BLACK TOXIC MOLD!!!!!! STAY AWAY; NO working WIFI

TV didn't work; WIFI didn't work; no reading lamp and only one overhead light -- which didn't provide enough light to read at night, so I was stuck with NOTHING to do but sit in the ugly room. Small couch in room was filthy and I didn't dare put a suitcase or anything on it. The toilet was plugged ... but worst is the MOLD you can smell -- but do not see until you see the back of the building. Their website makes it look like the building has been fully renovated and painted --- it's not. After waiting two days for TV and WIFI to be fixed and thinking smell may dissipate, I checked out. I had paid in full to hotels.com and front desk would not reimburse me. I paid in full for SIX days and checked out after two. (It would have been after one night, but I gave them a chance to fix TV & WIFI ... but NOTHING still would work). Front desk personnel said I needed to contact hotels.com for any reimbursement.
Back of building where I was staying -- could smell the mold inside but not until I went around the back did I see WHAT I was smelling
Entire second building is covered in this black mold.

Ils sont en train de batir un restaurant en haut a coté et au dessus de ma chambre cela fait un vacarme épouvantable de 8 hrs le matin a 10 hrs le soir.

I didnt have much expectations with this hotel and I was correct. The good: the pools clean, theres no bugs in the rooms and its close to 5th and the beach. The not so bad: no coffee machine or fridge. This is easily remedied with a portable kettle and ice in a garbage can. The bad: No blankets, no hotwater, no cable or internet and absolutely no help from the staff. The restauraunt food is not good and over priced. The breakfast is not worth it. It was an all around horrible stay. I will never stay here again. I dont recommend this to anyone.

People are great here the people at the help desk workers etc no complaints on them great work. However it's a 2 star quality hotel. Old furniture, hot water comes after 10 minutes of leaving it on. There is no mirror at the restroom. Things just look neglected and old. They should invest some money and renew stuff. Also it's right next to a club so loud till 3am.

Horrible stay

As we arrived we were supposed to have a balcony. We did not have it. The days after in the morning they told us that it will be ok to move from one room to another but we had to repack our luggage and leave it to the reception. As we arrived lather that day, we were told that there was no room for us. After a not pleasant conversation, they found a room. It was externally noisy. The cleaning lady did not clean the room every day and we had to beg for toilet paper and soap

Jacqueline was the worst of all my experience. She was going out of her way to be unfriendly, She charged me again but she insisted that it wasn't paid, I paid in advance, the internet was so weak so I wasn't able to show proof at my arrival and Ibpaid because I was tired that night, in the morning I went back to front desk to show them my receipt. The morning person was the opposite, she was friendly and apologized. But my money wasn't refunded right away, I was told that I had to wait for the afternoon accountant, I came back later and unfriendly Jacqueline was at the front desk. She was very bothered doing her job,she had to return the money, she didn't apologized for her mistake,I asked for an extra towel because there is only one towel in the room and she denied it.The second night my brother and his wife asked the same and the extra towel was denied again, the toilet doesn't flush well in both of the rooms that we used, the second night we Asked to be moved to different room because the loud music from the bars around ends till 4 am, and my room was without AC and the same issue with the toilets , the wifi didn't work, we ask Jacqueline and she did it again she went out of her way to be unhelpful, the sink handles was so rusted that I didn't want to touch them, the water stinks,is the worst hotel that Expedia works with, it should not be in this platform. It my worst experience ever
