Disappointing stay in Marseille

We could not find the hotel because the name has changed. It is no longer Holiday Inn Express. We had not been notified by email. We wasted an hour in the afternoon heat searching and finally found it. See photo. Our first room had a cracked sink and the safe was not working (photos). The manager was sympathetic and offered a different room with a noisy air conditioner. Our third room was fine except that the sink was cracked, the safe didn't work and there was black mold on the bathroom walls and shower glass (photos). This room later developed a noisy air conditioner. Breakfasts were typical Holiday Inn Express format and good. The white vertical pole in this area was filthy (photo) and some seats were ripped (photo). Bed linens were very good. We felt the area is not safe at night. There is spray-painted graffiti everywhere outside the hotel and in many places throughout the city. There is a good grocery store next to the hotel. Very handy to have the train station and bus station across the street. Avoid the laneway to the right down the street from this hotel. There are areas of piled garbage, men in doorways and garbage on the streets. We hope that the new owners of this hotel will do a thorough renovation. This is the first time in many years of travelling that we have encountered problems at a major hotel.

Cracks in two sinks (one sink shown)
Black mould on bathroom tiles
Graffiti all around main train station and in many parts of Marseille

This hotel is not belonging to Holiday Inn Express anymore. Now management locked all safe boxes. Guests are not allowed to use it. But on there website still listed safe box in room. My room sink was blocked before I checked in, I reported to front desk immediately, no one came. Until evening I insisted to change a room. The young lady in front desk was not reliable.

The gentlemen at the desk was very friendly. The hallways and the room need a facelift. Chipped paint, stained carpets. The room was unusually large with a large workspace. The bed was comfortable. I was on the second floor facing the busy street. Fortunately I had earplugs. Breakfast was good. Convenient location.
