When my son and I checked in initially at 10:30pm, there was live entertainment in the hotel lobby which was very loud and many adults wandering around with drinks in hand, etc. This is fine if noise level is not intrusive into customers' rooms. We were given room, which was not only the size of a matchbook, but was obviously right over the entertainment in the lobby. Sleeping would have been out of the question. I angrily went back to the desk and asked them how dare they rent out such a room to anyone, especially when they saw my son was with me and sleep was important for a sports event he had the next day. Even though they told me they had no rooms, I was not budging and somehow they found another room. One should expect to be able to sleep when one checks into a hotel, no matter what the fee is. The room we were in had highly variable water supply in the shower, from not getting warm enough, to being burned. New decor, old pipes. I called to ask someone to come look at it when we would be out the next day, but no one ever came. Maid never came to straighten room until 5 pm at which time we were back at room and showering to go out to eat. I have not seen my final bill yet, so I am not sure what they charged me for this room.
Positives: Good location, nice rooms.
Negatives: Although rooms newly decorated, plumbing is a problem.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 21 May 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
Beautiful hotel; looked like it had been recently updated. Warm wood and romantic main level with fire going in the fireplace. Marble entrance with welcoming staff.
Positives: Convenience to the Plaza and I loved the interior of the main level.
Negatives: Valet parking was $17/night.

Intercontinental Hotel-excellent location on the Plaza. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The room had all the conveniences that we wanted along with good privacy for sleeping, watching TV etc.
Positives: The beds were best-very comfortable; the room had all the conveniences we wanted and the location was excellent.
Negatives: Took a long time for the water to turn hot for the shower.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 18 Apr 2008 rated 1 out of 10.
They also made us feel like we were charged for every minor thing, and at a nice hotel, some amenities should be part of the price you pay, but in this regard, the Intercontinental was more like the Budget Hotel or Holiday Inn.
Positives: It was pretty.
Negatives: It was a complete nickel and dimming establishment. Staff unhelpful.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 24 Mar 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
Overall, great hotel and although we had hot water issues, we look forward to the next stay.
Positives: We enjoyed the entertainment in the restaurant and the courtesy of the staff. Great view of the Plaza.
Negatives: The water in the room took a little too long to get hot for the shower.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 20 Mar 2008 rated 7 out of 10.
The plush lobby makes a great first impression, but that charm doesn't carry over to the other areas of the hotel. Stay here for the convenient location, but don't expect exceptional service from the staff.
Positives: Close to shopping/dining.
Negatives: Concierge service was weak.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 07 Aug 2007 rated 8 out of 10.
This hotel was a great place for a romantic weekend. Right across the street from the Famous Country Club Plaza. Room was a good size, with a nice reading chair and a great King Sized Bed. The bed was a little too hard and the pillows were a little too soft, but other than that it was a wonderful stay!!!
Positives: The location was wonderful, right across the street from the World Famous Country Club Plaza.
Negatives: The Beds were somewhat hard.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 02 Aug 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

The Intercontinental is a wonderful hotel and conveniently located on The Plaza, close to shopping, dining, entertainment. The staff at the hotel was very helpful. However, our room had not been updated. Also, the hotel was very full that weekend and our room was not cleaned properly, nor were there any towels left.
Positives: The location on the Plaza is superb!
Negatives: The guest rooms need updated/remodeled.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 25 Jul 2007 rated 7 out of 10.
Nice hotel, great location, good view of pool/plaza, friendly and accommodating staff. Shower handle was broken, TV armoire doors wouldn't stay open, room service food was horrible, and rooms could use some updating.
Positives: Location; friendly, accommodating staff.
Negatives: Room service food was terrible, shower handle broken, rooms outdated.
