For $185 for a night's stay I was less than impressed! The bed was rock hard, could have slept on the floor for the same level of comfort. Bathroom very dated, the hot water system groaned for a while, could hear the microwave ping from next unit. Nope, never again.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, in my life. Old dirty. I couldn’t sit in the arm chair for grease on chair. Filthy tiles in bathroom. Someone had a shower next door and water came up through drain in my bathroom. Dirty marks on wall. No bed head. Floor was sticky and dirty. Walls were paper thin. Could hear next door. Not sufficient lock on the door. Felt unsafe on my own. Sheets were clean. Terrible experience. Wont be trusting Wot if again.
