Felt like i was not wanted . Only one member of staff said hello . Check in took ages . Went to bar to get 2 drinks had been acknowledged by barman but when a group of 10 people turned up he ignored me and served them instead. No apology or anything . I felt like as just a couple we were not really wanted . The staff seemed more interested in big groups than just individual people or couples . I WILL NOT BE STAYING HERE AGAIN . I STAYED AT THE ALVERSTONE EARLIER IN WEEK AND THAT IS 10 TIMES BETTER. ALSO STAYED AT THE LEONARDO HOTEL SOUTHAMPTON BIG HOTEL LIKE THIS ONE BUT FELT WELCOME AND NEEDED STAFF FRIENDLY ALWAYS SAID HELLO .

Location was good, lots of amenities and easy to park. Outside terrace area and grounds were lovely. Hotel room was functional, bathroom had a constant smell of sewage. Room was too warm and the aircon did not cool it down. Breakfast had a good selection of food but typical buffet style and hot food was dry from being left under heat lamps. All in all a very average stay and very pricey for what it was.

Overall it was a very good stay. The hotel was very clean and the room was good except the bathroom was on the small side and the water pressure on the shower was a bit weak. The staff were very attentive. Other than the bathroom gripe I suppose the biggest complaint was lack of free parking for guests.

Spacious hotel in the heart of Stratford upon Avon. Nice bar and restuarant area. The hotel is spotlessly clean and parking was easy. Our room was nice. Not sure about the two single beds pushed together to make a super king. There was even two single duvets, so felt we were sleeping separately. The bathroom was very small and dated.

Staff were excellent. Our room wasnt ready at checkin time, they were apolgetic and offered us a drink in the bar. The staff across the whole hotel had a genuine caring and empathetic attitude to the guests which was nice. The facilities were great and walkable to RSC and town centre. Would recommend and stay here again. Ample parking at reasonable price for guests.

Had a lovely one night stay at Crowne Plaza and it was very enjoyable. The staff were so attentive and friendly throughout the hotel (especially at breakfast when they were so busy and had a few difficult customers to deal with!!) they dealt with everything so professionally and politely. Nothing too much trouble and all food was prepared to a high standard. Will definitely book again.

The hotel is well placed, especially for the theatre. There was a large function on the night we stayed, which led to a shambolic breakfast buffet. No indication of where the queue started (on a circular buffet) which meant very long delays. The pool area is nice and was quiet when we used it. The staff were very friendly

Stratford night out.....
Stayed for a night out. On arrival staff greeting was very pleasant and stayed that way throughout, always happy to help with any enquiries. The room was clean spacious with a decent sized TV . The shower wasn't the best I've had but wasn't the worst either, also no plug for the bath but since I wasn't taking a bath it didn't bother me. The hotel facilities were excellent, plenty of parking at £10 per night. Good leisure facilities including a swimming pool. The bar was spacious Spacious, comfortable and relaxing although you needed to take a second mortgage out to drink there but that's true of all nice hotels. The restaurant was nice and clean. I only had breakfast there but it was five star, one of the best I've had . Self service with an excellent range of choice, they had everything. Overall an excellent stay and would definitely stay there again.

Heeren

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Positives: The reception, bar etc on the ground floor has a 'prestigious' feel to it, like a fancy big-city hotel. Room service was great, room itself was comfy, nice shower, great location, parking was expensive but lots of spaces so you can park nearby at least. Negatives: there was some kind of service door between my room and the adjacent room. It allowed a lot of the sounds and smells in from the adjacent room which made my experience unpleasant as I felt a lack of privacy and personal space. Also the door was not marked/signed, so on multiple occasions the people next door tried opening the door which was a bit scary. I have been subscribed to various spam emails from this hotel group and there is no easy option to unsubscribe. For these two reasons I have removed two stars from the rating. Won't be returning to this hotel again unfortunately.
