Welcome to the Hotel Intercontinental

We arrived at the Hotel Intercontinental before noon, and were unable to check-in. So, we settled for checking-in our bags and heading out to lunch.

The hotel is probably the nicest we've seen, with a really nice soaking tub, shower stall, comfy king-size bed, and swivel LCD TV. It's much nicer than the Radisson hotel in Norfolk, where we stayed in a sketchy room with wallpaper peeling off of the wall and doors that wouldn't close (although we didn't notice any problem with the grout (a guest at the Radisson had actually complained about the hotel's grout.))

It would have been nice if the hotel staff had not told us on the phone that, yes, WiFi access is complimentary. (It's $15/day or $40/week.)

By the way, we used site59.com to book the trip. We'll let you know what we think of them when we get home.
