If the AC unit is under the window and is blowing air on the bed, I’ll move a chair over to divert the air flow from the AC away from the bed.

If the hotel has central air conditioning, most people don’t know that the louvers on the front of the wall AC duct can be adjusted. If the vent face plate unit has horizontal louvers, each louver can each be easily rotated up or down, if they are vertical then they can be rotated left or right or any position in between. I have on numerous occasions adjusted these louvers to divert the blast of air on me while sleeping.

During the day if the window AC unit is blowing on me while I am sitting at the desk or work table in the room, and it seems almost in all the hotel room the work desk is right next to the AC unit, sometimes I will drape a towel over the part of the vent that is blowing on me, and weigh it down with something heavy, like my attaché case to prevent it from blowing off. I just had this problem last week at a Doubletree in Las Vegas.
