Meridian Plaza Hotel

I had very good experience. Will come back

IT HAD A FEEL OF A CHEAP MOTEL; the rooms were not very clean the chairs and the couch had stains. However, the kitchen and bathroom was clean and it was in a good location.

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.

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.

Our first night we stayed in a dumpy room. the next night they moved us to a better room which made the rest of our stay great!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
