I didn’t like anything at intercontinental hotel I was so disappointed. The corridor smells bad, the carpet is dirty you can see it. The bathtub was very dirty you can see it wasn’t cleaned properly, the white bath mat had black stains. I had to wear my flip flops to have a shower. Breakfast meals where terrible and the gym equipments needs replacement, treadmills belts are worn out they need change. Intercontinental hotel is just brand not quality. It’s expensive from nothing just brand. Don’t book there, don’t book for brand book for quality.
