My girlfriend and I, were staying at the hotel, and before going to a brunch, we decided to have a drink at the Stinger Bar. For our surprise, Eddie, was our waiter. He was very attentive, polite, extremely funny, and above all, loved what he did. He surprised us after I told him that was ny girlfriend's birthday and her first time in New York. Five minutes later, he brought a dessert, a chocolate sponge with a birthday card, and everyone around us sang happy birthday to her. She was very happy. He made our first day in New York magical. Secretly, I told him that I was going to propose her for brunch and showed him the ring.
We return to the Stinger, on Monday night, and she showed him the rings, and one more time, he was surprising us with a glass of Prosseco, in a big day if our lives, Eddie, thank you very much for your genuine kindness.

I would expect much higher standards for 4 star hotel. Window isolation was quite poor. Our room was situated to the main street, where there was never ending traffic. Despite the fact our room was on the higher floor, due to poor window isolation, we could hear everything from the outside and could not really sleep during the night. Luckily we could change the room to the other side, where it was much better. Breakfast was nice and tasty.

I am spending 5 nights at the hotel. It’s gotten very cold in NYC and the heating system in my original room did not work well…the temp in the room was close to 10 degrees Celsius. I complained after the second night and was moved to the room next door. The same problem again. I’ve slept with a jumper and socks the last two days.
This is something you would expect from a 2 star hotel, definitely not the intercontinental.

We checked in to intercontinental for a 4 day family trip. The receptionist are so friendly and checkin process is so quick. Intercontinental is right on 44 street and 10 mins walk to times square. Very much near to central park and other restaurants.
Every day Room service., porters are helpful.
The breakfast buffet here is good., though some items are routine. They could have change it so people staying for couple days wont get bored with same items.
Evening bar was good with free nuts for munchies.

I would not stay here as it is overpriced and I had a terrible experience. I asked for an upgrade as I was eligible for one with Fine Hotels and Resorts through AMEX and the front desk told me it would be $150. Then, we took the standard room- no upgrade, we were sleeping and at 6 AM someone opened the door our room. I screamed as did the stranger. I called down to the front desk and told them I did not feel safe as a stranger had awoken me from my slumber by entering into my room. She said "sorry we don't have any rooms available." After one hour, I was finally told by the manager that they had accidentally assigned my room to another guest!
She profusely did apologize but I am confused as to how this would even happen! She offered to NOW upgrade us, so we packed up and got a. corner junior suite that was just average (just a slightly bigger room with a view). That same night, we asked for complimentary water bottles and the front desk refused to give us any, stating we weren't eligible even though we have Platinum status. The front desk told me that was not a part of the eligibility - even though it clearly states that you can get an upgrade if available as well as water. Overall for a 5 star hotel, I am sure your money would be better spent elsewhere.
