“This hotel has a prime location within the Crown complex, and it distinguishes itself with a heated infinity pool and on-site dining options, providing leisure and convenience; however, some may find the service inconsistent. The rooms feature modern decor and are generally well-maintained, but I noticed that some guests have reported issues with cleanliness and responsiveness, so temper your expectations accordingly.”
