What surprises me is that Le Meridian is one of the preferred properties in the Leading Hotels of the World in the AMEX Platnium program. Usually those hotels are quite spectacular, which I have never had any problem with, which is why I booked there originally. I've heard enough negative to make sure I cancelled the reservation. Who want's to spend over $1500 for a few nights hotel under the circumstances of having things stolen, mildewed rooms that are unusable and poor customer service? Not even mentioning some health issues with the buffet at lunch?
