I complained the first morning that there was no hot water at the sink or shower. When I got back from the day that was still the case. I told them again that afternoon. When we got back that night at least it was warm in the shower but still none in the sink. The next morning it was at best luke warm in the shower and still none in the sink. The first thing I did when I got home was take a nice hot shower.
