“depends who you speak to.”
We stayed one night intending to break our journey north, we decided to avoid the weather in England and stay in France a few more days. The first room was fine, usual Novotel room. We had to move rooms for the extra nights, this was into a four person family room (the grandparents had to go back). The outside temperature was hot ( this is why we chose an air conditioned hotel). The second night was hot and uncomfortable but not unbearable. I asked during the day if it was possible to adjust the temperature in the room as it was rather hot. I was told not a probelm. Later our room was hotter, asked again same young lady & was told it is very hot outside today, but she will try.
We all had showers before bed and at 11.00 the children were still awake, I had to keep spraying them with magicool. They were still bright pink. By 12.00 my husband was standing against the wall to cool off and i had another shower this was ridiculous. I went downstairs and told the night receptionist that we couldnt sleep because it was too hot. He instantly gave us another room. Moved rooms at 12.30 this one was cool as soon as i put the children in bed they curled up and went to sleep. I should have insisted someone come up to the room, and in future I will be far more persistent. But I was on holiday! Oh and it was on the 3rd floor and 28 degrees outside opening the window made it noisy and much worse.
