Fairly good.
Cons:

The fact that there was food (fish) left in the refrigerator by a prior guest. The room was not cleaned properly or this would not have happened. It smelled gross.

Great location and staff
Pros:

We stayed here for a short visit to Houston and appreciated the friendly and welcoming front desk staff. The hotel is in a very convenient location, just a short drive to Rice University and the Museum District, which made it easy to explore the area.

However, the facility maintenance needs improvement. The toilet in our room couldn’t be flushed properly. Although the maintenance staff came promptly to fix it, the same issue happened again the next day. It was a bit disappointing since everything else was pleasant.

Overall, great location and service, but the hotel could benefit from better upkeep of its facilities.

It was no fun.
Pros:

We showed up at 3:00 pm to check in. It was an Ambassador stay so there should have been an upgrade - I pay $225 a year or whatever it is for Ambassador status. Our room was not ready. So here's the thing - you market yourself as a top tier hotel - to me, that means your customers should always come first. Instead, I felt like we were merely an inconvenience.
We were sent up to the "club" (which we'd already paid for) to wait. It was 3:00, so nothing was out in the club. We just sat there. And sat there. And sat there. Until 5:00 pm at which time the club opened up and food came out as well as drinks. Our room still wasn't ready. We waited until 5:45 for our room, which was supposed to be ready at 3:00 pm.
Here's how it should have gone: "I'm sorry, you're room is not ready. Why don't you all sit at the bar, we'll give you some drinks and some snacks for your family. As soon as your room is ready, we'll let you know." Or, "I'm sorry, your room isn't ready. We're going to put you in two rooms with two queens each, so your kids can have one room and you and your wife can have the other. It's the least we can do." Or, "Your room isn't ready, so we're going to upgrade you to a suite like we should have done in the first place."
But none of that is what happened. Instead, we sat alone in an empty club for 2.75 hours. Almost three hours before our room was ready. I've been treated better at Holiday Inns and certainly better at a Marriott or Hyatt.
The "upgrade:" We got the same room I paid for. I'm still not sure what the upgrade was, if anything. On our bill it showed some sort of "naturalist" package, but we paid for that. There was an $87.53 charge for "The Naturalist Dinner - Wine." To me, an upgrade is the next level of room, not a charge of $87 for some wine that you didn't ask for. I didn't feel like we got an "Ambassador upgrade."
Meanwhile, we're waiting for almost three hours in the empty "club." I eventually went down to ask what was going on. The desk offered me 5000 points for my inconvenience. Here's what I think: customer service it taking care of your customers, not placating them with a minimal gesture that you read off of some corporate check list.
My family was treated badly, I was embarrassed, and our weekend away was a disappointment. I know - first world problems. But I'm paying first world prices, so I think I get to expect first world service. None of that happened. At the end of the day, I think someone sent up a cheese tray to make it all ok. Gee, thanks.
Look, I know you need to make a profit. But i also know you market yourselves as an upscale hotel that takes care of its customers. I didn't feel like we were at an upscale hotel and I didn't feel like we were what mattered. I felt like the Intercontinental Houston didn't really care about our experience. That's not what I want for my family.

Location, comfort and style.
Pros:

Location, professional staff with great attitude. The restaurant: great cuisine - we loved the hummus especially. The Restaurant/Bar Area are a little cold and impersonal, less cheerful than a guest who goes to MD Anderson might find comfort in. Concierge and Maid service ware outstanding. All in all one a great stay. The room was spacious, quiet, and comfortable. Soft bathrobes to boot.

Cons:

The bar area and the Restaurant feel and ambiance, perhaps due to the very high ceilings, are a bit dated and cold. Since many guests may be visiting also MD Anderson for treatment, a warmer, more soothing environ in color and especially light, may be great.
The morning coffee, albeit very good, is expensive $6+. We found other comparable Hotels offeer free coffee in the morning for guests staying a full week, like we did.
