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.
The first thing I do every time I step into a hotel room is check the filter. If it’s dirty, then I bring it to the front desk to show them. I always get a free upgrade… to another room with an equally dirty filter. Which at that point I remove it and toss it in the stairwell to let it be maintenance’s problem. I can’t be bothered to put in more effort than that if the staff can’t be bothered to replace their filters.
and may god help you if the unit is right next to the bed
Then don’t forget your tauntaun sleeping bag.
There’s something about walking into a motel room with this AC blowing at full power after being at the beach all day that just can’t be beat.
Had one of these at a hotel in Utah. It was hot as balls outside, but damn did this thing keep it frosty inside. And yeah, its loud, but at least it drowned out my dads snoring.

I love background noise. Drown out the road sound, people eating, snoring, get rid of it all. Bless the hums of modern industry
Sure wish they were quiet enough to sleep through.
Ok you are batshit crazy because fan noise is like the best way to get to sleep ever
After rain sounds.
The only issue is the older ones tend to be very loud especially when they turn on in the middle of the night.

That’s a rookie move. Leave the fan on at full blast all night, and then you won’t hear the difference when the AC kicks in, plus it’s a free white-noise machine
Exactly what I do, I need a fan and white noise when I sleep. Plus it muffles my chainsaw snoring.
