How should I get a cool breeze through the window going into my poorly located room?

It's a cool night outside, and my room is still quite hot even with my windows open. My room is the only room in the house where the no wind goes through the window. How should I cool my room down?

    Make sure your door is open to allow a cross breeze.

    Are you sure your window is not an exhaust window? (Heat from the rest of the house exiting out your window.) If this is the case, your room will be the last to cool down

    If possible close some of the windows down wind (exhaust windows).

    Alternately:

    If your window is a Sash type window, you may be able to purchase a indow fan with dual fans. This unit fits into the open window space and each fan has speed and direction controls.

    Link to a typical window dual fan:

    Setting options (Each fan in the above link also has 2 speed settings - High, Low):

    1: Both fans can be set to blow air from the outside into your room..

    2: Both fans can be set to blow from your room to the outside.

    3: One fan can be set to blow out of your room while the other fan can be set to blow air from the outside into your room

    Honeywell Window Fan has 3 speed and can be controled same as the previous window fan:
