Crowne Plaza Athens

What is your Priority Club status?
Spire

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

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked standard room on points. Received junior suite.

How are the rooms?
How is the exec. lounge?
See my photos from the linked thread.

What was good and what was bad?
Efficient check-in
Lounge access granted - lounge well-stocked
Insufficient lighting in room
Near to Megaro Moussikis metro station - but the immediate area is not very pedestrian friendly with poorly paved sidewalks and crazy drivers on the major road Michalakopoulou - we were carrying backpacks only and would not recommend walking there with wheeled luggage.
Good toiletries
The pool was closed for the winter

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
25000 points was reasonably good value. Despite it being winter and the hotel probably only being half full, the paid rate was quite high.
The experience may be very different in summer when it is crowded.
I would stay here again, but if I stop being Spire and no longer receive lounge access, I would probably choose the airport Holiday Inn instead (I've finished most of the sights in Athens so would only be in transit to elsewhere in Greece).
