  • Valley only.

“I wouldn't stay here again for what I paid. It was not worth the money for room service either and the room looked different from what was.”

  • Very friendly and helpful staff.
  • Older interior, carpets, etc. needs remodel to get up to date.

“Overall a good experience with very helpful staff and okay Downtown location, and cab rides are only $6 to anywhere in Downtown area. Outdoor pool area is dated, but water was clean, cool and refreshing. Small park right across the street was great to take the kids for some exercise and play some catch. Older hotel with dated interior beyond the lobby, lower end "3 Star" but still solid choice for the price.”

  • Staff was very nice.
  • Nothing was open around the hotel. The shuttle only ran in the downtown area, and nothing was open downtown over the weekend.

“Room was fairly clean but nothing spectacular. If you want to just stay in the hotel, not bad. Nothing is open around the hotel on the weekends.”

  • Personnel were attentive & friendly with us! Super service!
  • Parking is not free-valet service for 3 days $68.00-ouch!

“The hotel was great. The service was awesome! Shuttle service took us everywhere-Minute Maid Park, Restaurants, Aquarium at no charge, just tips! We had a great time the rooms were comfortable and very well maintained!”

  • Excellent foam mattresses were a joy.
  • Could have had a larger television set.

“Excellent facility with a friendly and accommodating staff. If there is a downside it is the mandatory use of valet parking. However, there was not an alternative in this part of Houston.”

  • It was really close to Toyota Center which is where we needed to go.
  • Valet only parking was $22.00 per night.

“We wanted a nice hotel close to the Toyota Center because we were going to a concert. The Crown Plaza was beautiful and the staff was really friendly and helpful. The free shuttle was awesome however, the hotel parking was valet only and $22.00 a night. Lucky for us, as we only stayed one night. Other than that, I would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone staying overnight in downtown Houston.”

“The Downtown Houston Crowne Plaza surpasses any other Crowne Plaza I have used. The staff was exceptional, helpful and courteous. I have already recommended the hotel to others when we travel there next month.”

  • The front desk staff.
  • No smoking rooms & room service attendant was rude.

“The overall stay at the hotel was ok. This is not a 3 star hotel, about 2.5 star at best. No smoking rooms made it very inconvenient for smokers.”

  • Sleep CD in room.
  • Fitness rooms is very small, hotel is in need of a renovation.

“Sleep CD in room was very relaxing and the bed was okay; however all the other furniture and decorations in the room were very dated. Fitness room was very small and only had 2 elliptical machines and two treadmills; which were both out of order plus there were no free weights. In order to get to the fitness room you had to walk out of the hotel; which was not very convenient because it was raining. The next time we stay in downtown Houston we will probably choose another hotel.”

  • Attractive room.
  • Extremely loud elevator noise outside our room.

“We did not like the fact that the only parking available was valet and it cost $12 per day. We usually go back to the hotel during our visit but did not this time because of the hassle of parking.”

  • Really comfortable beds! Have stayed in the same hotel several times over the last 5 years. Consistently good service and quality.
  • Room service trays/dishes from rooms near our were not picked up even after 24 hours. All TV channels had some problems with fuzziness and audio.

“As always, this has been a great hotel for my needs. Rooms are extremely clean with some of the most comfortable beds I've ever stayed in. The location is great and close to highways although you need to ask for directions onto 59 South before you leave the building because the local signage isn't very helpful! I'm still very happy with this hotel for the price I paid.”

  • Allot of construction going on across the street.

“It is a nice hotel for the star rating it gets. The staff is for the most part helpful. Decent food in the restaurant.”

  • Great room, no smoke or smell. Would go back anytime.
  • To far from ice machine. Could be good?

“Got to the hotel late and was able to get anything I wanted on the full menu. Portions were large and well prepared. Two blocks from the passport office where I needed to go in the morning. The bed was great. We had a problem with my car and a gentleman at the desk recommended a repair shop 5 blocks from the hotel. In between stops at the passport office had breakfast at the hotel (excellent), and took the car in. After getting the passport, picked up the car and headed home (San Antonio) around 6 p.m. Would stay there any time.”
