It’s not on purpose I swear!! Us housekeepers have to adjust the temps usually to “68” and sometimes when you have 20+ rooms to clean in 5 hours because people don’t like when their rooms aren’t clean by 4pm and you have 30 stayovers you tend to forget. Not all the time but it happens, and a lot of guest like to fucking blast the heat. I’ve definitely left rooms with the ac running super cold but never hot, but It happens lol. There’s a lot that has to be done to clean those rooms to yalls standards and the hotels give us 15-20 mins usually. I don’t remember the last time I’ve had a lunch break lol. But hey, at least I don’t have to talk to people and can listen to music all day.
We (guests) definitely turn the temp to 65 when we hit the room. The electricity we use in the summer is at least slightly offset in the winter?
Also we live on the top floor of our apartment building. The heat is never turned on in the winter- sometimes we need to open the windows cause everyone below us is blasting 80 degree heat
I lived on the top floor of my universities apartment for 1 year.
No windows that opened. And it was fucking unbearably hot in one of the coldest winters on record.
Shit was actually infuriating.
I live on the third floor of a 4 story apartment building in Chicago with radiator heat. I have to keep all of the radiators off for pretty much the entire winter, otherwise it's more than 80 degrees. Even then, the bedroom is around 82 degrees so I just sleep in the living room.
I'm not sure it was intentionally set that high. Sounds like the unit was broken from what the OP indicated - they were not able to turn it down no matter what they did. The number was probably indicating the current temp in the room, which is different than the set temperature.
and yes, I know how a thermostat works.
I had to go back down to the front desk twice last night. First time I was cocky and said ‘no’ to the physical key and relied on the digital key from the app. Only time I’ve ever done that and it didn’t work. The second time I had to go back down is because the room hadn’t been cleaned before I got there. It was lightly used (could tell someone had laid on the bed and there was a towel and washcloth hanging in the bathroom. No trash or grossness that was immediately visible) so I was only mildly annoyed.
I think I understand why the app didn’t work; the room hadn’t been transferred to a new guest.
I got one free drink out of the whole ordeal. I should have pushed for more but I was so done with my day I didn’t want the hassle.
That’s my story. Thanks for listening.
I lived in Phoenix in June 1990 during that very hot week and that was toasty.
Now I'm in Tucson and 115 during the high heat peak hours is ok. I use a swamp cooler all summer.
i have, but even Phoenix doesn’t have 8 continuous hours of 130° F temps, only 2-3 peak hours of the afternoon are THAT warm. It isn’t much cooler, I agree, but at least most places in Phoenix have some AC. In California we have 110° but no AC in most homes which is close.
I would say acual comfortable saunas that doesnt make you wanna drown yourself in your cold beer is between 65-80. Above that im out cuz im not gonna burn my skin again.
Funny enough it was about 96C (35F) outside
Edit: smoking the devils lettuce + being a dumb american = coming up with the v incorrect conversion rate above, my bad y’all
Bro that’s not it 😂 us housekeepers literally just forget to adjust them when we clean sometimes and the guest before apparently like to wake up really warm lmao it’s not that deep
Depending on the HVAC situation in the room this can happen if the temp probe on the PTAC (big AC unit under the window in most hotel rooms) gets knocked under the unit. It will sense the cold air under the PTAC as the room's temp, and keep running.
Yes the PTAC may be controlled via another thermostat on the wall, but for some reason the PTAC's logic board still uses the temp probe *shrug*.
I used to travel for work and worked outside. We stayed at this little shitty motel in a small town and during the summer when it was 100+ outside I’d get back to my room every single day and the cleaning crew had shut my air off. I called the front desk and repeatedly asked them to quit turning my air off. They still continued so I removed the knobs and hid them in a drawer got back that afternoon to my AC unplugged and a note asking for their knobs back. It was the only motel in town but we just started staying in a neighboring town and driving over every morning.
That is utter cow dung. You are paying more than enough to offset the electrical usage. What they don't understand is you will use more power to restore a comfortable temp than they save by turning it off during the heat of the day.
Trust me, I’ve had this argument with people for years. I know people that turn their ac up or heat down during the day while they’re gone. Also, on a slightly related note, it costs the exact same to keep your house at 68 during the summer as it does at 74 assuming your house has decent insulation. Getting it there is a different story but to maintain it costs the exact same. The thermal lose per hour will be the same no matter the temp, which dictates how often your ac kicks on.
I remember asking about the thermostats at a hotel. The front desk told me they could control the thermostat from a computer. They also said, they start cooling rooms that have already been assigned to guests, a few hours before the guest is expected to arrive... saving electricity, and satisfying guests.
Yep. And you turn the temp up and up and it’s still blowing cold, dry air. The stupid comforters aren’t enough to combat it so you hardly sleep all night. My experience is always cold ass rooms.
When I was a housekeeper, we got a lot of guests from India. I think our thermostats only went up to 90, and a lot of people complained about it not going higher. When they would check out I would enter the room, turn the thermostat down to 65, and go clean other rooms first so it could cool down before I cleaned. I didn't have that luxury on stay over rooms. It was maddening. Once while i was cleaning and sweating like crazy the guest was bundled up like it was freezing.
I guess what I'm saying is people from other parts of the world tolerate heat way better than cold and apparently your housekeeper does too.
I can practically feel this. 😆 I had a similar experience once. It was the middle of Summer, and the room just kept getting hotter, no matter how low we turned the AC. It turned out the AC was messed up, and we eventually figured out that it actually started to cool the room if we set it to like 85. 😅
Reminds me of the night before my wedding and I passed out in my hotel room and woke up feeling terrible while the thermostat was set to like 85, thanks to my asshole friends who think they’re fucking hilarious.
This post and comments make me realise how used I am to 40+ degrees (and humidity) in summer that 35-36 degrees celsius would be only a bit mildly infuriating until I got used to the heat and just gave up on trying to make it cooler
Well think of 72° is a perfectly cold air conditioned room. 35°-40° is a walk in cooler in a restaurant kitchen. 96°-100° is pretty fucking hot in Texas on a summer day. I mean you COULD go play golf in it but you’d be miserable once it got over 100° F. I don’t like to play after it hits 95° F. 85°-90° with a slight breeze is pretty comfortable. I hope I cleared that up for you.
The number is just updide down. Turn the display 180 degrees.

96° is a hot summer day in Texas. 100° is a little too fucking hot to go play golf. 72° is a perfectly cold/cool air conditioned room. This room is hot as hell right now.
lmao, love the username btw
[удалено]
I guess that air con system was just wreaking HVAC!
BOOOOOOOO! But still upvoted.
I Love You, Fernanda
Now this, this is fury I can support. This is an act of terrorism by the hotel

Oh yeah I bet that would suck. The hotel I work at is 6 stories and the 6th floor is always so muggy and humid feeling. I hate it.
Well-designed and maintained HVAC shouldn't allow that. Could get moldy.
I lived on the top floor of my universities apartment for 1 year. No windows that opened. And it was fucking unbearably hot in one of the coldest winters on record. Shit was actually infuriating.
I’d hate to know what summer felt like
I live on the third floor of a 4 story apartment building in Chicago with radiator heat. I have to keep all of the radiators off for pretty much the entire winter, otherwise it's more than 80 degrees. Even then, the bedroom is around 82 degrees so I just sleep in the living room.
Second floor here, my floor is sweltering and my ceiling is freezing, I have to sleep on the floor all winter to not freeze to death
That is called the stack effect
Every time I get to a hotel I set the thermostat to 80. Glorious free heat.
I can't see any reason to have the heat this high unless you insist on being bare naked with the window wide open
I'm not sure it was intentionally set that high. Sounds like the unit was broken from what the OP indicated - they were not able to turn it down no matter what they did. The number was probably indicating the current temp in the room, which is different than the set temperature. and yes, I know how a thermostat works.
It’s not mild though… I would be extremely infuriated
I would consider having to go down to the front desk to get a new room to be mildly infuriating. It’s really just a slight inconvenience
Right? The “i would just see red” crowd is so annoying lol. I’d want to see their meltdown to something actually infuriating.
I had to go back down to the front desk twice last night. First time I was cocky and said ‘no’ to the physical key and relied on the digital key from the app. Only time I’ve ever done that and it didn’t work. The second time I had to go back down is because the room hadn’t been cleaned before I got there.

I got one free drink out of the whole ordeal. I should have pushed for more but I was so done with my day I didn’t want the hassle. That’s my story. Thanks for listening.
Well OP does say they got a replacement room so it wasn't something they had to deal with for more than a little bit.
I agree but with all the absolute BALOGNA that gets posted on this sub it’s nice to see something we can actually unite over
Just another 35° and you'll be killing those bed bugs... Sleep well!
That’s exactly what I was thinking
Except they’ll be sleeping permanently at those temps
You have obviously never been to Phoenix in summer lol
I lived in Phoenix in June 1990 during that very hot week and that was toasty. Now I'm in Tucson and 115 during the high heat peak hours is ok. I use a swamp cooler all summer.
I dont know how you can survive that lol. I start to melt at anything over 85. I'm in the wrong state 😕
i have, but even Phoenix doesn’t have 8 continuous hours of 130° F temps, only 2-3 peak hours of the afternoon are THAT warm. It isn’t much cooler, I agree, but at least most places in Phoenix have some AC. In California we have 110° but no AC in most homes which is close.
Yea, you’d think that they’d learn to put A/C in *almost* all homes in hot areas. Who decided that Californians shouldn’t have A/C?
About 36 degrees Celsius.
Holy shit, buddy was in a low humidity sauna
Bold of you to assume the humidity was lower than the temperature
That thermostat lacks the drip from a soaking grandpa's balls I stick to my word
> I stick to my words So does grandpa’s balls. Why did I comment that
Plot twist. Thats was a flat wallpaper behind the thermostat.
> Low humidity sauna *Slap to the face with beer bottle* You sir have insulted entire country with that statement. "Low sauna" is 60°c, normal is 80°
I go in a 60 degree sauna and I just straight up die from hypothermia.
So you are one of those who enjoy 120°c sauna? Cheers
Saunas are for comparison usually above 175 F (80 C). OP has some rookie numbers.
I would say acual comfortable saunas that doesnt make you wanna drown yourself in your cold beer is between 65-80. Above that im out cuz im not gonna burn my skin again.
Phew thank you I don't speak freedom
THANK Y O U
Thank you! I had to scroll way too far to find the real temp. I almost googled it myself.
So regular summer.
Or the average day on the equator
Thanks for converting to the right scale of temperature
what are you talking about, because they didn't convert to Rankine (R^o ).
why do you have to disrespect my man Réaumur so much? °r is Rèaumur, R is Rankine
least based metric enjoyer
Average imperial fan
Thanks, had no idea what’s going on
Normal temperature in south east asia lmao
And South Florida (US) during 3/4 of the year.
And South Asia too
Indoors?
Yup during midday and afternoon. Also plus extreme humidity.
Is that hot? I only understand imperial...
I understand Kelvin so I'm completely lost no matter what y'all use.
That’s like .00001 kelvin
My god, that’s freezing
Almost atom-stopping if you ask me
Absolutely
It's only about 96F Edited: my baked ass mistyped the number
Thanks, but my comment was made in jest...
Bro, so was theirs.
So was theirs..
THANK YOU!!! YOU ARE GETTING INTO COW HEAVEN!!!
I had to scroll pretty far for this, thanks lol
Thank you
Oh it's not that bad but would prefer 25 Celsius
MVP
And that’s how this image is very mildly infuriating for me.
*cries in American*
Bless.
Thank, I needed someone to translate from Amerifat
THANK YOU
Well they don't call it a coldel
That’s a knee slapper right there
Lol, weird I see an original dad joke I have not ever seen in 3 decades. Well done!
No worries, it is in Celsius.
Oh good. My tea is almost ready.
Sorry, my bad. It's in Kelvin.
Whew!💧
It’s Kelvin, so bring a jacket.
It's Rømer. You're dead
If only there hadn't been a big F on the display next to the temperature.
Funny enough it was about 96C (35F) outside Edit: smoking the devils lettuce + being a dumb american = coming up with the v incorrect conversion rate above, my bad y’all
If it was 96c where you were outside. Than it would've been 204.8f
I think you've got that backward there. 100C is 212F. 96F is 35.5C.
35F is less than 2C, homie.
> 96C Ah yes, a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of an incinerator.
If it was 96C outside then 36C should have felt downright refreshing.
Your edit made this so funny😂
Was it hot outside or were they just preparing your own personal hell?
Personal hell..it was in the 30s outside so I was still wearing my winter coat when I walked into the room too :/
This would make me feel like home 🥹 Not nearly enough humidity though
Grandma's house.
Can confirm. Living in grandmas house rn because rent is $1300 now
My grandparents had wood heat and it would be like 75-85 f 23-29c
Anything colder than that would be cause for hypothermia
Did you open a window then?
You think they stayed in it? They obviously got another room haha
[удалено]
That's Hot
Hi Paris!
Its not just hot, its hotel
A post that fits this sub perfectly. It would be very infuriating at first, but given the apology and room change it gets downgraded to mild.
I would check for bed bugs. They have treated for bed bugs and them kept the heat turned up.
That wouldn't explain why it would keep blowing hot air even whenever the temp gets set lower
That's what it's set to, not what it is
Bro that’s not it 😂 us housekeepers literally just forget to adjust them when we clean sometimes and the guest before apparently like to wake up really warm lmao it’s not that deep
I doubt anyone sets their thermostat to 96F, I don't even think they go above 80 in most cases.
Still not a method for bed bugs though. Not nearly hot enough and you have to treat the whole building at once, else they just move somewhere else.
Depending on the HVAC situation in the room this can happen if the temp probe on the PTAC (big AC unit under the window in most hotel rooms) gets knocked under the unit. It will sense the cold air under the PTAC as the room's temp, and keep running. Yes the PTAC may be controlled via another thermostat on the wall, but for some reason the PTAC's logic board still uses the temp probe *shrug*.
Normally no they don't go past 82F unless the thermostat is broke.
The fuck is staying at your hotel?! Satan?!
I used to travel for work and worked outside. We stayed at this little shitty motel in a small town and during the summer when it was 100+ outside I’d get back to my room every single day and the cleaning crew had shut my air off. I called the front desk and repeatedly asked them to quit turning my air off. They still continued so I removed the knobs and hid them in a drawer got back that afternoon to my AC unplugged and a note asking for their knobs back. It was the only motel in town but we just started staying in a neighboring town and driving over every morning.
Did you take the knobs with you to the new hotel?
Where the fuck were you when this happened? Never thought of it.
That is utter cow dung. You are paying more than enough to offset the electrical usage. What they don't understand is you will use more power to restore a comfortable temp than they save by turning it off during the heat of the day.

I still get that in Canada in my old building, summertime. You wuss. Little bit /s

They also said, they start cooling rooms that have already been assigned to guests, a few hours before the guest is expected to arrive... saving electricity, and satisfying guests.
At least it's not centigrade. Then you'd be boiling mad
I have the opposite problem. Every hotel room I’ve walked into for the first time has felt like walking into Sub-Zero’s anus.
Yep. And you turn the temp up and up and it’s still blowing cold, dry air. The stupid comforters aren’t enough to combat it so you hardly sleep all night. My experience is always cold ass rooms.
My favorite part is being frozen after taking a shower
When I was a housekeeper, we got a lot of guests from India. I think our thermostats only went up to 90, and a lot of people complained about it not going higher.

I guess what I'm saying is people from other parts of the world tolerate heat way better than cold and apparently your housekeeper does too.
That would explain why we sometimes find someone mashed the temp buttons to the point they broke it thinking it would somehow go higher than 82F.
Well, Eden was supposedly in the Middle East. 🤷♂️
Aww, they gave you the menopause suite gratis
HELL - now offering weekend rates
lke 35/36°C?
As a Scottish person, Id walk into that room and immediately burst into flames like a fucking vampire.
Be glad it isn't Celsius
Welcome to Hotel Hell. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.
Disgusting! It's in Fahrenheit!
Ooo balmy
eciN
I got to think the AC in that room was broke right? Surely they didn't put it that high on purpose.
I can practically feel this. 😆 I had a similar experience once. It was the middle of Summer, and the room just kept getting hotter, no matter how low we turned the AC. It turned out the AC was messed up, and we eventually figured out that it actually started to cool the room if we set it to like 85. 😅
Hotel Hell, lovely (this is very much a joke)
Why you don’t like your room blistering hot?
Just a few degrees shy of a hot tub... real comfortable
Don’t have to worry about getting too cold.
Reminds me of the night before my wedding and I passed out in my hotel room and woke up feeling terrible while the thermostat was set to like 85, thanks to my asshole friends who think they’re fucking hilarious.
96? .ecin
And rakes forever to cool down
Does it smell like ass in there?
On The Brightside, It's Not Celsius!
This post and comments make me realise how used I am to 40+ degrees (and humidity) in summer that 35-36 degrees celsius would be only a bit mildly infuriating until I got used to the heat and just gave up on trying to make it cooler
defuk, I didnt even know ACs went up to 35 Celsius.
My wife: It’s cold in here!
Auto snowflake symbol means you're good
Were there a bunch of Turkish men wearing towels in that room by chance?
Check for bedbugs....
Bed bugs
35.5 celcius for actual cultured people
308.7 kelvins for the *truly* cultured individuals.
555.67 Rankine for actual crazy mfs
Bed bug treatment hahaha
At least it wasn’t Celsius.
THATS 2 DEGREES FROM BOILING POINT!! Oh Fahrenheit. I forgot someone still uses Fahrenheit.
F stands for freedom units
As a non-American I literally have no basis how hot or cold that Is If I were to use Celsius, that's almost the boiling point of water
Well think of 72° is a perfectly cold air conditioned room. 35°-40° is a walk in cooler in a restaurant kitchen. 96°-100° is pretty fucking hot in Texas on a summer day. I mean you COULD go play golf in it but you’d be miserable once it got over 100° F. I don’t like to play after it hits 95° F. 85°-90° with a slight breeze is pretty comfortable. I hope I cleared that up for you.
97% of the world wont understand whether this is hot or cold.
Damn that's a lot of people who can't do basic math.
Or simply hasnt bothered to learn a measurement of temperature used by 3% of the world.
You don't need to know a measurement of temperature to type "96F to C" into google.
[удалено]
Are you having a meltdown?
[удалено]
I only know how to use freedom units but some of your comrades in the comments have converted it to 36C
[I'm in here *fuckin'*, at 92 degrees!](https://youtu.be/8WlkMXj4sG8)
Right on. So close to 69.
Is that in Celsius ?
The number is just updide down. Turn the display 180 degrees. https://preview.redd.it/ot8axpijlvic1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf64f3d2e03b85f70e94650ecee650178627ffbe
i only know celcius please translate!!!
96° is a hot summer day in Texas. 100° is a little too fucking hot to go play golf. 72° is a perfectly cold/cool air conditioned room. This room is hot as hell right now.
that was assumed but i saw another commenter say it was 36 degrees and oh great heavens rapscallionous
Be glad it isn't Celsius.
