"It was a clean nice hotel. Our room was facing to the highway, so I could hear the cars all night long. Also, the carpet was WET! I didn't smell anything bad. So, I suppose they just cleaned the carpet. But I couldn't walk around with my bare feet, it was nasty. I mentioned that to the lady at the front. No apology, no interested to hear - she wasn't rude or anything. But I think it will be nice to be a little apologetic. The bathroom was clean and beds were comfortable. The refrigerator was working but there was no freezer. It would be nice to have a freezer section. The free breakfast was nice, and they really maintain the dining area clean."
