Location was fine, but what I did not like was the rude staff upon check in. Seeing as how we had already registered, and asked to wait as our room was not ready, 3 hours later when we returned, i went to the front desk to check, and I was told to "wait like everyone else". Its fine if I had to queue, but I am very sure the choice of words could be better.

Positives: Very close to train stations, walkable distance and flat for walking with luggage etc. Taxi from Euston was only £10, which was quite reasonable. Service was amazing, we turned up at hotel to drop luggage as it was 3 hrs before check in time and they said there was an available room, which we were extremely grateful of after a long journey. Room service was good and fast, even though they said they were really busy and there may be a wait. I dropped my wedding ring down the sink and I called reception and they sent someone up immediately who retrieved the ring within seconds, I am so appreciative to this gentlemen and was so elated I got my ring back I never took his name, however it was Saturday 23rd around 11am he came to room 528, he deserves credit for this. Negatives: Room was quite narrow, not enough wardrobe space for 4 people and only 3 towels where set out, room was quite warm and air con seemed to blow out hot air, this was manageable as it was November, however would have hated to be in this room in the warmer months. The skirting boards could do with being freshened up to keep to 4 star rating.

Noisy, busy awful customer service
Awful place to stay, noisy guests with little soundproofing in the adjoining rooms. Far too hot even with air con on full, narrow room with no space to manoeuvre and uncomfortable pillows. Huge queues for breakfast (which wasn’t the best anyway) and seated the other side away from the restaurant so having to navigate the huge queue of people when returning to your table with food and drinks. Advised the staff of our experience and wasn’t even offered an apology or any resolve. Terrible customer service, will never return or consider a Crowne Plaza again!
