Hotel Lacking

Leonie Sep 10, 2009

The economy room was very depressing and we had to upgrade to the seaside which was average. Rooms are very out dated. ... Mattress on the beds are very hard and uncomfortable. Slept on the coach. Advertised that breakfast was provided, but when we got there, discovered they do not provide that. Only saving grace was that the weather was good and we enjoyed the beach.

Over booked

Mad Dad Jul 27, 2009

When we arrived the hotel had no reservation for us, and told us that they could not help. I called orbitz and was told that ... they was sorry for the problem. I ask for them to help us find a room they said the only thing that they had was almost twice the price and could not let us have the same price. We have 11 and 13 year old boys that had to wait for four more hours till we found a hotel, which was by ourselves. We came from Ky about 8 hours which we thought we that we would be going straight into the room but we were wrong.

great place to stay

Would recommend to a friend!

Mostly clean (except coffe pot) and quiet. Great location on the beach and restaurants within walking distance. Broadway at ... the Beach shopping center only a couple miles away. Good covered parking directly across the street. No breakfast available and very little coffee available even at the front desk in morning. However, coffe pot, dishes, drinking glasses, etc are available in the room if you bring the food and drinks. We did not know.

Mediocre Hotel

Stephanie Jul 9, 2009

I booked this hotel a month in advance and asked for a king bed with an ocean view. I was told at check-in that they didn't ... have that room available and that we would be staying in an oceanfront room with two double beds. Not what my husband and I had in mind but didn't complain. When we got to the room, the door was hard to close and slammed upon closing. The carpet was very old and dirty as was the comforters on the beds and the sofa and chairs in the sitting area. The burners on the stove were covered with foil and very dirty and someone had left the dishwasher running with nothing in it. The sliding glass door had no lock on it and the frame at the bottom of the door was deformed and jutting outward to the point that if you weren't careful you would injure yourself going out. Our next door neighbor had children who kept knocking on the adjoining door to our room and turning the knob trying to gain entry. It was very annoying. The room was as clean as it could be with the old furnishing and bedding. The bathroom was pretty clean as were the towels. We brought our own paper plates, spoons, napkins, etc. so we didn't have to use any of the dishes provided in the room. It was not the most comfortable place to stay.

Don't Go!

The room was in disrepair. Cabinet doors were falling off, the closet shelves were hanging, there was no iron or hair dryer, ... and the room was dirty.

Very disappointing

Disappointed Jul 7, 2009

The stay at the Meridian was very disappointing. As my first real vacation in over a decade, it was a BIG letdown. The room ... was very small, the "oceanview" was an angle about 60 degrees up the beach, there was no hair dryer, tissues or anything else you would expect, or was as advertized. Mold in the shower, a towel rack that kept falling off, a sink with loose fittings, a broken slider. The list goes on and on. A Super 8 would have been an upgrade. I've used another travel service 4 times in the past couple of years for business travel and was never disappointed. This place, and the Orbitz high rating of it on the list they gave me, has left a real bad taste in my mouth. Would NEVER, EVER, recommend this place.

Great location, questions about values

Mister B. Jul 7, 2009

This hotel has an ideal location, with excelent views of the beach. The room was large and well appointed. I was disapointed ... that there was no pool, no contenental breakfast, and no fitness center (amenities listed on the web site). The room was also in need of quite a bit of maintenance and better cleaning. I expected a lot better for the price.

Extremely dissatisfied

Gene Jun 26, 2009

Stayed in room 1104 Ocean Front. At check-in there was 2 dirty face cloths in bathroom, one on shower arm and other on shower ... rod. Couch had a 12 inch rip on cushion with the stuffing hanging out. Carpet had burn marks and was not vacumn as there was a coke lid, crumbs,etc on bedroom room carpet and also in Living room.Stove had foil on burners which were covered in grease. Freezer was 1 inch thick in ice with spilled coke frozen in it. Microwave was filthy, looked like pasta sauce exploded in it.The balcony door was fog up between the glass so bad that we could not see out of it when it was closed.Asked manager to come to room but he was to busy, sent housekeeping supervisor who admitted the room was filthy. Blamed it on a new Russion exchange student they just hired. She also said the repairs I mentioned needed to be done but they did not have a schedule for them. Spoke to several other guests, One said the only way to close the balcony door from the outside was to pull on 1 screw as there was no handle. Also front door lock did not work. Another guest said when they checked in there room the bed was made with the old dirty sheets. They went down and got new sheets and made the bed themselves.Great location would stay in same area but for sure not the Meridian.
