How to compensate for the trapped hotel elevator?

Students were trapped in the hotel elevator, which caused them to fail to complete the college entrance examination and caused losses to students. The hotel shall be liable for breach of contract and compensate students for examination fees, study fees and living expenses.

According to the law, elevators are special equipment, and their production, operation and use have their own particularity. Elevator users should carry out regular maintenance and self-inspection, and make records. Whether the hotel has fulfilled these obligations according to law remains to be verified.

According to reports, the installation date of the elevator is September 20 18 12, and the latest maintenance time is June 20 19 1 day. The elevator has not been put into use for a long time, and the maintenance time is only one week away from the fault. When the elevator itself is in such a "superior" state, the fault occurs. Is it the quality problem of the elevator itself or the maintenance problem? Such a problem cannot be avoided.
