Highly NOT recommended
Imagine that after 13 hours of flight and 2 hours at the airport going through immigration and customs, you arrive after a 45 minute cab ride in New York City and enter your hotel room. A room in a supposedly 5 star hotel. You enter the room that hasn't been renovated since 1960, with the most tacky decoration. A room overlooking grey cement... You then enter the bathroom (which is as small as possible) and realize that there are stains of urine on the toilet seat!!! You are appalled and feel like throwing up. You go to the reception and complain. Do you know what the answer at the Intercontinental hotel in N.Y. will be? "OK, we can clean the room". Nothing else! Not even an apology! I couldn't wait for the evening to end before I could switch to a proper, clean and hospitable hotel. After this experience, the only thing I can say is: stay anywhere else in NYC BUT the intercontinental. It is a shame for the chain to have this hotel under its label.
