Nice place, modern and very well located
I stayed at the Intercontinental Times Square over one night, for a business meeting. The first room I was assigned was on the 17th floor, facing the street. The room itself was very nice: Large TV, generous size working desk, a decent size bathroom with walk-in shower. All seemed new and clean. However, if you are sensitive to noise, you will find the street-facing rooms somewhat loud as the windows are not sealing off the traffic noise. This is mid-town NYC so noise is somewhat expected if you choose to stay right in the middle of it... But perhaps better windows would have done a better job with this. I called the front desk and within minutes was moved to another room, which they said was "facing the river". The river could not be seen but the noise was gone and I was very happy. All in all, I really liked this hotel - had a good night sleep in a modern hotel with an unbeatable location, if midtown NYC is where you want to be.
