“Not too bad.....but...”

Crowne Plaza Philadelphia Main Line

May 10, 2008

I was a little disappointed that my room had water stains on the ceiling-bed was fluffy-lots of pillows-towels were a little dingy but bathroom clean and lots of hot water. There aren't microwaves in the rooms or any area to warm up food/leftovers.Renovation obviously didnt go up to my floor-the 8th floor. The ice machine was broken and very poor lighting in the halls.There was a littlecoffee maker but 1pack of coffee and 1powdered creamer/sugar. I went downstairs to the lobby to ask for more coffee/creamer packs-I was very taken aback by the sarcastic remark made by the front desk clerk that she "didnt have coffee behind the counter"I gave up and got dressed and went to Starbucks-The parking was free but try to park as close to the front of hotel as possible. I checked my email on one of the computers located in the business center-nice enough pool and fitness room-Lobby waiting area art-deco theme with large flat panel tv-No free breakfast however.all in all not too bad-they just need to improve on their customer service--When checking out I was a little surprised that I wasnt asked for my room keys or how was my stay or even a come back again-the surrounding area has really improved-there's a TGIF,Starbucks,Asian Wei Pei restaurant-I would stay there again but ask for a renovated room.

“Find another hotel, anything BUT this one.”

Crowne Plaza Philadelphia Main Line

Apr 30, 2008

The best thing about this hotel is the friendly staff, but it stops there. The rooms are small and dirty. There was so much dust under the air conditioner/heating unit that we thought the capet had turned white. The curtain rod was broken. For our entire three day stay a used orange juice glass sat on the floor outside the door of a room down the hall. The breakfast in the restaurant was almost inedible. The coffee was luke warm and tasted as if it was from the bottom of the pot. When I called for the reservation I asked for a connecting room with a friend. I was told there would be no problem. When I arrived and inquired about the room I was told there was no connecting room but we were right next door to each other. It turns out she was down and across the hall. When I complained, I was told that was all they had (but the hotel hardly seemed crowded). The last straw was my last night. At midnight I went to the bathroom and flushed. The toilet overflowed. Once it stopped running, I used every available towel to soak up the lake on the floor. I went downstairs and spoke to the night manager. He instructed another worker (who said 'this happens all the time' to get the plunger and follow me upstairs. (I asked for an extra set of towels too since all of mine were on the floor.) We got to my room, the worker plunged the toilet and left. He neither took any of the fouled towels nor mopped the floor. I complained the next day to the day manager. Do NOT stay at this hotel! I took a chance after reading some old reviews on this site. It had mentioned a removation. I had thought it would be OK. Was I wrong!

Ok, I know there are some bad reviews on here of this hotel, but I really have nothing to complain about!

We stayed here for 4 nights to travel back and forth to St. Joe's.

Several restaurants and shops were nearby (TGI Fridays, Potbelly, Chipotle, Target all within walking distance). The also have a restaurant and bar onsite.

The rooms were clean (we were on the 4th floor) and the pillows/comforters were well...comfortable! Lots of tv channels, high speed internet for free, and the place was pretty quiet for the most part.

I asked for the St. Joe's rate and got my room for only $99 per night (on the st. joes's website in the athletic area, there is a list of preferred hotels, and it says St. Joe's preferred rate of $99 per night under this hotel)

All in all, I can't complain one bit about this hotel, easy on/off access to the highway, very close to downtown and St. Joe's.

Hotel staff was friendly and helpful.

Ok - one complaint - no free coffee in the lobby....$1 at the bar!

I was a little worried staying at this hotel after reading the reviews on here. But the hotels is really nice and recently renovaded, staff was really nice, elevators where really nice from inside, the lobby was really modern, although their internet speed was really slow. The rooms were nice, loved the bedding. restroom nice and clean, they have a clock/cd player that came with a relaxing CD!, you can also hook up your MP3 or Ipod to it, just ask the front desk for the cable. overall we had no problem. would recommend this hotel to anyone. there is a target right next to the hotel very convinient, aswell as a starbucks, chipotle, fridays. Take bus 44 to downtown only a 20 min ride ($2.00) stop is right outside the door. cabs are always standing by around check out time.

I am a flight attendant and had a layover here. My room was not nice at all--it was your typical old, dumpy, dirty Holiday Inn. It is right
off a freeway and it seemed to be in a very undesirable area. I was too scared to leave the room (I had my own food with me). When I was getting for work in the morning the blow dryer in the bathroom didn't work. I called front desk and asked if housekeeping could send one up---the answer was no. So I went to work with wet hair. I have written up this hotel to my company and try to avoid any trip with this hotel as the layover. Many other crew members have had similar complaints. I would not stay here if I got a 20.00 rate --it is that bad.
