Okay hotel
This property is very nice, however, there is a long road from a good hotel to a great one, and Intercontinental is just a good one. We move here from Novotel and stayed 4 nights starting 7/1/05. The hotel, as it was mentioned many times, is well located, walking distance to the old town, banks, shopping and restaurants. This is a big place, 26 floors I believe, 2 restaurants, shops, spa and lots more. The restaurants appeared to us upscale and overpriced, so we decided to eat down the street at many of the great restaurants of the old town. We got a room on the 18th floor with a view of an interior brick wall plus the window of an adjacent room. Our room was clean, the furniture was nice, and the bed was comfortable. Good size bathroom but in great need of a renovation. The wallpaper was pealing in a couple of places, the shower head was shooting water in all directions and the tub plug was hard to keep it open, I took all my showers in ankle deep water. Nice toiletries though. The concierge desk staff was professional but unfriendly. They shove a bad Xeroxed copy of Montreal in your face and mark where you want to go. The front desk people were the same, short and to the point, no unnecessary smiles or pleasantries. As I mention, this is a nice hotel in a great area that anyone should consider for a business or pleasure trip.
