Pleasantly surprised - but there were a couple minor issues
My teenage daughter and I stayed at the Crowne Plaza West Nov 30th and Dec 1st. The room was very comfortable, and the desk staff and bellman Jack were awesome. Very friendly and willing to help with anything and everything! We had no problems with noise, the bed was very nice, and the heating/cooling worked great. TGI Fridays and Target right in the same parking lot (handy). Might not be a great location for if you are seeing the sights downtown (there is a free drop-off shuttle, but it's a $20 cab ride back), but we were attending an Irish dance competition at the Commodore Barry Irish Center, and it was perfect for that! Issues: We came down for breakfast at 10:50 on Sunday, only to find the restaurant was only open 'til 10:30 for breakfast. :-( Also, the afternoon bellman seemed to have a problem with the fact that Jack (earlier bellman) had already set us up with an airport cab for 4:00pm. There were multiple cabs and I'm pretty sure we got pushed into one that was not the one Jack had set up for us. (It also ended up being $15 more than we had been told). Overall, though, I would definitely stay there again.
