...between the Marriott and the Crowne Plaza. We chose the Crowne Plaze because last time we stayed at the Marriott it was very busy and we didn't fancy a hectic weekend.
We got a good deal for the 3 night stay - £159 for a room, bed and breakfast with dinner on the first night for the first two nights, and £69.50 b&b for the third night. Just about the same price as the Marriott but with dinner thrown in.
The hotel is ... ...now 13 years old and showing its age just a little. The reception, lobby and central stairway to a first floor lounge, however, are quite welcoming and spectacular - makes you feel that the hotel is a bit special.
Our room which was just a standard on the fourth floor was good, roomy with a king size bed - not much to look at out of the windows just the Yorkshire Post building and passing motorway.

The staff at the hotel were good, welcoming and clearly well trained - they dealt with my wifes dietary requirements with no problem at all.
We ate in the restaurant on the first night and the meal was excellent, good choice, well cooked and presented, properly served and tasted delicious. My only disappointment was the price of the wine - £32.00 for a bottle of Sancerre - it was the most expensive on the list but as the meal was in the price of the room - you have to take advantage!!
Breakfast was good too - plenty of choice both cooked and continental.
We had hoped for a reasonably quite weekend but the place was very popular with families over the Easter break - one of the staff told us there were 35 families booked in on one of the nights, and they were making full use of the facilities - the indoor swimming pool was busy all the time we were there and my wife had to resort to a 7.00am swim to beat the crowds!
The hotel is also a little way out of the centre of Leeds - 10 minute walk - but nevertheless we felt it was a decent 4* hotel, well managed and run and reasonable value for money, certainly worth considering the next time we are in Leeds.
Advantages: close to city centre, comfort, facilities, price (teletext offer) Disadvantages: mid week prices
...the normal rate for a Crowne Plaza, but the teletext offer is more than reasonable), and we arrived on the Friday afternoon ready to enjoy ourselves.
We checked in, had a coffee from the stock in the room, and went down to the leisure suite for a swim, sauna and jacuzzi...really relaxing!
Then we did it all again!
After that we went up to the bar and had a lovely capuccino and people watched.Interesting! After a hectic night out in the nearby ... ...(again) and breakfasted. SUPER food and wonderfully presented..makes you want to try everything. And after an afternoon shopping for England, we made the most of the satellite television and bathroom facilities, getting ready to hit the city again. When we went home on the Sunday afternoon, we felt as though we'd been away for a week to somewhere a long way from the families. It was very relaxing and I'll be doing it again!
I recommend this hotel! ...

Advantages: Great restaurants around, walking distance of all amenities Disadvantages: The mini bar
...get good discount on the Crowne Plaza. When we arrived, late at night and tired, the staff were friendly and helpful. We made our way to our room and it was above standard, providing everything we needed and was clean. Due to the fact we arrived late we orded a pizza for delivery to the hotel - the staff were fine with this. The breakfast was lovely and again staff were very accomadating when my boyfriend asked for his eggs to be done a different ... ...which may have worked out for the best as there were a few Christmas work parties being held in the hotel. The sauna,swimming pool and steam room were lovely, and were included in the price. The steam room was particulary nice as it had ambient lights and music.
Going back to the cons - the mini bar - be careful, everytime you take something out of the bar - just to look at and put it back - you will be charged! Something to do with a kind of electronic ...
