METRO: Upon exiting the Metro, you have 2 choices -

(1) Proceed from the top of the first set of escalators, walk straight ahead to the second set of escalators, you take up to street level. You now are at S. Bell and 18th Street, at the Metro Bus platform; either turn north (left) and walk the 'long' block along S. Bell to 15th St and cross; OR
Walk 1 block East/towards the airport to Crystal Drive (recommended) and then turn left and walk north 3 blocks along the sidewalk. You cross 15th St and the Crowne Plaza is the first building.

(2) Good for BAD WEATHER: at the top of the first set of escalators, walk 10 yards forward and turn right into the Crystal Underground, now walk in the maze of tunnels following signs for "12th Street"; after checking several direction signs and walking through the multi-flowered tunnels, you will exit to street level by walking up a 50 yard ramp; proceed another 10 yards, turn right into the "Jefferson Plaza" entry doors, pass through sets of several doors, the Crowne Plaza will be RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU across their entry drive.
