Nice hotel ( a bit expensive). Nice place. Staff for the most part were nice. I did ask a front clerk if there was an outdoor shower to wash sand off your feet. She immediately replied “no there isn’t “ I went by the pool and yes there was one. Maybe she didn’t know. Anyway good hotel I would stay again.

I was impressed by the hotel's beauty and cleanliness. The location on the water was also a significant advantage. Nevertheless, I was disappointed by the front desk staff's lack of customer service, which was similarly inadequate during my previous stay. To enhance their performance, I strongly recommend that they participate in training seminars.

The hotel itself was in very good repair, beds were comfortable. The pool however was in desperate need of repair. There was visible black mold, stairs were so filthy and slippery. The mold on the side of pool and in grout. I let the staff know but there little done about.

Beautiful ocean views and lots of walkable food options. Noise from karaoke bar lasted until almost 11 pm and Amtrak trains run right next to the hotel. Also, the bathrooms have sliding barn doors that are noisy if you open them while others in the room are sleeping. I would still stay here though because of the positives.

This hotel with its proximity to the water and its beautiful views is my favorite place to stay. The rooms are great. The restaurant has good food. Daniel, the bartender is awesome! Makes a wonderful Dirty Martini and provides great service overall. You have so much to do within walking distance.

The best part about this hotel is the location! It’s the only hotel located directly on the beach which explains the high daily cost. However, it’s an old hotel with old rooms. Carpet is dated and smells even in the “nicer” rooms. We had to switch rooms when we arrived because the first one had an awful intolerable musty smell. Bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Overall I wouldn’t pay over $300 a night in this place again.

Mixed review

The Crowne Plaza has a beautiful location right on the beach. The view is wonderful. The town side is we’ve never stayed in such a noisy hotel. Because the highway runs right next to it and the railroad track. There is noise all day long all night long. Also the configuration of the elevators is strange. The carpet outside the elevator doors was filthy. On the pro side, the beds were very comfortable.
