“Melbourne's intercontinental hotel”

In the heart of Melbourne, InterContinental Melbourne by IHG is a fantastic top-notch stay for many: the best-location verdict, a super clean room of just-right size with a huge washroom, perfectly-fitting bed and pillows, very friendly staff who made a child's day with a colouring book, tour pickups at the door and tasty dinner and breakfast. Dissents though: a quite old-for-five-stars verdict — a five-hundred-nightly rate judged too much, ignored advance requests, a cold indoor pool and an unchanging breakfast spread.
