Actually I would say that you were as much at fault as the other party.
You should have never left on an hour and a half drive to meet with someone without talking with them, just prior to leaving for the meet.
I never leave for a meet, even if it's just around the corner, before talking with the other party. I have never been stood up.
Good of you to make the feedback right.
I get what your saying and agree that no way I'd drive that far without confirmation. That being said he is not even close to as much at fault. He just did what he was supposed to. Made a deal, kept his word and got no-showed.
