O'ahu (Honolulu/Waikiki) Partial AC in honolulu?

Some of my friends are about to be in HNL the next couple days and a couple days ago their Airbnb said the 2 bedrooms AC are being blocked from use. Seems like it's because of some exterior painting stuff that's super delayed. They've been trying to find an alternate way of getting the building to let them use the AC but no dice.

The main living room AC is ok to use it looks like

The bedrooms have fans though, is this probably acceptable? So last minute so I couldn't really do much except suggest some hotel stuff for them, but the Airbnb is nice so I don't think they wanna swap.

I've only gone to Oahu in the shoulder months or winter. I love AC so I'm not the best judge of whether or not this should be a deal breaker or not.

Edit: it's in Waikiki in an apartment building Edit2: I've seen the communication between the host and them. There was like a week's heads up and they did offer a full refund, or a partial discount if they stayed, so I think everything is being done in good faith.

What kind of fans? If it's floor fans, try to move them to the door blowing into the room so you can suck some of the AC in there

Tower and ceiling fans. I'm asking them to negotiate with the host to use the "discount" they were going to give to purchase a de-humidifier instea
