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....
It was probably a bad luck.
I am very sensitive to smoke smell since I quit heavy smoking 20 years ago.
Meridien rooms were fine. Did you ask to change for a non-smoking room ?
