Check in was a breeze. However, after about an hour or so in our room the toilet handle broke and we could not flush the toilet. They had us switch rooms. When we got into the new room it was rather warm so we turned the air conditioner down and hoped it would cool off the room. After about two hours it cooled the room a little but it was evident to us that this air conditioner was not going to work. Too late at night to do anything so we suffered through the night. We did inform the desk in the morning about our troubles and all the girl said was that "you have had quite a lot of bad luck." That was it no apology. Nothing.
