Crappy Hotel and no refund given!
I checked into the hotel and then went up to my room. When I got to my room, I noticed that the toilet was leaking and had leaked toilet water all over the bathroom floor. The AC in the room also did not work. I gathered up my things and went back downstairs and told the front desk folks what I had seen. They gave me another room and I went up to this room. When I got in the 2nd room it became apparent very quickly that this AC was also not working. I went back downstairs asked for a room with a working AC. It was at this point that the front desk woman told me that the AC was out in the whole building. I asked her why she hadn't just told me this in the first place and she said that she wasnt allowed too!! I was furious! I told her that she had wasted my time and asked for a refund for my stay. She then told me that she didn't have the authority to issue refunds and that I would have to call back the next day and speak with a manager. I have tried through Hotels.com and the Crowne Plaza and still have NOT gotten a refund. This is unacceptable and terrible way to conduct business.

After many stays this will be my last
Horrible experience for my 2-day stay. I've stayed at this property many times and this will be my last. Had to move rooms the first day because the AC wasnt working. New room... AC still not working (79° in the room), toilet does not properly flush, water is luke warm at best. Garage access kept disconnecting and had to call support multiple times. Staff was courteous but there was nothing they could do. The night front desk rep on my last night was full of attitude and rude. Came to learn that the AC issue was the entire building and was never resolved during my stay.

No major complaints
Desk service at check in was pretty average. Not overly friendly by any means.
Room was ok. TV is small. Bathtub drain wasn't functioning properly.
Hotel bar/restaurant was ok. Food was decent. Bar tender was nice.
