Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury Valley by IHG

Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury Valley by IHG

8/10 Good
"Like: - Beautiful area for the breakfast buffet and great selection of food! - We booked the king room for 2 adults and 1 child 10 yrs old. They put in an extra bed w/o being asked. - Indoor heated pool n spa were great but the pool is tiny and can get pretty busy. - Microwave in room - Gave free drinks for bday - 10% discount on food for ihg members - Beautiful grounds -Comfortable bed Don't like: - The name is a bit misleading. The hotel is in Windsor and will still take about an hour to drive up to Wiseman's Ferry/the Hawkesbury river area. - Tennis court run down n unmaintained - Aside from pool n tennis court, not much for older kids. Under 18s not allowed to play billiards. - Only regular channels, no netflix or cable channels."
