Transferred rooms: first had large hole in bathroom wall and loud clunking fan. Second room had a used tobacco chew plug on sink counter. Took a picture and sent to management...received a brief thank you. Hotel is also under major reno so limited rooms according to staff. Breakfast in lobby with limited seating.
