I had a pleasant stay at Crowne Plaza Coogee Beach. The location was perfect for my plans, right by the coast. While the rooms were comfortable, they definitely need some love in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. The friendly staff made me feel welcome, but the breakfast could have been better. Overall, a nice stay but with some areas that need improvement.

My stay had its ups and downs. The hotel has a great location with easy access to the beach and local attractions. I appreciated the efforts of the staff, who were helpful in arranging my early check-in. However, the room situation was frustrating, with noise from conference guests and a smell that was quite unpleasant. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay, but there are definitely some areas for improvement.

I was disappointed with the room. It only offered a glimpse of the ocean instead of a proper view, and it had a foul smell. We also had to wait two hours to be moved to a different room, and our luggage was left unattended in an open area, which made me feel uneasy.

The hotel has a great location, just steps away from Coogee Beach, perfect for morning walks along the promenade. The rooms are spacious, clean, and up-to-date, but there was a slight issue with bathroom cleanliness upon check-in. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to accommodate us, especially for our kids. Dining options were nice, especially the buffet breakfast, but some items could be improved. Overall, it’s a solid value for money, just a few minor areas to address.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with beautifully appointed rooms that were exceptionally clean and comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The location was wonderful, directly across from Coogee beach, making it easy to experience Sydney like a local. However, there were some downsides, such as the dining experience being less than ideal with limited breakfast options and some outdated service in the restaurant.
