This happened while the fires and subsequent smoke made it not feasible to open windows for air relief. Upon a maintenance person checking out the unit, it was proven necessary to replace the entire unit. This was not accomplished during our stay, and as the B & B was full, as well as other convenient accommodations, we were therefore 'forced' to remain where we were. I felt that some discount should have been entertained, but none was forthcoming. I would appreciate your feedback.
You weren't forced to stay there, you chose to.
If you stay in a B&B you shouldn't expect the same style of service that you get in a hotel, like rapid repairs of maintenance issues.
A discount might have been a nice gesture, but if you decided to stay after the A/C went out, you should either negotiate for a discount when problem happens or just pay the bill.
p.s. how is a discount "entertained"?
