Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

worn carpet stocked minibar
The room I stayed in felt a bit worn (i don't know). The carpet didn't seem properly installed in some areas. I didn't feel as comfortable as I hoped. the minibar was fully stocked with items for purchase. This left no room to store any personal food or drinks I wanted to keep cool. I had trouble with that.
