i stayed in the sheraton last march and they werent great. besides the fact that the hotel is sort of run down and my sheets were ripped and stained, they gave almost no plat recognition cept a fruit plate (no upgrade, no lounge, no free breakfast). for a cat 1, it was fine i guess, though at that time, sheraton jerusalem was also cat 1 and was much better quality.
my brother stayed at the meridien on a paid stay in the summer, before they were part of spg, and loved the hotel, though i cant say anything about the plat benefits yet...
when my bro booked, the rates for meridien were higher than the sheraton, so im thinking the value at cat 1 for redemption for the meridien is better...

I'm looking to book a few days in the area next month and figured I'd check if it's worth trying one of these two properties or going with another chain.
Thanks.
