Our Review of the Intercontinental Hotel Miami
By traveltripz on Jul 10, 2007 in Miami, USA
During our stay in Miami we stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel in Chopin Plaza which was the ideal location for us. We received a great rate as part of the conference we were attending so it turned out to only be about $120 per night.
We checked in at about 4pm. Check-in was smooth and quick and we were given a room on the 9th floor.
First impressions of the room were that it was quite large compared to what we were used to in New York. The room has an extra large window making for an excellent view even if it is only to the buildings across the road. We could see a little of the water if we looked out the window to the right.
The room contains two double beds which are very comfortable. We have stayed in so many hotels now that we are starting to rate a room based on the quality of the beds but we were very happy with these.
The room contained the basics including a TV, coffee maker, mini bar fridge, lounging chair and office desk.
The bathroom was quite large and comprised two rooms. The first contained a closet, sink and clothes drawer. The second contained the toilet, bathtub and separate shower which was hidden behind the door.
We ordered room service once for breakfast and twice for dinner. The staff were extremely attentive and the meals were wheeled in on a table that was then set up in the room. We had no complaints about the meals. They were well presented with plenty to eat and reasonably priced for a hotel.
Maid service was good. We didn’t have any problems with this. We did leave a tip but they didn’t take the money and we found out later that the tip is part of the final bill.
Overall we felt that the room was to the standard of a four star. It was very clean and modern. We definitely recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Miami.
