My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant and challenging aspects. The location was ideal for exploring Chicago, with easy access to major sites, but finding the hotel occasionally posed a challenge. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. However, the rooms were extremely old and uncomfortable, needing an upgrade for a better experience. The dining options were fantastic with fresh produce, but the price for some meals felt steep.

My stay at Intercontinental was quite disappointing overall. The rooms were small, dated, and lacking modern amenities like enough charging plugs, making the experience less than ideal. The staff's service was mediocre and waiting in line at the check-in desk was not pleasant. I probably won't choose Intercontinental again.
