The room was at the end of the hall on the second floor. Clean but the carpet was damp by the left side of the heat/ air conditioner. Also, there was an condom envelope up against the bed pedastal. Hope it was just missed by the cleaning crew when vaccuming....... The vent in the bathroom banged half the night . Guess it was the breeze? The room was clean and comfortable though. A good deal too! :)
