Frommer's Review
The Crowne Plaza offers solid, generic, well-located, business-traveler-oriented accommodations. It's popular with conventioneers and relocating executives, and prices are competitive in an effort to maintain occupancy. The lobby, which dispenses coffee and apples all day, has entrances from both 18th Street and the garage, and is just a hop and skip from the restaurants, bars, and shops around Rittenhouse Square. A parking garage and meeting halls occupy the next six floors, and rooms and several suites fill the next 17 floors. By Philadelphia standards, the rooms are large, although the bathrooms tend on the smaller side. Two floors are devoted to executive level suites, offering upgraded decor and complimentary breakfast. There is an espresso bar and a forgettable pub on the lobby level.
Facilities:
Restaurant; outdoor pool; 24-hr. fitness room w/rowing and Nautilus machines; Jacuzzi

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
