"A mixture of comments, good and not so much: The manager was helpful and very pleasant. The linens were plentiful and sparklingly clean, and the bed was comfortable. The room temperature controls were functional and adjustable... a major plus! The refrigerator was blocking the walkway between beds and not operational. Two bus groups had used up ALL the ice from the single available ice machine, and it didn't replenish within the suggested 20 minute time frame... we waited over an hour, to no avail."
