Very nice hotel. Room was clean & very nice looking. The phone didn't work though. I just want to check on the check out time. Bed was comfy too. Front desk staff were friendly.

We stayed here on a girls weekend to see a concert. We all had luggage + coolers. Staff was great. We opted for valet parking, where several guys showed up to carry luggage as a cart wasn't available. Very prompt on delivery, as well as taking it down in the morning. We didn't eat at the hotel. Very luxurious room, towels, bedding, space. We would stay here again for a concert. We walked the 10 minutes to the Xcel Energy/Grand Casino Arena.

Was an awesome stay. The room was really warm and it took us a bit to figure out how to get it set so it would cool down. Everything else was great.

Great service. Valet service was incredible. Every time I requested my vehicle the valets ran to my car & held the doors doors open for me. I felt like royalty during my entire stay! We will be back!

I stayed here with my daughter and this place was amazing! We got breakfast included and they gave us a slip for breakfast and the breakfast was quite good with great variety. Staff was amazing! They brought me a fan when I forgot mine at home, I was very pleased with that. Room was clean and nice and cool. Valet was absolutely amazing. They were very kind and communicated great with my daughters father on everything. They opened my door for me when we parked and took great care of our vehicle and all were so extremely kind. I highly recommend this hotel!

I recently stayed at the InterContinental Hotels for an extended business trip, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Being away from home for work can be tough, but the staff here made me feel welcomed and taken care of every single day. From valet parking and security to management, everyone treated me with kindness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. It wasn’t just good service — they truly showed how much they cared about making sure my stay was comfortable. I especially want to thank Julia, Scott, Kim, and Kelly. They went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed during my stay. Whether it was checking in to see how things were going or helping with requests quickly and with a smile, they made a lasting impression and truly made my stay great. Because of this team, the hotel felt like a home away from home during my extended stay. I highly recommend staying here, and I look forward to coming back the next time I’m in town.

Very confidently located and great view of the river. This is def a place to go and have work functions at a the meeting spaces in the second floor. The rooms are nice. Not amazing hut nice. It’s a little annoying how busy it is and it takes forever to get an elevator. Plus the coffee shop in the hotel isn’t fantastic either. Overall for work trips I think it’s really good

I always love my stays at the Intercontinental! The service is fantastic. The valets are always quick and courteous, the front desk staff is always friendly and efficient, and the restaurant and bar staff are attentive and amazing! The proximity to the Grand Casino Arena makes this a convenient, pleasant hotel experience every time.
