A/C didn’t work & Reception told us wrong room

Check in was difficult as only 2 employees were helping one customer leading to a long line for the rest of us checking in. The employee was nice but took a long time actually completing the check in even though there was little to no information needed from me. The employee told and wrote down the wrong number of the room leading us to walk the entire property only to arrive at a room we couldn’t enter after trying the door multiple times and having to walk back to the front desk and were told our correct room was right in the front. The room signage and arrows were confusing and not helpful as some rooms are outside but the arrows say they are inside. The elevator was slow and hot. Once we actually got to our room it was clean and comfy but the AC didn’t work. It said it went down to 60 degrees but only actually got down to 75. And kept turning off so the room was stuffy and we had to keep opening the door to the hallway for airflow.

The beds were very comfortable, our room had a beautiful view of the pool, the room had a fridge but no microwave, but the hotel does have a microwave in the lobby. The night staff and morning staff were very polite, helpful, and nice. The room does need some TLC, but it was very comfortable to have a restful night.
