Staying in a major city at a Hyatt. Since Sunday check in to now, they’ve had issues with their hot water and the shower just barely gets warm enough to shower. Does not get hot and steam. Have to get in and out quick since it’s not comfortable. Switching rooms doesn’t help. It’s a whole building issue. I’m Titanium Marriott but nothing with hyatt. How many points can I request as compensation? Stay is about $200/night total Sunday- Thursday so I think $800-900 total
