Short
version:
This
is
a
not-inexpensive
hotel
at
a
pretty
good
location.
Objectively,
we
had
a
very
middling
experience
-
but
going
by
the
prices
they
quote,
it
was
an
underwhelming
stay
and
I
wouldn't
recommend
this
property
at
all.
Outside
of
the
Intercontinental's
dining
areas,
there
were
exactly
two
staff
members
who
were
polite
and
courteous
-
the
gentleman
who
first
checked
us
in
(manually,
because
their
systems
were
down),
and
the
elderly
luggage
handling
gent
at
the
door.
The
rest
were
distracted,
slow
and
more
involved
in
personal
conversations
than
being
attentive
to
customers.
Rooms
are
large
and
spacious,
but
with
bare
walls
and
old
carpeting
(a
shame
how
evident
the
age
and
staining
is).
The
washrooms
weren't
cleaned
properly
when
we
arrived
and
the
TVs
are
old
models
(no
smart
functions,
they
just
get
local/cable
stations).
Dining
is
a
mixed
experience
-
some
of
the
food
is
exquisite,
but
the
rest
is
little
better
than
street
fare.
If
you
happen
to
catch
one
of
the
nicer
members
of
staff
(some
were
downright
rude),
they
will
take
care
of
you
and
customise
orders
(vegetarian
food
from
back
home,
etc)
-
you'll
generally
have
a
good
experience.
Non
veg
food
is
plentiful
and
generally
well
cooked,
but
nothing
on
the
buffet
offerings
was
particularly
exotic
or
couldn't
be
found
at
a
food
cart
in
a
little
park
some
distance
away.
Their
a
la
carte
(at
least
at
the
lobby
level,
for
some
reason
their
club
floor
at
26
was
almost
never
accessible)
offerings
were
sparse
and
their
staff
made
us
wait
fifteen
minutes
at
a
table
and
then
asked
us
to
move
to
another
section
before
we
could
even
discuss
the
menu.
When
we
finally
got
to
see
it
(advertised
as
multi-cuisine,
food
from
x,y,z
countries
online),
the
menu
would've
barely
made
the
cut
for
a
local
cafe.
Oh
well.
Their
gym
is
reasonably
well
appointed.
One
can
even
bench
if
one
so
pleases,
though
with
limited
options
to
scale.
That
said,
they
don't
staff
the
gym
with
anyone
-
let
alone
a
trainer
-
and
other
patrons
(are
allowed
to?)
bring
very
young
kids
along
-
not
particularly
safe
or
quiet.
In
summary,
I'd
say
your
money
and
time
are
better
spent
at
a
different
property.
We
are
definitely
not
staying
here
again.
