Yesterday when we checked in, our room was about 110 degrees despite the thermostat showing 67. I was told by the front desk that the hotel has turned on the heat for the winter -- because, you know, it's 50 degrees in Omaha -- so the only option for cool air is to turn off the fan altogether or request a plug-in fan from maintenance. Air conditioning is not an option.
This morning, there was not a drop of hot water to be found in the shower.
So, to recap: Room temperature = hot only, water = cold only.
On the positive side, we were given a complementary cookie when we checked in. And the bacon was quite delightful at breakfast.
I'd describe today's morning skate as loose, yet business-like. I did hear some commenting that the Qwest Center ice is somewhat bumpy. This made long passes along the ice difficult at times. Might be something to watch tonight, particularly in the transition game.
