“3 star hotel with 3 star expections”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

I have stayed at this hotel numerous times because of its location and proximity to my business meetings. I arrived late at night on 1/30 and stayed for a week. The night staff was very helpful in getting me a quiet room. Having stayed here in the past I have had issues with noise at this hotel. Bus loads of people will arrive at any time at night and the groups can be very noisy. It is a business hotel in need of a face lift especially in the bathrooms. The maids do their best at keeping the rooms clean. The morning service is very quick and not much gets done except picking up the sheets, towels and wiping the counters. I had to ask for soap twice. I think my biggest complaint at this hotel is the loud noise that the maids make in the hallways in the morning. They have total disregard for the guests and speak very, very loud to themselves in the hallways while going from room to room. I was on the third floor on Monday 2/6/12 and could not bear the loud voice of the maids. Therefore, I left early. Management should look into that. The heating units are through the wall type so you will wake up if you are a light sleeper. WIFI is free. I got a great deal on line and it is the best around if you want to stay in Cromwell. So, I really am not complaining. I got what I paid for.

Room Tip: Ask for a quiet room at reservation time and upon arrival

Thank you for sharing your comments and concerns with us. Although this is the first time we have received comments regarding loud housekeeping staff who speak to themselves we will certainly research who was assigned to your room and address it with them. Thanks for letting us know so that we can rectify this for our future guests.

“RUDE Front Desk Staff and HORRIBLE Customer Service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I was an overnight guest here this past week and was very displeased with the quality of service me and my wife expearenced. Upon our arrival, we here annoyed that there was no luggage carts nor Bellman to assist us with our luggage. While we were checking in, I brought this matter to the attention to Ira, the Front Desk Supervisor who had a horrible attitude from the start. He snarkly replied "Our hotel does not staff Bellman!" For a hotel of this size, you would think they would have someone on staff to help guests with luggage during the busy hours. Wrong! He basically tossed us our room keys, without so much as a "Do you need help with your bags?" or a friendly "I hope you enjoy your stay."

After what seemed like an never ending maze to our room, with absolutely no assistance with our bags (I had requested a room close to the elevator to accommodate my handicapped wife), our rooms keys did not work! When we were finally able to get in, we were upset to see what was before us. No clean linens, soap, or toilet paper!! We called the Front Desk and spoke to Ira who said he would send housekeeping to fix the issue. About 45 minutes later, a lady from the Housekeeping Department finally came, literally handed the linens to us and porceded to go. I kindly mentioned how I was not pleased with the hotels service (or lack of) thus far and she muttered something under her breath in Polish. Just when we thought nothing else could go wrong, we couldn't even use the internet due to it not working. Our calls to the Front Desk regarding our concerns seemed to fall on deaf ears!

As frequent travelers and patrons of many different lodging facilities, we have never endured such an awful, uncomfortable and terrible trip as we did at The Crowne Plaza of Cromwell. For the price we paid, we expected warm and friendly service at the very least. We will never stay over again here, should we ever travel to this area in the future.

Sincerely,

Mark
Dunwoody Georgia

“Stay elsewhere if you want a good night's sleep!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

person found this review helpful

I got a great on-line deal to stay at the Crowne Plaza and the location was ideal. The check-in staff person was friendly. The outside of the hotel appeared run down and the inside was very outdated. The hallway and elevator carpeting were worn and dirty in areas. The room itself was very clean and the bed was pretty comfortable. The bathroom was tiny! There was room for one person only and even that was uncomfortable. The heating system was so loud that I had to turn it off. Other guests had similar complaints. The walls were paper thin, and I had great difficulty falling asleep due to the noise from adjacent rooms. I woke to a fire alarm at 3 am and evacuated the building together with the other guests. When I inquired about the fire alarm at checkout, no explanation was provided and no apology was given for the inconvenience. The checkout person did not verbally respond when I relayed the information about the heating system nor did she thank me for my stay. I would never recommend this hotel. The next time I'm in the area, I will pay the extra money and stay somewhere nearby.

Thanks you for staying with us and sharing your concerns. I am sorry that we didn’t communicate that an inebriated guest pulled the fire alarm at 3am. We strive for great attention to detail and apologize for falling short of your expectations. We will review and address the communications shortcomings you mentioned and the heating systems. We are also currently refreshing our guest room bedding package and installing 32” Flat Screen TV’s to bring the hotel up to date.

“Nice place in Cromwell CT”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

This Crowne Plaza was very nice and clean. The room was a nice size, and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was VERY small, but worked. The hotel has free, in room wireless internet. I ordered rooom service and had the salmon, which was excellent. The food at the conference I was attending at the hotel was great (and healthy). The hotel staff were very helpful and considerate. The location is right off of a highway, so not a great area for walking outside, etc., but convenient to get there. I would stay here again.

Room Tip: Ask for room that isn't overlooking the roof-very ugly view.
