We had a pleasant stay at Crowne Plaza. We opted for river facing room and the view was amazing. The rooms were spacious, however, bathrooms did not have a door lock which was a bit inconvenient with the kids. The other major negative point was the pool. Although it was a rooftop pool and advertised at 28°C temperature was maintained. However, when I tried to swim, the temperature was extremely cold, I could barely take a dip and the kids just stayed out. This happened for two days and thus was not able to utilize this .
To mention , enjoyed the pool in other hotel stays across Melbourne which were properly maintained at 28°C.
