Crowne Plaza Qingdao

服務非常好，套房非常安靜，晚上可以得到很好的休息。地理位置也不錯，周邊吃飯購物各種場所都不遠，總體感覺還是性價比超級棒的。

The bad part is its aging furnishings, not because of old age, but more because of lack of maintenance. Some that I found troubling and unsafe in my room 2509, but were easily fixable (and somehow wasn’t fixed) were: 1) One side of the desk containing tons of electricity wires completely fell off - an obvious fire and electricity hazard; 2) shower head holder was loose - several times the shower head fell and knocked head; 3) closet door could not be closed no mater how I tried, it kept creaking open wide. Doesn’t feel like IHG standard. The absolutely great part is the house keeping. The lady who serviced my room saw I have some medicine laying around in the room, and she left a few extra bottles of water, with a very thoughtful note wishing I feel better soon. She made my day. Thank you! Other things are as expected. Hotel building is old, but still charming. Location is not bad, in front of Yan’er Rd Station on Line 2. Lots of food and a couple of malls within 5 mins walk.

酒店設備好，都是名牌，特別好用。酒店位置好，青島市中心，離地鐵站近，周圍是著名商場，著名景點，如奧帆中心；酒店衞生好，進入房間後特別乾淨，沒有任何不好的味道；酒店的人好，特別是大堂經理趙慧潔在我入住之前就給我打電話詢問我有什麼要求，並充分滿足，使我在這裏度過美好的一天。 【動人夜景】

帶孩子的親子假期，決定選皇冠，一是因為性價比相當好，二是酒店介紹一樓有個《再讀書店》，一下就被書店鎖定啦。下雨天，我們從大堂走出去往左繞到書店，點一杯咖啡，看看LP關於青島的介紹，再多瞭解瞭解青島，很是愜意。皇冠，深色調的大廳有着厚重感，房間的床很舒服，枕頭有4種選擇，尤其喜歡衞生間洗手液的味道。酒店的早餐非常豐富，這讓我更加喜歡皇冠了，熱心的餐廳經理杜霜女士，幫我們介紹酒店，問我們對酒店的體驗，還送了水果。客房服務人員王翠雲，貼心的給我床頭看的書放置了書簽，很暖心。作為老牌五星酒店，服務很好，交通便利，但也不可避免的是客房浴缸的老舊，電視機的不清晰。酒店的游泳池，有點小，水温高，不像泳池，更像大的温泉池子。

很老的酒店了，在32樓行政樓層景觀房以上且天氣晴朗的情況下才能遠眺一小角的遠處海景。入住期間酒店外牆在清洗，的確該清洗了玻璃窗很臟，窗外高樓林立旁邊一大片基建工地其實沒有什麼景可言，但是在旅遊旺季這個幾乎是快捷酒店的價格入住性價比個人覺得很高。青島最早一批五星級酒店之一的老牌酒店設施難免老化，室內裝修、燈光也都是20年前的風格，整個走道房間都有一股陳腐的味道，但，軟件值得一誇，特別保潔人員，簡直讓你招架不住的熱情體貼，看到我們出門兒話不説直接往每人手裡塞一瓶水，千叮嚀萬囑咐要戴帽子搽防曬霜。都是主動的。這個為酒店拉回不少分。

Although a bit dated, hotel was in a good central location. Room was of considerable size except for the toilet which was kinda cramp. Closed to places of interest. Service staff were efficient and polite. Perhaps it's time to do a little touch up.

The hotel was little old but clean and the location was excellent. The Staff were kind and helpful

Arrival: Upon arrival the receptionist was so busy picking up phone all the time during check-in that she hardly spoke a single word. No mentioning of how WiFi works or where to have breakfast. She finally only gestured towards the elevator. Room: The room might have been luxurious 50 years ago. Now it was not only old-fashioned, but also far from being well maintained. There was an unpleasant smell from the toilets, the shower head was old and static/non-flexible, the windows extremely dirty and the arrangement of the light switches was beyond logic. Most of all the sea-view was limited to a little corner in a side window, despite 100 RMB extra for a “sea-view suite”. Receptionist: Telling the receptionist about the problems didn’t help at all. She first found excuses saying that Ctrip had posted the wrong photo on the app. Then stating that because of the Qingming festival every other room had already been booked out. Finally, claiming I needed to pay for an upgrade (although I had already booked the most expensive room/suite). I couldn’t believe when she ended with the remark that I should be happy to be at the Crown Plaza, because it was a lot cheaper than other 5star hotels, but I could cancel and book something else. Breakfast: The breakfast experience the next morning completed the negative impression: broken cups, a coffee machine that didn’t offer latte or cappuccino, waste being openly exposed to guests and obviously unskilled or badly trained personnel. All in all, I cannot recommend this hotel at all!

This time we stayed in 1913, which is a bit smaller than the other suites. The windows are quite high, so it feels a bit cramped. Other than that it was still a really nice stay with superb service. They are always super helpful, and always help me to book restaurants. As always the breakfast is superb with plenty of western options. Also lots of good restaurants just down the road.
