Basic Room with Some Issues

dirty bathroomnon-functional wifi
The bathroom was not very clean. I saw mold, it made me uncomfortable. The TV's WiFi did not work. I could not use Netflix. There was also a noise complaint, and staff knocked on my door right after they spoke to the noisy people. It was clear I had complained and this. It was nearly midnight!

The hotel lacked a physical reception. I had to wait outside until someone answered a phone call to let me in. additionally, the room showed considerable wear and tear, including visible yellow stains on the bed coverings. i found this quite unhygienic.
