Reviews: The Intercontinental Houston garnered a 76% approval rating out of 141 user reviews on trip advisor.com. Fifty of those were business travelers while fifty-three of those were couples. The reviews bragged about the customer service, soft beds and cleanliness of the rooms. The breakfast at the hotel dining establishment was considered more than fair. The most notable complaints were the lack of free internet services, having to pay for parking and a few cases of bed bug infestation. As a note for travelers, the bed bug infestations were limited to 2-3 instances and the guests were quickly moved to another room without pests. Parking at hotels in large cities often results in an additional daily charge.
