Traveling with Allergies? Avoid California.
Recent articles on travel trends indicate that travelers are looking for more personal customization in their room stays. One company - Pure Rooms - is featuring rooms in specific major hotel chains - in specific cities - that are certified with the maximum cleanliness and allergy free state.
Pure Rooms have the following special features:
- All surfaces are treated to avoid the allergy issues of conventional hotel rooms.
- Over 1,500 hotel rooms are currently available with the Pure Room system.
- The company’s own techs handle the room cleaning and replacement of special filtration equipment for the air.
It all sounds great - except in December 2007 - we were unable to find a single hotel room for San Francisco - or even anywhere in California.
With our family’s allergies - this type of hotel room would be a welcome change - and we are hoping that it can be provided soon for the San Francisco area. Kimpton Hotels operates many hotels around San Francisco - and does special cleaning after pets are in a room. But this type of cleaning - post-pet - is a fraction of what Pure rooms would be.
Consider this post to be an open invitation to the San Francisco hotel community to offer this level of allergy protection - for at least a fraction of rooms in San Francisco. We’re sure it is coming soon, but we need it sooner.
