Decent. Beds comfortable, clean, rooms well appointed, easy parking and check in check out. late check out standard which was nice. Pool and Hot Tub were great, Restaurant menu was limited but good and wait staff (the bartender) was super nice. Only reason for the mark down, the ice machine on our floor was broken and the filtered water dispenser didn't work. It felt a little overpriced for what it was but hey it's Palo Alto so probably on par.

The tops were very old and run down. Carpet dirty. Furnishings all old and damaged. Fridge did not work even after notifying team and having maintenace look at. Lost expensive medication that required refrigeration. Staff did not direct to elevator so had to carry suitcases up stairs. Cold shower in the morning at 9am. Thin walls and could hear adjoining room. Wifi too slow to be usable. Very very poor stay. A poor reflection on the Crowne plaza brand. Will avoid Crowne plaza hotels is future.

The one thing that’s truly horrible about this place is that there aren’t more elevators! Not having one for guests and staff at the far end is bad bad bad. For gosh sakes take out one room and put one in! Another thing i noticed is how narrow the stairways are and seems like a major safety issue. For older folks this far end is horrible for getting to and from. Great staff!

Older hotel in a convenient location. Room was nice and spacious, but dated. Overall, very convenient and walkable to several restaurants. One star off because of $20 fee for parking. Other hotels in the area don’t charge for parking.

Upon arriving to the property, they had no A0A walk in shower rooms. Available. I was accommodated with a first room floor one twelve close to the entrance.But there was a repetitive buzzing noise that happened in the room.Every fifteen minutes for a minimum of 3-5 minutes. I attempted to unplug items in the room just so I can get a good night's sleep.But it didn't help alleviate it.And the sound kept going throughout the night consistently. And I was actually visiting the property for a funeral. So my sleep was extremely important. But the front desk staff did provide 2 complementary breakfast buffets as a jester, which were mediocre at best.
