Needs Attention to specifics ASAP

There were mainly concerns with the hotel overall, but we did choose to stay. However there is NO elevator, the manager cancelled my reservation 3 times in one day, the lock to outside main door in broken, it smells like weed where multiple families are living there and workers' rooms. The pool was very cold, some areas smelled like mildew and there was mold on the walls as well with holes in the walls. Additionally, the cleaning job was not that clean with room doors left open after the "cleanings." I have pictures as proof too.
