Sandman didn’t make it to our rooms ☹️

Upon checking in we were told the pool and hot tub were out of service which was a huge disappointment to our family. We had 2 granddaughters that were looking very forward to swimming with my husband. Also, during the night, the A/C in all of three of our rooms seemed to stop working very well and none of us got a good nights sleep before our day of travel. Not the experience we were hoping for.

Our room was next to elevators and with the trams outside so we had noises all night long of elevators going up and down and loud trams late through the night. We had 2 terrible night sleep and the fire alarm at 3am the first night didn’t help. Also the water in bathroom sink was boiling hot whichever way we turned the tap so had to brush our teeth and wash our faces with boiling hot water as well as buying several bottles of water as we couldn’t fill them up in the sink. We informed front desk after 1st morning and they said they would send someone to look at the water but no one did.
