My wife and I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Crowne Plaza Manila, and unfortunately, our experience was marred by a few issues. While the hotel's location is convenient and the rooms are comfortable, there were several aspects that fell short of our expectations.
The room we received was average, with a notable exception - a large cockroach in the bathroom. This was a major turn-off and made us question the hotel's cleanliness standards. The sink in the bathroom also had a significant leak when in use, which was not only inconvenient but also a safety concern.
We were also disappointed with the dinner options at the hotel's restaurant, which was marketed as a buffet. The prices were steeper than we had anticipated, especially considering there were four of us in total. The child's meal was particularly expensive, at PHP 11,000 total which was a surprise
Despite these issues, the hotel's staff were friendly and helpful, and the room's amenities were modern and clean. The hotel's location is also convenient, with many dining and shopping options within walking distance.
I was also upset that the pool closer was not told at time of booking
