The Le Meridien City Center is definitely something - despite the design, I think this is the one of the three City Center properties I would return to as the JW had too stiff of a mattress and the Marriott has a quite dated design. Here are my impressions and photos:
Pros:
- Upgraded to an Executive Suite before arrival
- Bed is generally comfortable - mattress is medium and slightly plush, covers are of okay plushness for the climate, pillows are plush
- Shower pressure is pretty good
- Offered late checkout proactively
- Club lounge had good brownies and papadum at afternoon and good pizza at evening service
- Breakfast only offered in restaurant and was good - good omelet, good barista coffee, good hashbrown
Neutral:
- Ran out of body wash in the shower stall - they should be better about filling these up
Cons:
- No in-room Ambassador welcome gift
- One of the hand towels had some staining
- Couch and couch pillows were not very comfortable
- I don’t like the design very much
