Mini-Review: Intercontinental Miami
Note: this also appears with my reviews over on Yelp.
I stayed here for a conference that was being held at the hotel, so it was convenient. If I had to do it all over again I'd look for alternatives.
It has nice common areas, decent but dated rooms and the worst shower curtain/rod configuration possible.
The room decor felt like some odd blend of Golden Girls and Arsenio Hall.
The work space was poor, with a low set chair that would be better suited in the restaurant than under the desk.
And the shower curtain was ridiculous. Whoever conceived the idea of doing a curved, flat shower rod with the short shower curtain hooks is a genius. It took me like 45 seconds to get the thing in place because the friction of moving the curtain was pulling the hooks out of the curtain holes. Just a comedy of errors that is so needlessly stupid it's frustrating.
Room service was good and friendly. On a random note, they have little salt and pepper grinders that you get w/ your meal. Nice little touch.
And, if you're looking for some casual / quick eats in the area, I recommend checking the reviews of JD N on Yelp
