Worst ever stay

Firstly… looks good online but in person needs a lot of upgrades. I kept getting locked out my room because the cheap key cards kept the magnetizing even when it’s not next to anything so I had to go to the office get another one. It happened 5 times within the two day stay. There was MOLD in the refrigerator. I didn’t see at first Until later after food went bad from no electricity annd no air condition. On the second day, the electricity went out so I had no choice, but to pack up check out as soon as possible, and the manager didn’t offer a refund. No basic amenities like an ice machine. Had an old disconnected phone in drawer wit spider webs and dirty Qtips. So I couldn’t even call for service. I purchased it through hotels.com but unfortunately, they couldn’t get an approval from the hotel to give me a refund so I paid for what I got… A unpleasant stay!!!
