Crowne Plaza Gerrards Cross

What is your Priority Club status?
Diamond Ambassador

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, upgraded to 2 Double Bed on top floor

How are the rooms?
Very nice and comfortable, sleek bathroom with shower, would have appreciated a bath.


How is the exec. lounge?
N/A

What was good and what was bad?
Good:

- Very nice breakfast spread including freshly squeezed juice options, cooked breakfast one of the better options I've had amongst 4* properties in the UK, our young daughter also loved the pancake machine and staff were doting on her (e.g. providing colouring crayons, playing with her etc) which was well received. I appreciated this as I got the impression the property is more of a Spa/couples retreat place, but we enjoyed our stay there nonetheless.
- Rooms are comfortable and modern
- Spa is nice, all the standard inclusions, wife loved it. Good operating hours 6am-10pm.

- Location is handy, fairly close to Heathrow outside London running up to Oxfordshire worked perfectly as a stopover on the A40.

Neutral

- Would have liked a bath in the room


Bad

- None


Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Paid £130 for 1 night which I felt reflected decent value for the quality of the hotel and location, usual cash rates can be often be much higher. CP Marlow not too far away may be a better overall option for families like ours, but the cash rate was almost £200 for our dates! Our daughter was still welcome in the Spa pool with no hour limitations so we still enjoyed our stay.
I would definitely return if rates were decent and I were returning to the area.
