This is a lovely lovely hotel. Spotlessly clean. Lovely bathroom, excellent facilities. The indoor pool is awesome. We had dinner in the adjoining Bistro. Aura. The food was delicious and the hostess Patricia was a treasure. So polite, helpful and friendly. We spent 18 days touring America from the West Coast to the East Coast, this was easily the best...

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel very much. The beds were very comfortable with enough pillows and towels. We also enjoyed the indoor swimming pool where towels are provided on each chair and table on the pool side. Unfortunately, our 4-year-old son has got a febrile seizure and we had to call an ambulance, but the hotel clerk kindly... More

I've stayed at the Crowne Plaza on several different occasions, most recently in May of 2013. It seems to be an older hotel but it appears to have had upgrades. It's not 5-star by any stretch but it is a decent lodging value in the Cleveland area. The I-77/Rockside Road interchange area is convenient and it is great in that... More

I recently stayed at this hotel as part of my son's basketball team. It was a pleasant surprise. The rooms were larger than expected (probably because the hotel is older). The bathroom was very small. The room decor was very nice. The pool was nice but the hot tub was not hot. The hotel has a nice outdoor pool but... More

I would really give this hotel 3 1/2 stars if it was available. Very good is an overstatement! I was there for a seminar, so the rates were very good and the hotel was packed.

The Crown Plaza in Independence Ohio is now under New Management. You will notice many new changes around the property both inside and out. Looks fabulous depending which way your room faces you can see Downtown Cleveland which is beautiful in the night sky when they light up Terminal Tower.

I booked our trip through Hotwire.com ~ I have never done this before, I was very skeptical about doing that- I always research every hotel and check the reviews before I make any reservations.
