Staff was amazing, the place was spotless, and the room was very comfortable! Only small complaint I have was when having breakfast there, the selection was kind of small but also understandable due to the fact of not many people there because of the season! Other then that would stay again!
Staff at reception and shuttle were wonderful! Maids in the morning were very loud in the aisle way, while cleaning next room and knock 3 times before 9:40.
The Crown is always a go to for our family. Great staff, fantastic amenities, nice sit down bar area and wonderful full service dinig room. And lets not forget how clean it was and all sraff was very friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Room was nice and clean. It was nice to come to a warm cozy room since it was 22 degrees outside. Front desk staff was super nice and hotel was very nice. Will stay here again in the future!
The staff here was very nice. I asked if there was a free breakfast, and to my surprise the clerk offered me a free breakfast coupon for each of us the next day. My husband and I are on weird diets, so we had to contrive a breakfast, but the staff was helpful in that. The free breakfast was not typically included -- it was a special. The hotel was quiet and comfortable.
