I stayed at the Intercontinental. It is part of the IHG chain (again was not able to book at HI online or by calling Amb services). It is priced higher than the Sheraton and costs 40K pts/night. Rates were around 1350 RMB/night when I was here (again post peak fall, Nov 7) and Sheraton was going for around 850 RMB/night (taxes included).

The skinny:
I was an AMB when I stayed here, but overall was slightly disappointed with this property with regards to elite benefits. First, I was only "upgraded" to a regular room at a higher floor. Apparently for AMB their is no upgrade to suites. They do have a club lounge, but it was closed and the staff told me they only have it open in Sep/Oct. So, ended up only with a "higher floor" room as an UG. However, I did get fruit delivered to my room and free breakfast coupons for each day I was there.

Rooms:
Again, while I didn't get an upgrade to a suite or club room, the regular rooms are quiet nice. All have new flat screen TVs, beds are nice and comfortable (had a nice big king), and there is a slight extended section which contains a sitting area and gas fireplace. I'd say the std rooms are about twice the size of a regular IC hotel room. You won't feel cramped, but definitely comfortable. As well, each room as it's own balcony with varying outdoor views. No super impressive views, but it certainly is pretty to look outside.

Bathrooms are basic and meet your needs, glass shower, tub. Nothing fancy, but better than a basic hotel bathroom.

Other than the fireplace and generally spacious feel of the room, nothing really stood out in memory. I didn't come to Jiuzhaigou to sit in a hotel room.

Restaurants:
There are quite a few restaurants to choose from. Most of them are in the big atrium/dome area where you enter the hotel. This is kind of a neat area to walk around, take pictures, etc. The best ones according to the staff is the Sichuan restaurant. I ate there two nights and the food was good, the prices were just overpriced. Ended up around 200 RMB/night for dinner. Restaurant is clean and service is good though.

Breakfast is at their buffet cafe which is on the side of the big dome area. Breakfast area is big, and crowded. I was there daily at 630am and it was already pretty packed. I can't imagine 730am on peak days. Breakfast was pretty good, but wasn't necessarily impressed with anything. Like any other hotel breakfast at any western chain, nothing to brag about but meets your needs.

Others:
The pool was closed for the season when I was here, so I didn't try. TA has info about you having to pay for the pool, but not sure if they would give this free for Plats/AMB/RA. Otherwise, you can kind of walk around the campus but otherwise there isn't a lot to see or do. Not really any walking trails.

There are a few boutique shops and souvenir stores, but with the rest of the hotel it was overpriced.

Internet was 100 RMB/day.
