Please help, I need a good hotel for an allergic child

I thought it was fine but it didn't seem cleaner than any other hotels. If I recall correctly it has comforters and I know it has carpet and even a couch, as well as a couple beach ball pillows that looked a little grimy. I don't think they do special allergy treatments, either.

Regarding PPH, I completely agree. Drapes, carpet, couch, and some extra grimy beach ball pillows. No dirtier than anywhere else, but no cleaner either. OP, wherever you decide, I think you're going to have to call ahead and make special arrangements. I wouldn't feel confident recommending any neighboring hotel without them taking special measures if your kiddo's allergy is that severe.
 
Anabella is maybe a ten minute walk from PPH. As long as you aren't carrying a three year old because your husband said "ah, just rent a stroller in the parks, it seems like too much to deal with at the airport" ut your three year old didn't agree with not having a stroller going to and from the hotel, you should be fine.

Though I found absolutely nothing grimy or dirty about PPH at all last week, and the ball pillows were bright and sparkly clean.
 
We are definetly having 2 strollers for the 3 and 1 year olds.

And hubby and I were talking yesterday that the best scenario from our WDW hotels always was walking from the room to the bus stop, sometimes waiting a long time and a long line, fumbling with all the stuff to load ourselves in it (as pp mentioned) and then getting at the drop off of the park, or getting to our rental, waiting for the tram (or waking to the front when we didn´t want to fumble with everything just for the tram ride), do the ferry or monorail, so taking this all into account, Anabella is looking mighty good.

And the price difference is about $ 1,400 USD, that´s a lot, we fly from Mexico, so it is a lot of money just from the airline tickets.
 
DO IT....Keep checking AB deals too...if you go to their page and click on promo section. I have gotten smokin' deals. I stay there when the DLH is too much!

Only probs I have ever had were very odd stuff, room wasn't what they told me at front desk (they changed it fast), random call about my luggage still being there after check out (I was already home), others have said it is kinda noisy, but I have never noticed.

Good luck!
 

I have severe Asthma and allergies as long as I am on my medications, I have never had any problems with any hotels that we stayed at Disneyland, Hojos, and the grand Californian. My house is fully allergic proof, no curtains, hardware floors throughout the entire house, sheet barriers, etc... I am quite surprised that the carpets/ curtains don't seem to bother me, but its the medications that help keep the reactions at bay. Is your daughter taking anything for her asthma and allergies?

This is good to know, maybe I am being too careful, she is currently on 5ml of Zyrtec a day and a nasal spray (Avamys, not sure of the american name for it).

But she is also getting the allergy shots and will still be getting them once a week when we go to DL.

Our house is the same as yours, and has been for years, even before the diagnose, so this is why I am extra nervous about taking her to a carpeted environment.

On the other hand, she has flown many times and has never had trouble with the airplanes, that are carpeted, etc.

I wouldn't be too worried. I also have a pretty severe dust mite allergy and asthma, but am fine at all of the DLR hotels. Actually, the only time I have ever had problems while traveling with my dust mite allergy is when I stay at my mother in law's home. This is because she is a real pack rat, and the room we stay in has tons of old books, clothes and magazines (not to mention very old shag carpet and curtains). Even when staying there, as long as I don't disturb things too much (like picking up the piles of old clothes, going through the closets, looking in old books)--it is more of annoyace. I double up on my medication there, and bring Benadryl to take at night if I need it. I still tend to cough some and wheeze a bit--but that is to be expected in a house like that.

But in a hotel with very low pile carpet that is kept clean--I am perfectly fine as far as dust mites. Most hotels these days double sheet the bed--putting a sheet over the blankets, trapping any airborne allergens.

I think it is more ideal to have hardwood floors or hard surface floors for living in at your house if you have a dust mite allergy, but for a hotel it is perfectly fine to have a low pile carpet for a short visit at a hotel by a dust mite allergic individual. The most important thing is that the hotel has a basic level of cleanliness. The only time I have been worried about that is in some cheaper places I have stayed over the years (they may not be as concerned with customer satisfaction or are unable to pay their cleaning staff adequately, leading to poor hygene at the hotel).

Thank you, I guess that since she was diagnosed just last month and the past couple of years have been a nightmare I am being overly cautious.

Zyrtec is good and I'm sure that nasal spray is fine. Does she take anything for her Asthma? You might want to get her an inhaler just in case she starts to wheeze or chest fills tight that will help open up her airways.
 
Thank you, Anabella is looking quite interesting, but seems a bit far.

I can´t find in their website information about whether they have or not transportation to the parks.

We have 3 girls, 9, 3 and 1, so probably we would want to go back to the hotel at midday and the walk is looking a bit heavy to do it twice a day.

We are considering Paradise Pier, any opinions?

Annabella is only 5 min walk further away than the Paradise Pier Hotel.

Its not really a far walk maybe 15 min, very do able. I have stayed at BW Stovalls near Coco's which is about the same distance as Annabella.

She doesn´t have asthma, only allergies :goodvibes

Seriously. We had spiders in our room (believe it or not, that was a first!), there was black mold in the corner of the bathroom, and stains all over the carpet. And, this was one of the more recently remodeled rooms.

The Hyatt looks lovely. I have been hearing more and more good things and we will be giving them a try soon ourselves.
 
We were completely decided to stay at Anabella, since all the reviews have been very good and we could get a hard floor room, but my mom has Marriott rewards and gave us enough points to pay the Fairfield Inn for 6 nights :banana:

So I researched the FFI and it has very good reviews too, but I was still concerned for my daughter and prefered paying for the Anabella, well, the great news is that the FFI has allergy friendly rooms too :cheer2:

Now we are even closer to the gates, yay!!!

So I just wanted to post this in case anyone else was wondering.
