This is it. And it's because tap water can be really different from locale to locale. If you're not used to it, it can taste quite bad. And room temperature water from the tap can enhance the flavor. So people put ice in it to cover it up.

He's also correct in that those ice machines never really get cleaned.

I once left a 5 star review for a hotel purely because the hotel was what I expect from a hotel, but there was someone actively cleaning out the ice machine while we were bringing stuff into the room.

Nothing seemed eslecially clean or cared for while we were there, but I had never seen someone clean one before. Or cleaned the drink dispensers after breakfast is over.

I actually have a UV light I take with me on trips for both rock hunting and for hotels. Some hotels you just learn to avoid.
