Intercontinental Miami Downtown

IC Miami Downtown

What is your Priority Club status?

Spire Ambassador

Were you happy with the hotel/stay?
Fairly satisfied, no big plus or minus points

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
- King Bay View, special offer booked
- Got no room upgrade even though it was not high season; but club access given

How are the rooms?
- Bit dated in decor, but everything was in good working order
- Reasonable size, good amount of storage space
- Bay view is nice, but view onto bayfront park was at least as good

How is the exec. lounge?
- Good lounge with better than average offerings
- Staff was very attentive and helpful
- Great views on bayfront park and downtown Miami

What was good and what was bad?
Good
- Amenities and hotel facilities
- Club lounge
- Front desk staff
- Location is reasonable for getting around Miami
- Generally good hotel, but have been in far more exciting ICs

Bad
- Lack of status recognition
- Valet service was not always smooth
- Bar and restaurant area were very noisy, music too loud - not the place for conversation over drinks or dinner

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
- May return, although I prefer the Z-Ocean CP in South Beach
- Average value for money
