This hotel is very historical and very much for me. My great grandfather managed it as part of the original intercontinental group back in the 50’s. So I was excited to go and see it. The hotel is beautiful and the pool outstanding. The staff including front desk and cleaning crew were not very responsive or helpful. The overall condition of the hotel was bad. The airconditioning in our room was cold but also super humid. The system was not working right. The food at the poolside was not good we tried it once. The breakfast was very good and tasty we ate it every day. Overall my experience was good but not memorable.
