The entire stay was excellent but what set Le Meridien Essex apart was the staff. The housekeeping, bell and front desk teams were wonderful. They were super accommodating and friendly. I can't express enough how grateful we were to their responsiveness when we left behind an item after check-out.

This place was way too expensive to be that small and not even have a small kitchen area or something. The biggest offers here are the room with the bed, a Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom (sound is muffled), and a fancy blue shower with weak water pressure 😐
