Crowne Plaza Hotel Moncton Downtown by IHG
Jacuzzi and steam room across from the Avenir Centre
About this hotel
Crowne Plaza Hotel Moncton Downtown sits across the street from the Avenir Centre, with self-contained air conditioning, pillowtop beds, a 50-inch flatscreen TV and a large working desk in every tastefully decorated room. The large indoor pool, jacuzzi and steam room stand out on this strip, alongside a 24-hour fitness centre for a parent keeping a routine going between slide days at Magic Mountain. Bâton Rouge Grillhouse and Bar serves on site, and a short stroll along the Petitcodiac River leads to Tidal Bore Park, the Resurgo Museum and Capitol Theatre. Magic Mountain, Magnetic Hill Zoo, Hopewell Rocks, Fundy National Park and Parlee Beach all sit within a short driving distance, making the downtown tower a genuine base for the whole trip rather than a stop built purely around the water park itself.

Our take
Crowne Plaza suits a family that wants the fullest wellness package downtown has to offer, jacuzzi and steam room included, plus a family room and an on-site restaurant for evenings that do not call for another drive. It sits a genuine drive from Magic Mountain rather than walking distance, so pair it with a family that values the downtown evening as much as the daytime slides.
- ✓Book the jacuzzi and steam room into the evening routine; it is the fullest wellness set-up on this strip after a day of slides.
- ✓Eat at Bâton Rouge Grillhouse at least once rather than driving downtown again after a tiring day out at Magic Mountain.
- ✓Walk the Petitcodiac River path to Tidal Bore Park on a rest day instead of driving out to the water park for a change of pace.

Why guests love itWe used the jacuzzi every evening after Magic Mountain, and the steam room became the trip's real highlight for the adults once the kids were settled with the flatscreen TV in the family room. Bâton Rouge Grillhouse handled two dinners without another drive, and the walk to Tidal Bore Park on our rest day gave us a proper break from the highway before heading back out to slides.
