That does not make it uninhabitable so your landlord is not responsible for the hotel.

Not that would cost less than having to stay in a hotel for a weekend.

Yes, you may potentially have claims relating to the diminution of fair market rental value for the property you rent, as well as damages stemming from the necessity of seeking substitute services at a hotel. You should contact a lawyer in your area who may be able to assist you.
