Crowne Plaza Hotel LaGuardia Airport

The LaGuardia Crowne Plaza isn't the world's nicest hotel, but it was thoroughly normal, which is more than I can say for the other hotels out by LaGuardia. For $133 / night, to get clean sheets, a spacious room, a decent showerhead, and a nonsmoking room when I requested one is all I could want. The room was one notch above standard chain hotel fare. The bed wasn't "heavenly," but it wasn't as hard as, say, a Comfort Inn or Holiday Inn. The decor was a little nicer, too, with something almost like a duvet on the bed rather than an... more

Over New Year's 2006, we stayed at this property and found it to be a steal. While it was not ritzy or glitzy, we paid $119 a night in Queens while others paid $300+ a night in Manhattan. We flew into LaGuardia and the hotel is 2 blocks away. The area is not the prettiest but it gave us a good look at another neighborhood outside of NYC. The airport shuttle was convenient and the hotel was located 1 block from a bus stop that took us to pick up the #7 train into Manhattan. Our room was big and located on the 7th floor (Executive... more

I chose this hotel for its location to LaGuardia airport as I was flying out early in the AM. Yes, one thing the hotel has that's positive is the location. After that, it's downhill. The entire place is in need of a refurbishment. The room smelled, badly even for a smoking room and this was on the excecutive level. No mini-bar, no broadband, well what's the point especially at an airport hotel where there's little else to do. Next time, if there is a next time I will try the Marriott across the street.

Stayed at Crowne Plaza last weekend, and was disappointed. This is not a four star property, and the amenities are certainly not appropriate to that level. My husband and I ordered room service Saturday morning and asked that the table be sent up. The room service staff was very rude and told me there were no trays available, as they had not been collected from the rooms the night before!! The front desk offered us breakfast on the 7th floor, which was a nice gesture, but is continental on the weekend. The next morning we called room... more

I stayed at this hotel for a friend's wedding in May. I should first point out the good points -- the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. They did resolve most problems quickly and expediently. Also the hotel is situated straight across from the LaGuardia airport, as in you can see travellers getting out of their cars and into the terminal from your room. But there was absolutely no noise. The bar had great service and excellent food. Also they have free wireless access! Now for the problems. The hotel is very rundown,... more

Well, I ended up opting for a room on the Exec floor (7th floor) for $120/night through a corporate rate. I've stayed at other hotels in the area (Wyndham) which is a total dump compared to the Crowne. I didn't expect much from this considering the price but the staff at the desk was friendly and because the parking lot was full, they allowed me to leave my car in a no parking zone 50ft from the enterance...considering it was 13 degrees outside, that was good! :) The room was very clean and larger than I expected, the bed was very... more

After staying here I can see where some would love this place while others hate it. When new I'm sure this was a 4 star hotel. This is no longer the case. Almost everything above the ground floor could benefit from a fresh coat of paint and new carpeting. It's just not unbearable yet. I'd recommend this hotel if you're looking for a clean & inexpensive place to stay but would not for anyone expecting 4-star accomodations.

The prior negative reviews of this property had me concerned. Upon arrival we found a pleasant surprise. Pros: Distance from LaGuardia - 5 minute cab ride or free shuttle ride to LaGuardia. Large room size Large bathroom size and ample counterspace Plenty of fluffy towels and bathrobes Pool area Restaurant ambiance Club lounge (7th floor) food was exceptional Staff was helpful and housekeepers always spoke happily in the hallway In room fridges (on request) Cons: Distance from... more

Stayed in the hotel early september. The employees were on strike. The service was terrible. Had to change rooms 4 time and still the room was not any good. The A/C in one was not working. The door in the other was borken and would not close. The other rooms were not clean the sheets were dirty and the bathroom was not cleaned. This was a nightmare. I will never stay at a Crown Plaza again. Poor management.

I used to work for a Crowne Plaza in Ohio so I know that these are one of the premier brands of the Holiday Inn company. The LaGuardia property is a disaster. There is currently a labor strike at the hotel. You will find a large inflateable rat outside the entrance, along with a tape recording repeating "Crowne Plaza on strike!" over and over again. The hotel staff at the front desk and the gift shop are beyond rude, they are downright mean. Upon realizing she had given me incorrect change, an employee at the hotel gift shop came... more
