Had a 2 night stay and opted for lounge access.Rooms were good and had the best sofa bed ever!Breakfast was excellent as well.Only downside was the lounge. Thursday night was good. Snacks and canapés always available but Friday night the poor guy was overwhelmed by the sheer number using it. One extra person for 2 hours would have easily helped.Managed 1 drink each and a bag of crisps (which I got myself). A simple solution would improve the experience

Stayed here on many occasions and always had a lovely time. Despite the dull grey exterior of the building once inside in is very nice. Made use of the pool and spa which is very clean. …

I visited recently for lunch with a friend, we both choose from the light menu, choosing 3 different dishes instead of a set meal. We both choose differently. …

Had an absolutely outstanding stay at the Crowne Plaza.The room was incredibly spacious, fresh and well stocked with all the usual amenities. It had an excellent view of the lighthouse and monuments in Plymouth.The highlight of our trip was one of the bar staff, Izobel. She was excellent on both nights. First we met her in the downstairs bar and then in the guest lounge on the top floor. She was so polite and attentive. Could not have asked for more incredible customer service.The location here is fantastic being only a few minutes from the local Lido and lighthouse just a short walk away.Also have to give honourable mention - the hotel pool is also great and worth making use of. Staff here were helpful and very informative about all the facilities.Without a shadow of a doubt, I would stay here again.

Excellent location - a quality hotel. The staff were courteous and very professional. The Guest Services Manager - Vanessa Cloke was keen to make sure that we as a family had an excellent long weekend. We I am sure will return to stay at this IHG hotel.|Lyndon Samuel

We booked this hotel for its location and brand. We were a party of two couples and a toddler for the long weekend.firstly, the rooms are decent size but dated (bathtubs with showers, old carpet? Also the staff lacked any form of hospitality training. Booked rooms together, but were separate.When we arrived, I asked for assistance with our car full of luggage. The bellman, didn't greet us and took the trolley to the footpath then just stopped and just looked at us, he just proceeded to watched us whilst we loaded our own luggage off the car onto his trolley, then left it outside our rooms to unload it ourselves, all without saying a word except to say "I will be back for the trolley".When leaving, we asked for the luggage trolley and were left to wait 20 minutes, this time the bellman didn't even turn up. Finally, we had no choice but to load 4 suitcases, five handbags and a toddler in a pushchair holding open the lift door. When we went down stairs, the same man was standing behind reception looking at a screen with no one in front of him?We are frequent travellers (like Dubai and Far East), never seen this type of behaviour and lack of basic politeness and general courtesy from a member of staff, who quite clearly shouldn't be in the job! The whole stay was overshadowed with the entrance and departure, what a shame.We will definitely not be returning!

A decent hotel with friendly staff and pleasant facilities. I would definitely recommend and will likely stay again. A definite step up from the normal chain hotels. My bathroom was small and tired but I understand that these are in the process of being improved/upgraded and the car park is very tight but it does have one.

The location is excellentThe staff were friendlyWe absolutely loved that we had use of the pool and other facilities during our stay.The room was large and spacious, with a sofa and seats next to the window.My partner and I have stayed here on a number of occasions, some rooms are very clean, others are a little worse for wear, i.e the carpet is stained or worn. The bar is efficient, check in was easy and even when it’s busy there’s never a long wait to get your room and any information needed.We’ve heard mixed reviews about the restaurant from family and friends so we avoided it as the location is central enough to go anywhere to eat within the city centre, Barbican or Hoe that won’t fail to disappoint.Happy and safe travels!
