Crowne Plaza Vientiane, an IHG Hotel

Ting was one our bartenders & server that we can remember. He was very friendly & always smiled with service. Mott was also another server & bartender. She was very personable & made us feel welcomed. Each day when we see them at the main floor bar & outside patio, we know we'll always have excellent service as soon as we look up for it. Overall the hotel was very nice & service was excellent. But they should've just removed the dirty carpets in the rooms & hallways. Food & breakfast buffet options were also great. Nothing is better than comfort Asian soups & dishes. Just be prepared to have transportation to go anywhere nearby. We tried to walk to the Night Market & the restaurants nearby along the Mekong River. It was like playing Frogger to cross safely as there really aren't any crosswalk signs that worked. Even more difficult when inebriated. Fortunately we had several local family & friends that were able to drive us around. The hotel also provides a ride to nearby at a cost of $20. We would stay there again if we returned to Laos.
