The Intercontinenal Hotel is an older (but updated) hotel in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It is a perfect location to walk to the restaurants, galleries, music, etc. The check-in staff was amazing, friendly and efficient. However, the valet is horrible. For $50 a day, we expected much better service. More than half the time, we had to walk over the partking lot to get our car ourselves. The rooms were nice, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom was updated. Unfortunately, there is NO mini-fridge for personal useage in the room. The only firdge was stocked full of drinks that you could buy, but we could not empty our cooler for our own beverages so we made good use of the ice machine while we were there. The fitness room is good and has towels, wipes, water etc. All in all a great stay, but the parking situation was pretty bad.
