We were checked into a room right by the elevator which was extremely loud and we could not rest. They then moved us to a room that the AC wouldn't work. 9:30pm at night they got the AC to work but then we went to shower and NO HOT WATER. We took a cold shower to go to bed. When we asked them for compensation we were only give the resort fee credit which is not enough for the issues we experience. We should be fully compensated for these issues.
