Good hotel in decent location
Wasn't overwhelmed by the Intercontinental brand here in San Francisco, wouldn't really rate it much above the Holiday Inn experience elsewhere.
Got a high up room, with a view to the South which was quite interesting. The room wasn't quite as big as I had expected for a pretty new looking Intercontinental. 
It's a good hotel, the location isn't perfect, the street it's situated on isn't the nicest and can feel just a little uncomfortable when returning late at night. Could do with being perhaps one block closer to Union Square.
Other than that however, I had few complaints. Didn't bother with breakfast as it was pricey and there are plenty of places locally where you can get something quick, cheap and tasty. 
The wifi was good when it stayed connected, but tended to kick you out every five minutes or so. When mentioned on check out however, the price was removed from my bill and this was appreciated. One wonders why, on a not-cheap hotel rate, they bother charging extra for it anyway. I know that many Intercontinental guests will be business travellers and perhaps less bopthered about the overall cost of their stay, but to the rest of the clientele it just seems a little dated, charging for internet. Nevertheless, I didn't pay. 
Overall, happy with my stay. Well located for much that SF has to offer, and the Intercontinental name generally guarantees a good level of service, which it did.
