The Crown is always a go to for our family. Great staff, fantastic amenities, nice sit down bar area and wonderful full service dinig room. And lets not forget how clean it was and all sraff was very friendly.
This is our go to hotel, we love the new remodel. Out only feedback would be the bedding is very thin and not cozy. And the bath towels are very rough, need fabric softener.
Pillow selection was favorable. Very light weight blankets. Luckily I had brought extra. No microwave in the room. Breakfast is NOT included without additional, high fee. No coffee available in the lobby. No changing room or toilet in the pool area (which was difficult to find access). Near the airport so expect to hear the planes. Many charging ports.

Clean and spacious rooms, good staff, good location. Stay away from Al's Kitchen, however.

Front desk ladies were great, and the bed was incredibly comfortable! Despite being a busy night with an event going the staff went out of their way to accommodate non event guests.
Our room had a terrible HVAC leak. Transferred rooms, new room was disgusting! Halls were gross. Found someone’s underwear underneath sink. Gross. Staff was lovely.
