Everything spot on, the people make it!
The hotel is an older structure and has been modernised throughout to a very high standard with evidence of new work present around the lifts and some common areas; the rooms are probably getting ready for a refresh as whilst it was really clean there are chips out of the bath and the shower/taps could do with being renewed. The staff welcoming us at check-in were friendly and top class; that said the bar staff and breakfast staff were all really, really excellent in every way and they make the hotel absolutely perfect. The beds were comfy, the family room nice and quiet too, the breakfast was great and everything perfect which is why I love a Crowne Plaza

Comfortable room, great breakfast with good selection of food and drink, right next to Plymouth Hoe park so great for a very short walk to see, lovely views from the penthouse restaurant at breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

On arrival all was well and pleased with accommodation, by 9pm our room 114 (family room) stunk of cigarette smoke like we were sitting in an ashtray. There was a power cut in the hotel which rendered us in darkness with no explanation. Room 114 had the ventilation system underneath which meant no sleep from the time we went to bed to the time we vacated. By 7am our room was disgusting with the stench of cigarette smoke. We complained to reception and someone attended the room and apologised for the disgusting stench but not further action was taken. We checked out and reception waived our £15 parking charge for what was a £200 room. We were kindly provided with a room stinking of cigarettes which obviously was acceptable for us and our child, along with no sleep for 8 hours due to the ventilation system which is not highlighted in any literature and by the staff of the hotel. Great service indeed. Our review would be try a different hotel in Plymouth. As someone who works in a service environment and never complains, this has been our worst experience of inadequate and poor levels of service ever experienced.

This hotel was fine. It felt tired and a bit run down, much like Plymouth itself. I was disappointed in the stop here overall. That said, the staff at the hotel were lovely and the breakfast was great.

Hotel has an excellent location, it is right in front of the lighthouse. From the penthouse (at breakfast) you can see the 360 view of the city (kids loved next to the window and pointing out what they saw). Good dining options around and swimming pool was excellent I could not get kids out of it. We used the location to travel around different location sin Devon and Cornwall it worked good. The Barcode is nearby with good entertainment and food options too.

Mainly ok but go elsewhere for a drink
Have been here quite a few times. Great location and most staff are great. Breakfast at the weekend was very busy and a but chaotic. Lots of bottle necks. Staff doing best to keep replenishing breakfast items but some stuff ran out. Have previously enjoyed a evening drink in the top bar but will not bother again unless we feel like being ignored by the member by staff whose job it was to stake our order. At no point were we ever acknowledged. At least there was a young person behind the bar who tried to make up for it.

Great location
Excellent location and great views from breakfast which had lots of options and was very enjoyable. However, the air con in the room didn't work well and so it was very hot. We also had to wait a long time at reception for a member of staff to come. There should be someone there all the time to avoid long waits and large queues forming.
