My stay at Crowne Plaza Glasgow was quite a mixed experience. While the location was fantastic, overlooking the River Clyde, and the staff were consistently friendly and accommodating. I did face some challenges with the executive lounge being overcrowded and the cleanliness in my room wasn't up to par. Overall, the amenities and service provided a decent stay, though some improvements are needed.
