I
recently
had
the
misfortune
of
staying
at
Crowne
Plaza
Midtown,
and
I
must
say,
it
was
hands
down
the
worst
hotel
experience
I’ve
ever
encountered.
Prior
to
my
stay,
I
had
come
across
various
negative
reviews
about
this
establishment,
but
I
had
brushed
them
off,
assuming
they
were
exaggerations.
Little
did
I
know,
these
reviews
were
an
understatement.
Let’s
start
with
the
state
of
the
hotel.
The
condition
was
abysmal
-
filthy
carpets
adorned
both
the
hallways
and
my
room,
while
peeling
paint
and
mold
greeted
me
by
the
bathtub.
As
if
the
physical
state
of
the
hotel
wasn’t
bad
enough,
the
amenities
were
severely
lacking.
No
drink
water
provided,
and
not
even
a
mini
fridge
in
the
room.
The
room
itself
was
more
spartan
than
comfortable.
The
service
was
another
major
letdown.
The
front
desk
staff
displayed
an
astonishing
level
of
rudeness,
complete
with
poker
faces
that
only
added
to
the
unpleasant
atmosphere.
The
quality
of
the
food
was
laughable,
with
a
disastrous
breakfast
that
managed
to
ruin
my
appetite
for
the
entire
day.
Even
the
Starbucks
coffee
they
offered
was
watery
and
unrecognizable
compared
to
the
Starbucks
standard
I’m
familiar
with
from
around
the
world.
Being
an
IHG
diamond
member
proved
to
be
a
futile
advantage
here.
It’s
as
if
your
status
is
neither
appreciated
nor
recognized.
Upon
checking
in,
I
dared
to
request
a
suite
upgrade,
mentioning
that
the
IHG
app
indicated
there
were
available
suites.
The
front
desk
staff
flat-out
lied,
claiming
that
the
suites
were
fully
booked.
My
attempt
to
claim
the
free
breakfast
that
came
with
my
diamond
status
was
another
uphill
battle.
To
top
it
off,
I
requested
a
late
check-out
for
my
departure
day,
only
to
be
denied.
The
attitude
of
the
management
team
throughout
my
stay
can
be
summarized
as
‘who
are
you?
Who
cares?’
It’s
clear
that
their
priority
was
not
ensuring
a
pleasant
guest
experience.
In
conclusion,
my
experience
at
Crowne
Plaza
Midtown
was
nothing
short
of
horrific.
The
hotel’s
dismal
condition,
lackluster
amenities,
poor
service,
and
unappreciative
attitude
toward
IHG
diamond
members
have
left
me
deeply
disappointed.
I
have
no
intention
of
ever
returning
to
this
establishment,
and
I
hope
my
review
serves
as
a
cautionary
tale
for
others
seeking
accommodation
in
the
area.
This
hotel
is
a
definite
pass.
