I had a room on one of the business class exclusive floors (upgraded based on previous nights stay at other Intercontinential locations). Room was very large and very nice. Not special in any way - business class - but made for a proper rest once I managed to drag myself hour in the early hours of the morn....
Excellent buffet breakfast. Very friendly and efficient staff. Dinner offerings a bit bland and overpriced but you don't have to wait until 10 pm to eat. Wine was also expensive by the glass but bottle prices were more reasonable. I stayed here during a conference and wouldn't spend this much if I had to pay my own money but it was very nice in most respects. Very good location, easy to get to points of interest..
Concierge recommended several reasonably priced restaurants serving excellent food.
