This is definitely not what I expect when I visit an Intercontinental. Extremely noisy, I could hear everything outside in the hallway and my neighbors having loud sex all night (both nights). Shower faucet was faulty, making it so that you can only take an extremely hot shower (like scalding, dangerous hot), or cold shower, no in-between. So I took cold showers. The staff were pleasant enough and most were trying to do a good job, 1 or 2 were just rude to not the least bit helpful. The hotel room was dirty, especially the bathroom, a deep-cleaning is badly needed. The walls had a bunch of dings, which made me concerned as I didn't spend much time in the room until I woke up my first day there, which was when I noticed a bunch of them. I took pictures of everything because I didn't want to be blamed for any of them. Would I stay here again? If they did a deep-cleaning, remodel, maybe. The location isn't bad but when you have some other amazing hotels in the city, it'd be hard to come back. I'm sure the hotel has seen greater days. But this weekend was not one of them. I didn't get a chance to see the pool, but to be honest, after seeing the bathroom in my room, it kind of killed that desire for me. Which is a shame, because it got really hot that day and I remembered I had the pool at the hotel, but then I remembered my bathroom and thought, "well, nevermind." Overall, you get what you pay for. Not the best, not the worst, but definitely relying on the name at this point.
