but one of the lesser lights of that particular chain is the Best Western in Wuhan, China. In November, 2004 my husband and I stayed there for 7 days while the adoption of our daughter was finalized. At the time it was one of the newest hotels in town, which only meant that it wasn't as rundown as some of the others. Still, it was pretty grim. The beds were singles and some of the hardest I've ever slept on. We joked that they used some of the concrete left over from building the place to make the beds. Occasionally housekeeping stopped in to make the beds, but the rest of the room and the bathroom were rarely touched. Some days they didn't make it at all. The heating and cooling didn't work, or rather I should say that the heating worked too well - it would get stifling in the room - and we couldn't regulate it from the thermostat at all. The best we could do was to open the windows and let the really polluted cold air in. We were really glad to check out and move on to Guangzhou and the White Swan.
