Fan for travel .. someone here recommended and maybe linked a fan

I just pulled the trigger on this one for our Europe trip this summer

Also, depending on time of year, they might not even the A/C on. We were in Paris in early October and found our room warm and stuffy. Tried to turn A/C on and it didn't work. Asked front desk and they said they had the entire A/C system shut off at that time of year.

I usually buy one in the country in in and leave it behind.

some won’t let you adjust it past 74 or 76

This is a thing, but not in at least Marriott brands. I had this happen at the Mercur hotel I stayed at near the Colosseum, which only served to reinforce my Marriott brand or bust stance. The Mercur told me to open my windows (directly above the dumpster on the 3rd floor) and gave e a fan that was so ineffective I laid on top of the the sheets for weeks.

Thanks all .. this will be in July. It’s them my time my daughter can leave for a 10 day stretch.

Hotel has ac but the comments about no real adjustment ability make me nervous.

We have this one.

It awesome. Its battery operated, so we use for power outages and camping as well.

Brands that Americans stay in (Marriott, etc.) are going to be less tolerant of "green" initiatives like limiting AC use, unless they're required to by law. In reality, if you need a fan to sleep, it's going to have to be a box fan or something that you can't travel with.

You can order stuff from Amazon.co.uk and have it delivered to your hotel. I did it in Brussels for a number of shipments. Try to schedule the delivery the day before you check in, and send the hotel an email a day or two before hand warning them.

ETA: You can keep the AC on when you leave the room by tearing off a part of the cardboard they give you your key in and shoving it in the "energy saving" occupancy card that they want you to put your key in."

This is what you're looking for. It's perfect for travel
