****UPDATE**** Prehaps there is some truth to dealing with the people at the top. Last night after I posted my review, I sent an email to the General Manager of the Hotel and I must say I have been completely impressed with how he has handled the items below. This morning there was amazing hot water when I showered, and maintenace even looked and, and managed to speed up my internet connection, somethingthing that I wish the people at the desk would have offered to do earlier. I have also been informed that in the near future they will be offering video confernece class in room wifi to all rooms. Given this I have upped my rating and will actually concider staying here again when I am back in the area.
*****Original Post**** I have been staying at the International Hotel for 5 nights now and all I can say is NEVER again. The "High Speed" internet downloads somewhere near Dialup, 46kb to be exact, and if you like a hot shower you might want to call the front desk a few hours before you wake up to make sure that someone has lit the pilot light on the water heater because that is something that apparently you have to do here because I have had 2 cold showers so far during my stay.
