I love the design of this hotel. There were events going on so didn’t want to intrude much walking through the courtyard but it was different and very cool. We like to enjoy a pool when we stay places, which this pool is very small but there are not many pool options in the area so it was ok. Overall the hotel seemed well kept and the staff was very friendly. Location was only 15 mins from downtown as well. There are also food options on site as well, but we did not need them for this stay.

Acknowledging great service

Banquet Staff member, Sophia, worked her heart out to please us all at the UUP Spring 2025 DA that was hosted at the lovely Crowne Plaza/Desmond Hotel. Highly recommend this place and want to acknowledge Sophia for her dedicated work ethic and professionalism! Way to go Sophia!

We had a very enjoyable stay! Everything was very clean, staff were accommodating and friendly. We very much enjoyed the hotel restaurant for both dinner and brunch the next morning. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because I felt the bed was pretty uncomfortable. We forgot a couple of items when we left, and the hotel staff was helpful in finding them and holding them til a family member could pick them up for us. Thank you for making our weekend enjoyable! We will be back!

Everything was fantastic EXCEPT for the beds… which is why you book a hotel. The beds were so soft it was like sleeping in a bowl. The sizes were somewhat firm in the middle was so soft that gravity extended to pull everyone into the center of the bed… no support PLUS you are crammed together so that every move of or partner wakes the others. It’s a shame because other than that this place was stellar.

The hotel is nice but it is very old. I think we had a very old room the carpet was very dirty. But in general the rest was ok.

Excellent location
