12 hours too many!

We stayed for one night while visiting UDel. The room had a smell and we were forced to turn off the heat due to the loud blowing sound. But the fridge also made a loud buzzind sound that we were unable to turn off. We would have left, but it was late and we had an early morning tour. We both woke up with red eyes that cleared by noon, but have never had that happen before. There was only one garbage in a cabinet that was extremely inconvienent.
