Motel fabric softener!

This weekend I stayed at a motel I've never stayed at before. First off, they gave me a smoking room (last one available). I told them I'd check it out if I can stay in there. I walked in- no smoke smell.   I told the okay I'd take it.

I'm sorry you had to go thru that and yes, traveling can be dangerous!

Hi Joy,
I once made the mistake you just did, and now I make reservations ahead. I call before arriving to make sure there is a non-smoking room - and have asked for a different room when I smelled that the room had been smoked in despite the label.

I'm allergic to the detergents motels and hospitals use. I can ask for double-rinsed sheets in the hospital. I take my own sheets and pillow when travelling.

I only use All Free and Clear detergent - no sulfites. I double rinse everything.

Take your own bath soap, shampoo and skin creams too!

Sometimes even if you ask for a smoke free room there still no
guarntee it'll be smoke free< I've stayed in smoke free rooms and
they actually had worse smells in those than a regular room..
So yeah travel is 50-50 chance of being hazardous, so totally agree
with you, you should've told them and asked them to pay for a new cpap
mask, Sure hope your feeling better soon and that this'll not
happen again...
Healing hugz and wishes...

My cousin made the reservation for me. He messed up on ordering the room.
I had my own pillow, soap, and shampoo.
It wasn't the mask needing replacement, it was the air filter. I get all my cpap supplies free so I couldn't ask for a replacement charge.

I use All free and clear and downy free for my sheets.

sorry...i have been in bad trouble too while traveling. i have come down with viruses because of the weather change (used to go from northeast - very cold to texas - warmish during the christmas holidays) last time i traveled i came down with a bad tooth, needed medicine for dizziness which i did not have (usually) don't need that and the airline personnel were horrible to me with their searches, etc. now i just drive around new england or take the train to nyc and stay with friends.

I'm off again the next two days. My Aunt died suddenly last night and I'm heading back to the same town I was in last weekend. :(
I'm going to have to stay at the same motel again. >:<
This time my pillow, my blanket, and my towels are coming!
I've go back up filters for the Cpap so I won't be bring home the odors in it.

Thank you, Sherry.

We didn't stay in the same hotel again.
The one we wound up staying did have a faint smoke odor in the bathroom, but when we turned on the fan it wasn't so bad and it didn't bother me much.
I slept on my own pillow and covered up with blankets from my house. Aside from a noisy air conditioner I was able to sleep okay and woke up with just a little coughing.
