After a long line to check-in (only 2 ppl working the desk), a stressful check-in process, I finally got up to the room which was clean and roomy. Usual wear and rear which I notified the manager about. For the whole check-in scene, I was presented with a free coffee voucher from Starbucks.

All-in-all, the big gripe I have is that this particular Intercontinental has all sorts of crazy charges. Breakfast - gotta pay. Use the gym/pool/tech room - all for $15. Yeah, $15 is nothing, but I didn't even use any of those facilities! No parking lot that is not valet. EXPENSIVE metered parking across the street.

Stay at one of the boutique hotels. Just as much luxe, more bang for the buck.
