But there are times that opening doors and windows for fresh air isn't reasonable; times like winter, bad weather, traffic noise, or allergies. Fresh air sometimes means clean air, as in the case of allergies and smoggy areas. Some hotels don't have patios or windows that open so they need an alternative approach. What can be done in these various situations?
