Crowne Plaza Phoenix - Chandler Golf Resort, an IHG Hotel (Chandler, USA)

The hotel is situated in an excellent location, just a short walk from Chandler and, as such, is close to restaurants, shops, art galleries, nightlife and museums. It is also close to major highways and easily accessible.

The resort boasts a huge range of facilities to keep guests content during their stay. Whether you're a fan of swimming, lounging, playing golf or something a little more active, there is something for everyone. Guests love the 'quiet zone', where guests can enjoy peace and quiet.

Built in 1912, the hotel is a charming, historic spot. The grounds are extensive and well-cared for, there is plenty of parking and the architecture is unique. For most, Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort & Hotel represents a refreshing change from soulless modern hotels.

The resort boasts an understated sophistication and the common areas are stunning. For some, going from the lobby to the rooms is cause for disappointment as some of the suites are outdated. Other rooms have been subject to a recent refurbishment programme.

Being an older property, it will come as no surprise that maintenance issues do arise from time to time. Previous guests have mentioned problems with plumbing, air conditioning and the lift, although, most suggest that staff manage issues promptly as they occur.

While some will love that the hotel enjoys sprawling grounds; with plenty of space to find your own spot to relax, others find that everything is a walk away. This may be an issue for those with mobility problems, but there are 'accessible' rooms and guests can request rooms closer to the main entrance.
