TL;DR
Call reception or guest relations immediately if AC isn't cooling and insist on a fix while staff is on duty; if it's still not working, ask to switch rooms. Bathrobes, slippers, and beach bags aren't always provided by default but can be requested at reception.
In some hotel buildings (not the fun-san category), bathrobes and beach bags aren't left in the room by default — ask at reception and they'll bring them.
If the AC blows air but doesn't actually cool the room, that's not normal — call reception or guest relations right away, ideally during the day while admin staff is on duty, not in the evening.
If after a repair the AC still isn't cooling within 10-15 minutes on max setting, insist on being moved to another room — in one case the switch only happened the next day.
Bathrobes aren't always in the room by default, but reception can bring them on request; slippers are also given only if you ask.
