Intake or exhaust

I had another room come available to me. It’s 10x7. And I’m planning to set it to with some 8ft shelves (2 4ft sections so can double stack t5 lights) for early veg and clones.
The room has no windows or anything just a screen door on it. I have noticed the room is always hot even if I put a regular fan at door blowing in (85ish) while the rest of the house is cool(70).

I have only 1area I can put a hole in a wall to put a fan that wouldn’t be too obvious (otherwise it would be venting into living room or kitchen)

which would be better for cooling it. A exhaust fan to blow the warm air out and suck in the air conditioned air from the rest of the house through the screen? Or a intake fan from that same room and it would the exit through screen door.

Vent out of the house, pulling AC air in from the house.
From this room there is no way to vent out of house. It can either vent into an unused bathroom. Or pull cool air from that unused bathroom. Every other room around it is 10ft+ of my main living spaces with kids and people over before a exterior wall.

If you live where the humidity is low just box out and vent up into the attic,make it look like an access to your attic. As Rurumo said above just put a vent for intake threw the wall for fresh air from a temperature controlled part of the house

Vent to bathroom that hopefully has a bathroom fan you can use for pushing air outside; uprgrade it with an inline fan

Maybe move one of your kid grows into the 10×7 and use their bedroom for vegging. Kids don't need much ventilation.
