Room was spotless and staff was friendly yet professional. Oceanside view was lovely and everything in the room was clean, fresh, inviting, ND relaxing. Only ding is that my room did not have a microwave for popping popcorn. lol

Crowne Plaza Melbourne - Oceanfront by IHG
Room very comfortable, especially the bed! Unfortunately, visiting from Canada only to be warmer in Canada than Florida during my stay kinda sucked, as I didn't swim once. Great location for exploring all over the Atlantic coast. I recommend this hotel
