AC Needs to be Replaced. Should I get the tenant a hotel room?

We have a 12 year old AC unit in Florida's hot summers.

Late Tuesday night, a tenant contacted me about the AC being broken.  On Wednesday and Thursday, we had repairs (that didn't work) and quotes being estimated.  The units will be replaced Monday or Tuesday at the latest.  We are within our 7 day contract to remediate.

Do you think I should give the tenants a $100 credit for a hotel?  I feel bad because summer is brutal here, but kinda feel soft.  I don't have a system for this yet and am trying to write up a manual for future incidents.

Not that this matters, but the property and area is B+.

whats the cost of a portable unit,, to keep on hand for emergencies, 

Hotel at last resort, as long as your communicating with tenant then ask them maybe they have family or friends to stay with,, the receipt for hotel is deductible,, the concession on rent isn't.
