I was beyond underwhelmed

Front desk staff were nice and always greeted guests if they were able. Shower had black mold in spots I cleaned myself with a toothbrush. Hotel room’s carpet was stained in a couple spots and walls were covered in dust, snd stains. One stain I was able to wipe away easily with a tissue, the others seemed ingrained into the wall. Mattress was distorted into three distinct levels from the left, middle and right portions. Cloth furniture was a bit tattered. Ended up catching a fever while staying here, albeit that is likely a coincidence. Would not return, but was able to make do. For the most expensive hotel stay of my trip, I was beyond underwhelmed. It should have been half the price I paid considering what I received.

Room size and the bed is big. 7 eleven is just around the corner. If the hotel can provide a description of subway exit that has an elevator or escalator to the street level will be better to the guest with luggages.
