My stopover is 8.5 hours....

The le Meridien is old and smells so strongly of smoke that it turned me off. Yes I like the fact that there is a decent bed but am thinking that the sleeping areas in the F lounge are just as nice?

I guess its the smoke smell that turned me off and the fact that the Emirates wing was separate from the rest of the hotel, the ceiling were low and stank of smoke....the room didn't just the hallways....
