When we recently checked into our motel, the room temperature was set to “warm”. Since the room was way too hot, we cranked the AC to the max and then left for several hours.

When we returned, the room was freezing! Of course!

When we set the temperature to “cold”, we don’t know just how cold it is going to get.  Nor do we know how long it will take to cool off the room so we just crank it to the max and hope for the best.

I understand that the temperature is turned up to save money, but if I crank the temp way too low, it is going to cost the motel money.

Since they know what room we are going to be staying in, maybe it would be cheaper to adjust our room temperature before we check in.  That way, we won’t be inclined to crank the AC.
