Bit disappointed with our view from the room, just a roof really. Reception staff were very helpful and found us another room which had a better view of the river and outdoor sitting area. Made use of the pool, which was nice.
Lovely breakfast, very relaxing atmosphere.

First i would like to say, that compared with our last, which was brilliant . this time around i almost walked out.
the staff were friendly but kept asking other staff advice, which seem to me very unprofessional, plus our room had been changes because a leak , my friend had to sleep on a put you bed, i was not happy with this, then the breakfast which was
of poor quality, in the end i just left the plate full of food and it was cold, we had breakfast at 07.30, they did offer5 a refund of £50.00 really not good enough. i loved the veranda over looking the river which i had booked for, but i will really have to think about staying again.

Great location, very pleasant staff and comfortable bedroom
Breakfast below 4* hotel standard. Advised run out of fresh bread! Poor selection of fruit. Not for first time one of two coffee machines not working. General lack of checking on replenishing. Delays in removing finished food from our table.

Team members in reception and restaurant are attentive
Room with river view was amazing
Make a temporary wall to block the lift renovation work
Add honey comb, fruits, pan cakes and make the breakfast more colourful

L’accueil du personnel très souriant et le confort du lit sans oublié le décore de l’hôtel et de son lac juste derrières
L’hôtel propose des paniers de fruits à chaque étage une très belle attention.

The gym and swimming pool, however the spa jazzi was closed
The fact I couldn't pay at the bar with a £50.00 note even though they had lots of change in the till, they said it company policy, however nothing in there policy regarding £50.00 notes?

Harry was amazing. I rang to say i arrived early and i had a distressed baby and if he could get me a room earlier. He was sooo nice over the phone and told me to make my way down. Once i got to the hotel, he was very accomodating and got me my room. Towards the evening he even put a sofe bed on for us! Such a lovely person! He made our experience worth while! Thank u to Harry!

The staff were lovely! Very accommodating and happy to help. Bed also very comfortable and everything was clean. Only a 5-10 minute walk from the train station so perfect location for us.
A little run down and old fashioned.

Breakfast, staff and location were all good
The self service, the price I paid was not worth it to be honest I definitely overpaid for staying in the crowne plaza I was expecting alot more and overall I wasn't happy about the location itself it was not maintained well and I felt when we checked in it was not IHG standards

I loved the pool and gym. Great not having to prebook. It was also convenient having shampoo, conditioner and hand soap in the rooms, gym showers etc. There was a safe, iron and ironing board, fridge, hair-dryer and tea/coffee station, refilled daily. A sewing kit and shaver/shaving cream was given for free if you forgot to bring these items (a note was left in the room to inform you). You could also control the air-conditioning and there was a heated towel rack in the bathroom. We didn't pay any extra for the sofa-bed either.
The receptionist didn't know if breakfast had vegan options, said she could ask the next morning, but breakfast would cost 16 pounds instead of 9. We went to a lovely breakfast bar opposite the hotel (Gorge's). The door was automatically blocked at noon on our last day even though we had arranged late check-out. We had to go down to reception to re-code it, which wasn't a problem, just inconvenient.

Staff superb. Lots of plugs for chargers in room. Fresh granary bread ,Swiss cheese, ham and mushrooms at breakfast.
The artificial maple syrup. 100% real Canadian Maple syrup would have added a touch of quality to the breakfast.

Nice location, very close to the town centre. We left our car in the car park at the hotel and walked. We were in a room with a balcony, we could see the river. Our bed was so comfy. The gym was great. The swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi was amazing. Breakfast was delicious.

Staff were very nice and helpful. One side of the hotel faced the river. Lovely walk along the river.
Found blood stains on our duvet. Exchanged it for a single quilt inside a king size cover instead of a king size duvet. Not everything available on the menu. Very noisy due to traffic.
