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.
