    View from our room

    Front desk staff was very subpar in terms of welcoming guests. We heard other people complain next to us... Not a good start. So let me start the nightmare the front door was broken. Couldn't bliss or open it... that required drilling and hammering for 20min without fixing it all the way... The maintenance guy felt bad gave us a breakfast voucher. Next, Shower didn't drain either with very poor water pressure and absolutely no place to store ANY toiletries or towels - Bed frame was broke on one side so your head was lower than your legs.... Room was supposed to be an ocean front.... Absolutely NOT room #174 has zero view what so ever at the exception of a huge gazebo where the band played till 10 pm about 10 feet away from our window just imagine how loud it got. FYI there is only 1 room in the ground floor that has an ocean view all others have an obstructed view because of the very dense vegetation. Ours was the absolute worst. So totally unacceptable at all levels. Only After my husband went down and stated clearly that we were NOT staying in that room we were moved after being told at check in the hotel was full and no other rooms were available....

    We had a wonderful stay at Crowne Plaza Melbourne Oceanfront! This is a beautiful property, right on the ocean. The view from our balcony room was spectacular and serene - couldn't ask for better! The room was spotless, great amenities and comfortable bed! We had a delicious lunch at Longboards Oceanfront Grille on the ocean deck. We loved the Crowne Jewel Mule and Longboard Lager - Seafood Risotto is a MUST! Added bonus was the LIVE music!! All staff members were professional and friendly. Special thanks to Sean Schofield for the star treatment, going above and beyond to make our stay IHG Amazing!

    Cheers at Longboards

    Spent this past weekend at the hotel for somewhat of a stay cation. I arrived early (10am) for check-in and the front staff was very pleasant. They offered me an upgraded room with a balcony and would text me as soon as it was ready. I left our luggage with the front desk and off to the beach we went. There was a 3rd party rental service on the beach that provided chairs, umbrella, and small table setups for $40 for the day. They accept cash or card. We enjoyed the day catching rays and listening to the ocean. After, we gathered our luggage from the front counter and checked in our room. Our room was extremely clean and had plenty of towels stocked. The balcony was a nice addition and we could see the pool and the ocean. The only thing would be that the water pressure was low in the shower. This hotel has a restaurant, bar, ballrooms to hold parties, Starbucks, Gelato, a pool, direct beach access, valet parking ($8 for day, $20 for overnight), and friendly staff. We will be back.

    Not awesome and not really bad. Some parts of the facility seem updated while other parts seem dated. Twenty dollars per day for parking when one can park themselves; not cool. Would not stay again

    View from pool

    We used Resortpass.com to book a day room here. So I had a standard king room and use of all amenities from 9am to 6pm for 132$. The hotel is lovely not too fancy but nice enough and very clean. Our room was on the ground level right outside the pool which was perfect as it was hot hot hot today. The pool was very clean and just a short distance to the beach . You are able to rent chairs and umbrellas kayaks boogie boards and such. There is an outdoor bar and grill fully covered from sun and great views of the beach and ocean. Food was good nothing special but good. All the staff we came in contact with were very pleasant and very helpful. Overall good experience and these new day passes are great for testing the waters on hotels and getting away for a relaxing day.

    My partner and I recently stayed here this past weekend to attend a wedding at this location. Crowne Plaza Hotel is an amazing property situated right on the Atlantic. The rooms were spacious, clean, modern and well maintained. The views from the room were spectacular of the ocean and the pool we had. There were a couple of on-site establishments - Longboards Oceanfront Grille (bar/restaurant) as well as gelato and a Starbucks. Crowne Plaza is definitely a "one-stop" hotel and you don't even need to leave the property. Parking is a third party to either valet at $24 or self park at $16 per day at a lot across the street using an overpass over AIA highway and does not belong to the hotel. Staff was very helpful and friendly from the first minute checked in. Price was affordable for the location, comfort, amenities and the view which we can recommend.

    Apparently the Valet can BREAK YOUR CAR WINDOW and tear up your steering wheel cover and get away with it and you're left to pay for the damages. Manager for the valet never helped at all. And after getting the claim link from the hotel manager they refuse to pay for damages. Better off doing self park because they will definitely try to sleeze their way out of any damages they make to your vehicle. (Update: The valet is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has a one star rating due to them scamming people in very similar situations to mine. Best bet is calling the cops so you have some kind of record or else they will say you have no proof. Make sure to record everything. Truly wish I had called the police. This Valet business is criminal.)

    We really enjoyed our 5 night stay at The Crowne Plaza Melbourne-Oceanfront. You have direct access to the beach, we stayed on the 8th floor and we had a great beach view. It was nice waking up each morning to that beautiful view. The hotel was clean, very comfortable bed and friendly staff. Two days during our stay we went to Longboards Ocean Front Grille. It's a restaurant located adjacent to the hotel. We just went for appetizers and drinks. I must say We had the best server- Raiza. She provided outstanding service. I must compliment her for going above and beyond, making us feel at home. Thank you Raiza!!! When going to Longboards ask for Raiza. I would definitely stay here again.

    We recently spent 4 nights at this hotel. The lobby was very nice and the workers we did have interaction with were all great. They have a Starbucks connected to the lobby which was very convenient! We enjoyed the pool and beach quite a few times. We bought all our own beach equipment, so we don't have any suggestions for the hotel's equipment. However the pool towels were probably the roughest towels we have ever used. The hallways were nice looking but temperature who's horrid! It felt like there was no AC used in the hallways and any coolness you did get was because it was coming out of a room. The room AC, while actually worked pretty well! We are not sure if it was just our room but upon entering our room it already had a slight musky scent to it, the floor was covered in sand (like it was never swept/vacuumed between customers), toilet was on a slant (so it felt like you were falling off every time you used it), the balcony felt dangerous (I could look down giant cracks between the floor and the railing) and the door to the balcony was so weathered it was disgusting and hurtful to touch. The last complaint, I get that this is something expected to happen when at a hotel on the water but I feel like this was so bad that it's something that should have been addressed. Would we stay here again? Most likely not, but we made it work for the few nights we were there. The really nice thing is we had an absolutely amazing view of a rocket launch! Definitely was worth it for that alone!

    This is a very average hotel, and yet another one that I wish I had checked yelp in addition to the hotels.com reviews. The pictures on Hotels.com are somewhat accurate, but have a filter applied that makes it look much nicer and cleaner instead of a place where hope comes to die. The first room that they tried to give us (305) was soooo gross and had a view of a rooftop which one could view through windows that looked like they were in an abandoned building, not a fully packed hotel. The next room was much more acceptable, but the cleaning crew did a half-a$$ed job of cleaning as there was hair in the shower and what looks like ketchup under the ice bucket lid. God only knows what other things we didn't catch. The facility, itself, is ok. The beach is accessible from a small staircase and is clean. Renting 2 chairs and an imbrella will coat you $40 per day. Shells are definitely bountiful! The pool is a nice size, the restaurant is good, and a band plays every night. Expect loud music until 10pm.

    Specifically for "The Bistro"…read more Apologies for the lengthy post in advance. We checked in today and noticed that The Bistro was listed as being open until 10:00 PM. Around 8:40 PM, I went downstairs to ask about laundry services and dinner options. I want to note that the front desk staff was excellent -- very kind, professional, and informative. Unfortunately, my experience at The Bistro was very different. When I approached the bar area to place a to-go order for my room, the bartender, Nikkii, responded by saying, "I guess, but people don't normally do dinner this late," while giving me a very uncomfortable look. Considering the restaurant was still open for another hour and a half, I found that comment inappropriate and unprofessional. I then asked if the restaurant's hours had changed from the posted 10:00 PM closing time, but instead of clarifying, she simply stated that I could not order soup because it is prepped in the morning. While I completely understand certain menu limitations later in the evening, the overall interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming. As someone who also works in the service industry as a bartender, I understand that late-night orders can sometimes be frustrating, but it is still important to treat guests with courtesy and professionalism during operating hours. After placing my order, I realized that Nikkii herself would be preparing the food, which honestly made me uncomfortable given the attitude displayed throughout the interaction. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, because the front desk staff set a wonderful tone for the stay, and it was disappointing for the dining experience to feel so unnecessarily negative. A little more patience and kindness toward guests would go a long way.

The lovely Marie who was so engaging and helpful with a can do attitude is no longer there. The current staff never welcomed us or even made a weak attempt to make conversation with us. No smiling, just acted like they were being put upon. I did observe this with other people waiting to check in. No waters were offered and they were always found not at the front desk when we needed something. I will say upon checkout Richard was nice , but we only saw him about 5 minutes, just long enough to check out. The breakfast which used to be quite good was really terrible this time. Even if you got there before they opened, the bacon was either flabby or burnt and that was the best thing offered besides a basic bagel or toast. Sausages cold and do were eggs and potatoes. Not even edible. One bite of each and it was over. The hotel is located close to some good restaurants, so we made it work. That staff was even less friendly and that was not the case on prior visits. The room was nice as always though someone banged hard on our door in the middle of the night. We did not open the door, but think it was just some rowdy teenagers ( what we could see thru the peephole).The rooftop restaurant and bar was closed for an event. Having said all that, we still love the location. Hope the front desk staff receive some customer service training and all will be well. I'm friendly and really get irked when people act like I'm putting them out with a simple question.
