malfunctioning air conditioningnon functional phone

the air conditioning malfunctioned , presenting quite a challenge. it repeatedly shut off, displaying an error code. contacting reception proved difficult as the phone in the room was not functional. this meant a trip downstairs to address the issue, a process repeated several times throughout the night (it was quite late, around 11 pm).
