So, I probably wouldn't stay there even if the reviews were great; but with the reviews so bad, there is no way I would stay there.

Wow. Such a mistake to put W in that area! Should have been Sukhumvit or some other young area with nightlife and excitement outside the property doors.
Thailand is actually a "third world" country.

BTW, i'm living in Thailand and love this country so much.
