AC is not a standard thing for hotels anywhere? That is news to me.

I am very familiar with Scandinavia, with residential properties in Scandinavia, and with Scandinavian hotels and with most such hotels and homes in the region not having any AC; but most such hotels and homes have room windows that open, while the hotels that don’t have any open-able room windows do have AC of sorts. I have stayed at over 100 major brand hotels in the Scandinavia region and have had thousands of nights in the area, so I know what to expect — including with regard to the short-comings of hotel housekeeping when hotels go from single-use toiletries to wall-mounted dispenser toiletries in the hotel rooms.

The nearby AirBNB listings are looking more favorable from a room temperature perspective and also from the perspective of having no wall-mounted toiletry dispensers.
