What exactly are you expecting? The Le Meridien is perfectly reasonable, if a little old. The rooms are clean, you get a proper bed, and you get dinner/breakfast. You also have the option of numerous bars/restaurants in the area.
There have been repots of EK using other hotels (JW Marriott Marquis), but I think this is only when the Le Meridien is full. The JW is also about 30 minutes drive from the airport.
How long is your stopover?
