loud air conditioning overdue maintenance

I found some issues needing attention. The air conditioning was quite noisy. I had to open the window instead. It looked some maintenance was overdue. There were minor defects here and there, so things felt a little dated. I expect better upkeep.

Acceptable but Spotty Stay

musty odor slow shower drain

The room had a distinct musty odor. I suspect there may have been mold somewhere. The shower drain was also slow. It pooled up around my feet, unpleasant. The front desk was slow to respond to my request for more towels, really slow. They eventually arrived, but it took over an hour.
