Had room that had a leak in wall / slab that made a noise throughout the day and night. Made room smell musty. Hole in carpet. Cabinets needed repairs. Bed had worn mattress making it too soft for comfortable resting. Room was nicely appointed. Naval base across bay was very loud with aircraft taking off and landing.

We had a room with 2 queen beds, so a bit tight. Bathroom was almost bigger than the room. The carpet is very old, needs to be replaced asap. Linen is old, new one would be good to have.
