Run of the mill business hotel

Pretty good place and no complaints other than a request to have two rooms on the same floor was not addressed (starts dates a day off). Had made the request a while back and then again at check in. We saw other rooms be turned around on our floor but our elderly parents who checked in a day later still be on a different floor. I understand being fully booked, but there was absolutely no accommodation from the hotel.

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza at the start of April for 5 nights. The staff were very helpful and obliging and when we requested a room change, it was no trouble. We had booked breakfast and there was plenty of choice - from continental to Swahili. Thank you Crowne Plaza for a lovely stay.
