I spent two nights at the Intercontinental on a trip combining business and leisure. I chose the hotel for its central location and for the good rate I could get.
I would say that the hotel is really a matter of taste. My room was fairly nice although a bit oldfashioned and faded. However, everything was very clean - and the bathroom was nice and modern. I just had one single very small window though which made the room look quite dark.
The swimming pool is beautiful and large (although the decoration there may also be a matter of taste).
In general, I didn't find staff as friendly and welcoming as in other hotels. My room had not been cleaned at 2pm (although I left it around 9am) and I had to call housekeeping to remind them! In-room dining was a bit slow as well although the quality of the food was good. Staff at the fitness center were very polite.
All in all, I would only recommend the hotel if you can get a good price - and some people may really love its style as well.
