Much Less Than Expected
Le Meridien has managed to transform an old "Y" into a modern, sleek hotel with courteous, professional staff. The hotel is entered by two short rows of stairs. Not a problem for us, but be warned. Also, at all costs, avoid an "atrium" view. It is the old air shaft and the open corridors let everyone stare into your room. We fortunately missed out on this treat.
 Our bathroom was large, modern and nicely designed and appointed with a smallish sleek shower. No tub. The bed area in our deluxe king room, however, was around 215 sq. ft and had no desk. The guest is expected to work on a high table using the 3' that are left over by the TV. The stiff raised "desk" chair that belongs next to a 1960's basement bar and the plastic cups in the bathroom summed up the disappointments. Will not return and will again stay at my usual haunts the Omni and the Palomar. Just no comparison.
