The air conditioning in our room didn’t work so they transferred us to another room, only to find out the air conditioning didn’t work in that room either. Their maintenance staff weren’t available on site to fix the issue and they didn’t have any other rooms available. Finally the hotel was unwilling to discount our stay despite the issues. Although staff were apologetic, we were very disappointed with how much we paid for this room and for what they offered to us in exchange. Definitely not worth the money!!!!
