    They also made a crapton of noise. The hotels often didn’t change the filter, so you’d instantly get a stuffy nose when you walked in. They were always right under the curtain, so it would recirculate the air caught in the curtain and cycle off and on too much because the air temp fluctuated too much.

    I spend a lot of time in hotels. It was always a mixed bag with these. If you got a good one it was almost an exception rather than the rule.

      Yep. I see one and I know I’m not going to wake up on Hoth because if I leave it on, I’m not going to sleep in the first place.

      The curtain thing was a major pain in the ass; same with the noise. I’ve mostly been lucky with decent ones I guess, but I’ve spent a ton of time in shitty hotels.

        I live in hotels more than half the time, here’s the pro tip- take a hanger with clips from the closet and use it to clip the curtains above and behind the vents. Or just open the curtains, nobody cares what you’re doing in there.
