According to a survey from Cornell University, one third of people who stay in a hotel have an allergy reaction. The reaction can range anywhere from mild to severe.

"I have chronic sinus condition. I have allergic rhinitis, which I take medication for daily, "said Scott Volpe.

Volpe has spent four out of the last six months traveling. When he stays in various hotels, he knows his allergies will take a turn for the worst.

"I would wake up not feeling good and you could see the bags under the eyes, I am pretty sensitive to environmental changes so any time I would leave my home I would have issues," Volpe said.

And then the Marriott Residence Inn offered a new concept called the pure room.

"The pure room is an allergy friendly room that basically prevents the growth of allergens, mold those types of things on all the surfaces in the room," said Bob Herrold with Marriott.

Ten rooms are selected and certified. The company promises to eliminate about 99 percent of potential allergens. The rooms are sealed off with everything inside and a shielding compound is then sprayed for a specific amount of time.

"It bonds to surfaces in the room and it is part of the conditioning in the room. What that does, once that bonds to the surface, it prevents the growth of the allergens and dust mite and mold spores," Herrold said.

The air is also clean, it even smells fresh.

"We have a purifier in each of the guest rooms. What is does is continually filters the air in the guest rooms, up to many as four to ten times an hour. There is Tetry oil that is in the HVAC system that helps treat the air and it clean, pure and nice smells," said Herrold.

One of the biggest contributing factors to the pure room is the encasements. They go on the pillows as well as the mattress. The encasement reduces the risk of bed bugs, dust mites and bacteria like mold and mildew.

The rooms are recertified quarterly and the cost to sleep in a pure room is $20 more, per night, a price well worth it for this traveler.

"Just come to my job feeling good, being able to go about doing my job and not being hindered by the things that would affect me including the runny nose and difficulty breathing and things I encounter at some of the other hotels that I stay in,” said Volpe.
