Booking
I booked a Classic room online, which they upgraded to an Executive King suite.
Property
The property is downtown Rosslyn, near Deloitte, for those who knows that landmark. It was a ghost town in the time of coronovirus.
The lobby is up the elevator on what I believe is the fourth floor.
The common areas, while small, are very nice. I commented that I forgot how nice this property was, and it is. It is across the Key bridge from Georgetown, and is often reasonably priced.
Checkin
I attempted an early check-in to catch a conference call, but the upgraded room wasn’t ready. I elected to take the call in the business center, as the property was nearly vacant and I felt relatively assured of privacy.
Room
The room was an executive suite, or, as I call them, not a suite. That is, there is no separation of bedroom from living area.
The room contained an exercise bike, which I used on a couple of calls. I am contemplating getting one for the office.
Food and beverage
Nope. As the frontdesk clerk told me, Le Meridien’s tend not to have club rooms. I missed the limited restaurant and bar service.
Service
Friendly, when interaction was necessary, which was infrequent.
Rating (out of five)
*** (a strong three)
