A Quiet Treasure. We absolutely love this hotel. The staff are very accomadating. It is very quiet and clean and close to Clear Water Bay. This is a great location and price if you are traveling with kids and a small family. The bonus is the breakfast buffet held at the Crowne Plaza. The staff there are amazing and work hard to please and feed you. They offered espresso, lattes, scrambled eggs, veal sausages, Chinese chicken buns, fried rice, lomein, every day was a different congee soup with different toppings along with salad, yogurt, fruit, pastries, milk, soy, juices and bread. I was able to eat nicely vegetarian. Its not your standard Holiday Inn American breakfast. The room is clean modern and up to date. It is connected to a mall and the metro and bus terminal. We took the bus here which is an adventure and highly recommend. Download Open Rice app to find local HK food. We traveled to HK city local bus, train and taxi and all were exciting and an adventure. We were glad to stay here and not in HK city. It is quieter, cleaner and little more relaxing. The bus takes longer but super cheap. We bought round trip tickets for 3 on the bus, City Flyer for $163 HK which is like $20 USD. Take A29 bus to PO Lam station metro train, I may msp but it is the last stop and then take train to Tseung Kwan O station which opens at Popcorn Mall and you can walk right through mall to hotel. There is an information desk that can help you once you enter mall. Very friendly helpful people. The best part of hotel is the Green Terrace. A very relaxing area to lounge and for kids to play outside and is on 8th floor. My daughter fell on Terrace and the staff took care of her nicely. I cant emphasize enough the excellent service.
