Crowne Plaza Paris - Neuilly

What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum.

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Good stay - 7 out of 10

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Queen Bed - upgraded to King Room Eiffel Tower View

How are the rooms?
Good size, nothing special.
Hardware was good - looks very new. TV was excellent. Shower and bathroom was great. Definitely 4 star level hardware.
Bed was comfortable (medium hardness) and air-con was silent.
Eiffel View is not worth it if you have to pay for it - the tower is so far away in the distance

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A

What was good and what was bad?
GOOD
- Room hardware and cleanliness
- Rooms have a nespresso machine and free coffee pods!
- Two free bottles of water provided
- Toiletries are better than the usual
- OK lobby for chilling out
- Hotel private atrium outdoor terrace, which will be amazing in the summer
- Quiet location - located on a quiet road, its a residential neighbourhood
- Free bottle of red wine, some treats during check-in
- As a Platinum member, I was also given free minibar in the room! (But see below)
- Restaurant downstairs looked like it had a good menu, and well rated on TA. (make a booking on The Fork to get 30% discount!)

BAD
- Internet is super slow, can't even stream Youtube, don't rely on it for work. The wifi signal is stable, but slow.
- The free minibar was completely empty when I got to the room, and despite telling reception, was never refilled. Oh well. I was only there for 12 hours on business, so didn't kick up a fuss. During checkout I mentioned to the front desk and was immediately offered apologies (it should have been refilled) and offered a choice of drinks to take with me on my onward journey
- Breakfast is a very pricey EUR25 - I did not partake due to the price. However, apparently its a full breakfast with lots of hot options (unlike continental style in many other hotels in Paris).


Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
If you can get it for around EUR100, I would consider it a great deal. Anything more than EUR150 and it would start to feel like not such a great rate.
Location is in a suburb of Paris, so it will take some time to get to the main tourist attractions, if that's your purpose of visiting.
