General Comments

Stayed in a few hotels in Dubai on business recently and the Dubai Crowne Plaza was the most disappointing, so much so I'm writing this! The hotel boasts five stars and the facilities available certainly support that rating. But what the hotel really lacks is atmosphere. The entrance to the hotel is set off (on the wrong foot) by 2 enormous 3 story escalators up to the lobby, which is large and spacious but just lacks any kind of character.
The staff are professional, but not welcoming or particularly friendly.
The pool is a good size but often not enough loungers for the number of people. Also the service/food at the pool bar is terrible (ordered 2 meals here and never even got one of them and the other was just terrible - I mean who uses chicken PASTE on a club sandwich??).
This hotel certianly serves it's purpose, but for the money there are better places to stay. I'd recommend the Towers Rotana, about 800M down the road. You loose a star and save some money but this hotel has real character. Great food (Teatro highly recommended), a good pool and after 3 days of staying there, the staff know your name!
