Crowne Plaza Auckland Master Thread
I thought I'd say something nice...
This property has been discussed quite often and seems to have a good reputation for observing Platinum benefits - and I've always been given lounge access, even when the hotel busy (i.e. no room upgrades). Tonight, I was welcomed back by a stranger (at least to me but I do like the little touches) and upgraded to a two floor executive suite on the top floor, and very nice it is.
It's been a couple of years since I was last here but the buffet in the club lounge is still done to a high standard.
I haven't stayed at any of the other Auckland hotels (I'm a Hilton Diamond at the moment so perhaps I should have taken the opportunity) but I went with what I know today and I wasn't disappointed.
