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.
