Our room was hot. They failed to tell us that from October to March, there's no air conditioning. So it was 80 degrees in our room. Tried to turn the air on and it was blowing out hot. So I called the front desk and told them what was happening and they said they would send maintenance up. An hour passed, we are in our room sweating and nobody ever came. So we went to the front desk and THAT'S when they informed us that if we try to turn the air on between those months, it will blow out like you turned the heat on. I said oh okay so they couldn't tell us that when we checked in. Or when I called AN HOUR AGO and explained exactly what was happening and you guys didn't tell us to turn the air off. Didn't tell us there was no air. Just said you would send maintenance that never came. He said in order to keep the room cool during those months when it's hot outside, you have to keep the doors open. I know you don't think I'm leaving the front door of our room open for a cross breeze while we are sleeping. Left the balcony door open so we didn't bake ourselves but got very minimal sleep because of all the noise. Also, got a room with a tub and half the jets didn't work.

We had issues with the heat. When we called for assistance, the maintenance man seemed to mock us. We basically had to put the room on 90 degrees for it to feel like 72 degrees. When we asked about the bathtub water not getting hot as it does in the bathroom sink or kitchen sink , he again said because it was cold outside and we should not expect an extreme hot shower. The next day when we asked again about the hot water in the bathtub they sent different people to look at it because we said that it had to do with the faucet itself. The people said they were not comfortable fixing it we would have to wait until the following day. This was supposed to be a romantic getaway but being cold and not having hot water was not that fun. Also, my husband cut himself on the outside door because the paint is flaking away on the door handle to cause very sharp edges so when you open or close the door from outside you are stabbing youtself. Our next to last day we were sitting inside enjoyjng the view from the inside when all of a sudden all this water starts pouring onto our balcony soaking out belongings we had on the balfony. when we screamed upstairs no one answered and then it happened again. the cleaning people apologized but why would you just poir your dirty mop water over a balcony when people are staying there. very unfriendly staff, we will not be coming back. we thought we would come every year for my husbands birthday but this experience was horrible.

We got there at 6 o'clock and went straight to our room. Turned on the heat and the heat was at 65 and it raised 268 in 6 hours. We said it in 72 and it never got there. So 5:00 after we got there, I went down to the front desk, and the guy that was working, said that the maintenance man would be right down. And to go back to my room so I went back to my room. And I waited, and I waited for an hour. This man never showed up. So I called down to the front desk, and they said, oh, he went home. He must have forgot. He'll come in first thing in and I said, well, can you at least bring us some blankets? And maybe say eater, if you have one. So they brought us 2 blankets and a heater. The heater helped a little bit, but it was still really good. The next morning, the maintenance man came in, and he looked at the vents. He had this gun that told him how much the temperature was that's coming out of the vent. And they all read between 75 and 80 and the 80 was not long. So none of the air was blowing through. He said he would have to get a company to come in and cleanup events and that they weren't going to do that with somebody in the room. And that the manager of the grounds would do it at all. So he told us, oh, it'll go up today because it'll be a warm day but at night it was still cold. The girl at the front desk, the next morning was very rude, and the TV in the bedroom did not work. They had put it in there, and never set it up. And there was a huge gap between the floor and o
