We have moved the next level up beyond peanuts on airlines to costly hotel rooms that are fragrance free and offer a more soothing atmosphere. Most are stating they have a minimal amount of dust and the cost for such a room may be an additional $20 or $30 a night. Is this marketing,fulfilling a need or both?

Brian Brault, chief executive of Pure Solutions, the company that installs and maintains Hyatt’s hypoallergenic rooms, said more than 200 hotels nationwide, including properties at several major brands, had Pure Solutions rooms, but Hyatt was the first to offer them across its brands. Some hotel conference centers also use the technology, he said.
Be specific with your requests. If you require a sleep mask and a room on a quiet floor, the staff may provide the mask and book your room on a floor with no children.
