The verdict? I had no chest tightness at any point, which for me is a big bonus. Usually it takes a day, if I'm lucky, in a new environment for chest tightness to dissipate. Of course that's if I'm lucky. I've stayed in hotels where chest tightness turned into a wheezy mess and we had to change rooms, leave the hotel or cut our stay in that whole city entirely! So staying in a room for over 12 hours straight, remember I was testing it, and not having any chest tightness gets a big woo hoo from this allergic girl.

 

Pure Rooms is a great concept in allergen-friendly travel I hope it will succeed as I'd love to be able to visit a major city and have the option of staying in a room that is low to no allergens. You can book a Pure room now through the website. Pure Rooms are available in 53 hotels nationally and more are signing on to the Pure program every month. As of 2009, Wyndham Hotels will feature them in all of their hotels -- they will call them Clear Air rooms.
