History: Was called the Ramada Watford
till 2011.
In May 2010 the Mercure London Watford
Watford hotel hit the media when a guest asked to move room because of a ghost.
They stayed in room 307 and claimed to have seen the face of a weeping girl in
the mirror and actually managed to take a snap shot of the figure. News.com.au
claimed the photograph was a fake taken with an iphone application for creating
ghostly images.
