We booked the Crowne Plaza on Congress Road as it was playing host to the 2024 National Cerebral Palsy Conference. We had an excellent wheelchair-accessible room. A really good venue for a large national conference. The staff were so helpful and could not do enough for us during our stay. Also, having a river view was wonderful.

Had a lovely two night stay. Staff were very helpful. I had a wonderful choice of food. Very unusual for me. Breakfast especially was amazing. Room was comfortable but I found bed on the hard side. Otherwise all fine. Complementary prosecco and discount on food and drink

A great stay at Glasgow, the reception team were great especially Mohammad, lots of enthusiasm. Very comfy room and I slept with no problems. AC is louder than a fighter jet mind so you won't have that on in the night. A fantastic breakfast, one of the best I've had. The only let down was the daily parking charge even for IHG members especially as the car park wasn't full despite the hotel being busy.

I have visited this Hotel on many occasions but was really disappointed on my last visit. The Hotels standards is starting to fall. Some parts of the Hotel were really dirty, glass on the doors between the corridors and lifts. …
