[quote=Anonymous]I'm staying in these bungalows/cabins from the 1930s, in New Mexico.  My room has been freezing and I blasted the heat, but it wouldn't warm up.  I went to the door to check if there was something open, and sure enough there is a vent at the bottom, a few inches wide.   :shock:

The door is old and I think from the original construction.  But now I'm freaked out because the heating system has a warning that it "needs ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning." (the heating system is obviously fairly recent/modern)

I went and asked the hotel manager and she said the heaters have chimneys (which it appears to have) but now I'm kind of freaked out of dying of carbon monoxide poisoning, because she didn't even seem aware of the door vent!  :(

So anyway... am I overthinking this and I'll be fine?  Or is there a necessary reason for the vent and me covering it with a blanket is a bad idea (she told me I could)?  Without covering it the room is like 10 degrees...[/quote]
