So with the alternatives of:
Rimini Le Meridien for free (with a free weekend night voucher) or staying in San Marino and paying (I usually prefer to count visits to countries only after spending a night and meal there) which option would you take... is it really THAT bad?

I live in Rimini and I consider the Le Meridien one of the top 3 hotels in the city (...and we have miles and miles of hotels). This is the hotel where my company sends VIP guests. It's a 4 star and it doesn't offer too many facilities, it's not a resort and not a destination hotel, but it's ok for a weekend.
Then it very much depends in which period you're planning to come, if you're renting a car, if you're travelling with children etc etc etc....
Anyway what I can tell for sure is that you won't find a better hotel in San Marino (especially in the old center...and it really doesn't make any sense to sleep on some of the hotels outside the center there...you'll be just on the side of the free highway connecting Rimini to San Marino...30 mins by car).
Let me know if I can help you with your trip..it's a pleasure!

Last weekend went for the Ducati event, and spent some time on the beach.
The hotel is still looking very good- had an upper floor room with a largeish balcony.
For those who are curious, secure underground parking is 15 EUR a day, and the beach is 16 EUR a day for two people.
Staff are excellent.
I think, given that is very similar in price/location, that the I-suite may be better? http://www.i-suite.it/

Any recent stays?
Looking for a resort-style hotel not too far from Milan. Pool looks very small in this property. How about everything else?

Lago di Garda, Desenzano area, Sirmione and Riva del Garda are all very nice. Start with tripadvisor and see what is available given it is high season at the moment. Garda is very beautiful if you don't need to be at the beach. If you really must go to the beach (bad idea due to huge crowds) from Milano I would drive to Lignano.
