Called at 10:56pm, 10:57pm, 10:58pm, 10:59pm no answer
Called again at 12:57am and got the desk.
I told the nightworker that we would be checking in at 2am after a 4 hour drive. He told me at that point that the aircon was broken, and eventually agreed to give us a 50% refund on our room. He made a note to pass to the morning team.
The room was uncomfortably hot, but we got to sleep around 3am.
In the morning at 8:30am, power tools and loud banging in a neighbouring room startled us awake. Rooms were being renovated.
I went to reception and the woman on the desk claimed that she couldn't do anything.
Had we been told that the air-con was broken ahead of time, we would have made alternative hotel arrangements.
Had we been told at our 2am check-in that there were room renovations being done from 8:30am, then we could have at least tried to get some ear plugs to deal with the noise.
We are touring orchestral performers and this lack of rest will really make our work that much more difficult.
I want a full refund.
