This hotel hit all the buckets: close to everything downtown; clean and attractive; friendly staff; good restaurant/bar; and the most comfortable bed ever. I will definitely stay here again, next time I visit Austin.

We only stayed one night because of a Chirstmas Party in Austin. I have stayed in a few different hotels in Austin, both high-end and economy. This is the first time I had stayed in an Intercontinental (and probably the last.) The Hotel is luxurious in the lobby, and the rooms had nice finishes. However, the finishes were poorly maintained (cracked caulk, scuffed up paint, etc.). The hot water in the sink was scalding while the hot water in the shower was luke-warm. To top it off, the water had a strange smell to it. Pool is a strong word for the facility in the basement. Good for swimming laps only. Also, for the cost of the room you would think some of the little extras would be thrown in like wireless internet or more than one cup of coffee. To top everything off, they charged us for a bottle of water which we did not drink. The only advantage the hotel had was the walk to 6th street. For what I spent, I could have stayed in a nicer place and used the extra money for a cab back and forth. The other thing I may do next time is spend the extra $* and stay in the Driskill.

Nice hotel. Great location in downtown Austin. blocks from the capital and around the corner from nightlife on 6th street. The hotel is a classic hotel. the rooms are nicely furnished. great bed and comfortable pillows and bedding. the gym is nice and large. overall a good deal for the price. the hotel restaurant and bar ont he terrace is a great place to start or end an evening.

Highly Overrated

For a hotel that is supposed to be 4 Star and a cut above, The Intercontinental doesn't make the grade. The rooms are very small and outdated, the service is poor and the price does not equal the quality. From a quality and service standpoint, the Intercontinental is not much different from a Holiday Inn. Do yourself a favor, when in Austin, choose the Hilton, Hyatt or Omni. All three are in the same price range and are much better hotels. I definitely WILL NOT stay here again.
