Black mold on ceiling

The rooms are outdated and there was black mold on the ceiling. I brought it to their attention but they said said they couldn’t move me because they were full. So they did nothing about it. She said they have had issue with it. I have stage 4 cancer and I really didn’t want to stay in that room but had no choice.

They tried to tell us we only had two rooms booked (we had three). Then they had one of our rooms double booked and it took us two hours to finally get into a room. Then I was charged much more than I had been told I would and was also charged for parking even though we didn’t park at the hotel.
