My experience at hotels is that asking them to fix something that can't quickly be solved by one person with a wrench generally results in a punitive visit from maintenance staff who then fiddle with something until it breaks.

(Caveat: My room is mostly okay (east wing.) and is consistent with John's previous comments )

But things like hot water are basic assumptions for a hotel room. It would be reasonable to ask for a room change, or compensation if the room change is not available. Perhaps if that happened often enough, they would prioritize said overhaul.

OTOH, maybe I can sell hot water from my overheated tap ;-)
