Poor service, strange odors, to far from the fun.

I have visited many hotels on business, and found the Intercontinental in Houston to be the least enjoyable. To start with, finding help in the hotel reminds me of episodes in some of the big hardware chain stores, where all the employees seem to be busy. Second, several halways had a strange chemical smell. I may have been overly sensitive to this becasue on my second day, I broke out in a rash. I don't know if it had anything to do with my stay there, but for several days after my trip I had very itchy skin and some blemishes. Finally, for those interested in Houston's museums or other cultural attractions, this hotel is too far away-an expensive cab ride. It's close to the Galleria, but you've seen one old shopping mall you're seem them all. Many other good hotels in Houston to choses from. Give this place a pass.
