Disappointing Experience at Crowne Plaza Madinah
Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with my stay at Crowne Plaza Madinah. Considering the hotel’s brand and price, I expected a much higher standard.
The toilet amenities were more like what I would expect from a 2- or 3-star budget hotel. The beds were also quite small and felt similar to those in a budget hotel. The cleaning service was another major disappointment. For two days, the staff did not properly clean or even wash our kettle.
Our room had only one cupboard, which was inconvenient. On the first day, slippers were provided, but during the following two days, they were not replaced or provided again.
I have stayed at a Crowne Plaza hotel in Xiamen, China, and the difference was huge. Compared with my experience there, the Madinah property felt like poor value for money.
Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. I hope the management takes these issues seriously and improves the housekeeping, room amenities, bed quality, and overall maintenance. With better attention to these details, the hotel could provide a much better experience for its guests.
