Crowne Plaza Kitchener-Waterloo Reviews

The room was clean but quite outdated, with a musty odor, reminiscent of damp towels. The bed and pillows were comfortable, which was a plus. However, there were no toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers provided. The coffee machine in the room had water pooled in the tray, likely from the previous guest's usage and it appeared never have been cleaned. Additionally , there was no hot water kettle or bottled water provided in the room which was disappointing.  The lobby, corridors, and other public areas had a strong smell of bleach, which was overwhelming. The buffet breakfast was a highlight. For CAD$20, it offered a wide selection, and the quality was excellent, making it a great value. Service was a bit of a mixed bag. Restaurant staff, especially Erica, was fantastic—attentive, polite, and thoughtful. She checked in with every guest to ensure they were satisfied with their meal. Unfortunately, some of the male staff seemed to be less eager to serve non-Caucasian guests, which was disappointing and made the experience feel less welcoming. I also want to give a special mention to Chitra at reception. I arrived early, and she went out of her way to accommodate me, even managing to arrange an early check-in. She also informed me about the late check-out benefit available to IHG members, which the other male receptionist had not explained when he simply rejected my request. Overall, the hotel is somewhat pricey, but the breakfast and service (especially from Erica and Chitra) made up for some of the other shortcomings.

The hotel offers a generally pleasant stay, but there were a few issues during my visit. The building was very cold on all floors, likely due to a malfunctioning central heater. I also noticed visible signs of wear and tear, particularly water hardness corrosion on the showerhead. Although I requested some utensils for personal use, they were never provided. Additionally, there was no complimentary water or toiletries (toothbrush/paste) available. On a positive note, the food at the restaurant was exceptional—delicious and full of flavor!

Great experience. No issues. Pool and gym was great as well.

As good as always, clean and tidy, the front desk is very polite, the breakfast is very good, the service aunt is very nice, I stayed there for 2 days and felt very comfortable

The hotel is in a good location, 🈶bus, tram, supermarkets and dollar stores nearby, many small commodities are worth recommending. The air conditioner in the room is too noisy, it is installed indoors. The soundproofing of the room is not very good. There is a strange smell in the corridor.

The hotel looks like what it should be. The hygiene is OK, at least the sheets look new. The bathroom is small, and the washbasin is very compact, so you can't put anything. The room has a balcony door, but there is no balcony. The door can't be opened, which is understandable for safety. Kitchener is a very small town. King St. is the main street. This hotel is at an 11th intersection at the south end of this main street, next to a tram station. As for food, this town may have better pizza and hamburgers. Anyway, I ate at a Vietnamese rice noodle restaurant with a rating of 4.3. I regret it. I guess there are few choices so the rating is high.

Good location, good service. Good location, good service. Good location, good service. Good location, good service. Good location, good service. Good location, good service. Good location, good service. Good location, good service.

There is a trolleybus stop at the entrance of the hotel, the traffic is very convenient, the room is small, and the front desk is very friendly. The hotel is connected to the parking building. Although there is a fee, it is still very convenient. The restaurant on the first floor of the hotel has enough portions, the price is not expensive, and the taste is relatively average

The room provided by the hotel is very large with twin beds. There are actually two double beds. It is very comfortable, the sheets are clean, and the price is cheap. I recommend friends who go to the airport to stay. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel.

The area between the parking building and the hotel was leaky, and it was raining very badly. The problem was that I couldn't check in, I didn't have a room card, and I couldn't enter the side door. It was a terrible thing. Parking fee, small room

The hotel environment is very good, in the city center

Nice room, stayed for two nights.

Satisfactory travel
