COLD HOTEL ROOMS & complaints

What is it about hotels that make them install a huge frickin' air conditioner in EVERY ROOM?

 As you may or may not have noticed, I was not able to post anything recently. Well that was because I was having one of two planned family vacations for the summer. And last weekend, we decided to visit Atlantic City, New Jersey and spend the weekend there. Of course, being a holiday (July 4), tourism was at its peak and more than once, we were stuck in traffic. Prices were higher, parking was on demand, and it proved true that "the early bird gets the worm".

So, being that extreme overlord of planning that she is, my mom happily booked us a hotel which was located but a mere 1 minute tread to from the boardwalk. We stayed at a place called "Super 8" for the next 2 nights and 3 days.

However, upon entering our room, whose location was already a disappointment because of the lack of a view and being on the top floor and the back, we all found out that it was tiny and the perks were not as good as they looked in their website. And to top it off?

IT WAS FRICKIN' COLD ALL THE TIME

AND I HAD NO INTERNETZ D:<

-_-

We sure got $350s worth of hotel facilities there. (sarcasm)

So the point of this blog is to talk about hotels and their investments in air conditioning.

Risky?

Necessary?

Wasteful?

Are they doing it on purpose so that they can increase their prices (because of electricity costs)?

In all honesty, I think the hotel managements are wasting so many resources just by doing this. What is the point of providing comforters when it is physically 90 degrees outside? Why do they waste energy when it gets naturally gets cold at night?

I may not make sense right now, but I've been to too many hotels that keep air conditioning on constantly (even duing the day when we're out).
