I *wish* I had booked elsewhere. Having been at the Intercontinental now [in this reported to be 5 star property] for almost 3 days now I will tell you this, it is not deserving of more than 4.
Why?
1- Two women finish eating & leave their breakfast table next to me this morning. Staff examines their napkins, deems them sufficiently clean, refolds, and places them back on table. Nice!
2- Swimming pool access- is from guest room out via 3rd floor. So what, you say? This just happens to be down three flights of a metal fire exit stairway. How posh!
3- Room Service: Called for an additional bathrobe. Arrival time- 60+minutes. Missing room service menu. Arrival time: 30+ minutes.
Rm. Svc. Food: ordered Singapore style rice noodle with Seafood Bisque. Taste: soup, just like out of a can. Singapore style noodles: weren't rice noodle at all, but pasta and not curried.
4-Noise: amazingly thin walls- Telephone in the room next door was loud enough to wake me. Noise from door, floor and walls is coming right through.
5- Bathroom- so tiny the toilet butts up to and is tucked under the sink a tad. My 6'2" head has all of 2" to clear shower ceiling.
Not! the 5 star experience I was expecting. This, a five star experience? Thanks, but I've had three stars that were better.
