Newer versions of these can have par levels set for the temps and I don’t know who thinks 74f is a comfortable room temp, but no… it is not.
Fortunately, internet legends went on to explain how to put these into service mode, thereby defeating their laughable levels. Just gotta remember to put it back to their mode when you’re checking out.
But, yeah, these things fkn crank coldness. And the electric bill. And the environment.
and see if they really want to waste their time with collections
It would be the collections agency who’s time would be spent in court, not the hotel’s. And collection agencies are in the business of collecting debt, so I don’t think they would see it as a waste of time.
“Guy before me did it.” Case closed. Housekeeping ain’t checking shit. I was in Savannah and we got the maintenance guy to give us the unlocked remote for the TV, because nobody gives a fuck. You gotta remember, it’s a bunch of shlubs like us making shit money doing a ton of work. If they walk in and the room is ice cold, they’re putting the thermostat on whatever and walking away.
Good luck with that. Collection agencies don’t care a whit how valid the debt is. They just care about how much they have to inconvenience you before you’ll pay them to go away.
Afaik when talking about computers you can be charged by acessing some thing (a site or a feature) that you know you are not supposed to. The same logic may apply here. If you got into an hotel, the unit was lockedand you used some trick to get it to do what you want, it could be illegal. They do not need a sign
OK, but my point was that the hotel will have washed their hands of your debt by the time it’s at a collections agency. How much time does it take you to dispute a collection note on your credit report? I’d guess it takes less time to take the AC unit out of service mode before you check out.
I know how credit bureaus work. How often are you doing this that you’re able to find the forms, fill them out, and submit them all within seconds? Not to mention logging in to your accounts…
Even if you’re doing this all the time, it will still take longer than resetting the AC unit before you leave. I don’t know why some people seem to seek out conflicts…
I think you misinterpreted the tone of my posts, they weren’t meant to be spiteful or imply that you’re advocating for anything bad. I was just trying to point out that sometimes it’s easier to avoid conflict, even if you feel your actions are justified.
Yeah seriously, that’s a comfortable sleeping temp when you can snuggle under the blankets to stay warm, but way too cold for daytime use. I’d be pissed if my hotel kept turning down the temperature for no good reason.
Then why even have air conditioning? I would never turn it on with those temps.
Leave your windows open all night, close them in the morning when you wake up. The residual coolness will keep your house a comfortable temperature all day long. That’s what I do in the spring before the temps hit 100+.

My take was to not let them in on the secret.

Have a nice day.

Are you saying 74DEGREESFAHRENHEIT is too cold?? Or has my reading comprehension done its nightly vanishing trick?

I’m from the planet where it gets 65°F in May. And 85 in July.
