Like
most
venues
in
Melbourne,
Crown
Towers
relies
on
extensive
marketing
to
cover
up
just
how
extremely
lackluster
it
truly
is.
While
the
luxurious
lobby,
nice
rooms
and
amenities
(namely
the
pool
and
gym)
certainly
may
support
its
status
as
a
5-star
hotel,
the
service
is
akin
to
that
of
a
1-star
hotel.
From
snobby
attitudes
and
condescending
tones
to
downright
incompetence,
the
majority
of
staff
we
interacted
with
seemed
to
wish
they
were
somewhere
else,
and
for
future
patrons
of
the
Crown
Towers
that
mistakenly
make
a
booking
here,
I
sincerely
hope
those
staff
members
follow
that
wish.
The
free
upgrade
we
received
from
Deluxe
to
Premier
on
arrival
was
a
nice
touch,
however
having
to
call
up
multiple
times
to
have
our
room
serviced
on
two
nights
was
very
disappointing.
The
defensive
nature
of
the
guests
services
staff
and
suggestion
that
our
"Do
Not
Disturb"
light
was
on
while
we
were
exploring
the
city
was
also
not
welcome.
I
do
have
to
give
credit
to
the
staff
though
for
going
truly
above
and
beyond
by
incorrectly
charging
us
a
parking
fee
after
we
checked
out.
After
calling
up
to
inquire
the
incorrect
charges
and
speaking
briefly
with
a
disinterested
"Cassandra",
the
much
more
helpful
"Kit"
was
able
to
sort
it
out
for
us.
However,
the
explanation
that
the
parking
fee
was
likely
charged
due
to
the
cardholder
on
our
booking
having
the
same
surname
as
another
guest
that
utilised
the
parking
services
is
absolutely
unacceptable.
To
be
told
"Because
the
surname
is
Li,
another
person
with
the
surname
Li
would
have
used
the
parking
and
so
you
were
charged"
is
preposterous
and
potentially
discriminatory.
My
thoughts
and
prayers
go
out
to
the
Mohammeds
and
Kevin
Nguyens
that
stay
at
Crown
Towers.
For
a
hotel
run
by
a
casino,
it
seems
that
falsely
charging
its
patrons
is
likely
not
"human
error"
but
"human
nature".
I
would
not
recommend
anyone
stay
at
Crown
Towers
until
the
price
is
reduced
to
match
the
quality
of
the
service
or
it
becomes
a
completely
contactless
experience.
Even
the
homeless
man
with
the
speaker
has
better
interpersonal
skills
than
the
staff
here.
For
the
free
upgrade
and
owning
up
to
the
mistake
of
the
incorrect
charge,
I
give
Crown
Towers
1
star.
For
everything
else,
there's
Mr
Li's
MasterCard.
