LEM at Le Parker Meridien
I just came back from a 2 night stay at Le Parker Meridien using my LEM certificates. After the various complications in making my reservation, and with my online reservation showing rack rate of $999 per night, I had no problem checking in. The front desk agent informed me that my 2 night stay has been taken care of and the check in confirmation I signed had a rate of $369 per night. Check out was also very straight forward, without any room charges.
I was pre-assigned a junior suite on the 11th floor facing 56th St and Starbucks across the street. The room had a rotating TV between the sitting area and the bedroom.
Everyone I encountered at the hotel was very nice, except for a French female concierge who was not particularly helpful when I asked about best way to drive out of Manhattan to NJ Turnpike on morning of Dec. 31. Considering that it took me 2-1/2 hours to get through Holland Tunnel on Sunday night, I was not about to get stuck going out due to New Year's Eve barricades.
There were probably more French tourists in the hotel than Americans during my stay. Street noise is also quite loud and takes a bit getting used to.

The boat transfer is NOT included...but it is a nice ride. While you're there it's also worth taking the free shuttle boat (multiple times a day) to the "LM base" where there is a small supermarket with excellent fresh baguettes and other sundries.

2007/8 Free Meridien Night Promo
I tried searching for the results but couldn't find anything meaningful.
The Meridien free nights accrued under this promo were Valid until early 2009, does anyone recall whether they were valid until the end of March 2009 or the end of April 2009?
