Crowne Plaza Madrid Airport

What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
It was okay

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked two beds Executive - received same

How are the rooms?
Adequate - Free mini bar (well a small water and two cans of soda)- seperate shower. Quite small overall though and despite good glazing you could hear the planes


How is the exec. lounge?
Only available to those in suites

What was your welcome gift?
Voucher for one drink and some crisps in the bar

What was good and what was bad?

Good
Staff were excellent
On bus route to central Madrid

Bad
No upgrade unless you part with a hefty surcharge
No actual restaurant - the bar/snack bar doubles up so lacks atmosphere and dining options
Scheduled airport shuttle does not run to schedule - had to phone when nearly an hour had passed
More of a souless Holiday Inn than a Crowne Plaza
Euro 22.50 extra person charge for a child who shared a bed (no room for rollaway) and recieved nothing additional


Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
There appeared to be better options arount the airport and everyone else's shuttle bus seemed to run on time
