You can select either option: one comes with a fan, the other doesn’t. As long as you have AC in your hotel room or Airbnb, you shouldn’t need the fan. This tent is a blackout savior, especially for preserving nap time (without daylight confusion) & avoiding extra early rising (if your room doesn’t have blackout curtains, or if you prefer to be awake in daylight before your baby awakes!) Our son’s sleep trainer recommended this tent and we haven’t traveled without it since! LTKKids LTKTravel LTKBaby
