Why did they cover castle floors with straw?

There is some question as to whether floors were covered with straw. Supposedly, it absorbed odors and covered over filth, and was gradually added as needed until it was cleaned out once per year or so.

Part of the problem with this idea is that we have many pictures of medieval people in their homes, and none show straw on the floor. Part of the problem is that the dresses women wore would have been very impractical, dragging straw all over the place and getting really filthy.

The problem I have with it is that the only source for the idea I can find comes from a letter Erasmus wrote a friend long after the Middle Age ended. It was describing the conditions in English inns, and in my opinion was a comic comparison making the inns to be like badly kept stables.
