"We had just checked out and went to the car. It broke down in the parking lot. It had to be towed. We were stranded. Judy at the desk was so kind. She let us have our room back so we could have somewhere warm to wait and allowed us an extra 30 min past check out so we could get our car back. Thank you Judy for your kindness. "
