I had an overnight layover in Seattle and my company booked this hotel. I called ahead to see if they had waterproof mattress covers. The man on the line said he would check and after a brief hold simply told me, “No we do not.” No other solution was offered.

I threw down some Goodnites Bed Mats. I had a pretty significant leak, it got all over my shirt and down to my feet but it didn’t get past the bedmats (I put down 4 because this is a rather expensive hotel and I didn’t want to risk having to pay for mattress cleaning).

The front desk said the wet sheets weren’t a problem but I’d have been in some pretty deep shit If it weren’t for my over cautiousness with the bed mats.

Would not stay again for that reason.

Finally a review of my own, I have been on the road lately, but I’ve not had the chance to write up any reviews. Look for more coming soon. This hotel was booked for me through work, and while it is a great hotel, as far as reviews, rating, and other quality measures go, it wasn’t particularly accommodating for visitors who happen to wet the bed.

After the hotel was booked, I emailed the reservation agent to ask about mattress covers. I received a prompt reply that “unfortunately we do not have any of our own waterproof mattress covers however you are more than welcome to bring your own.” I did just that and brought a pack of Goodnites bedmats (at a one mat for every 0.75 nights ratio).

In addition to my regular night protection (which these days have been Molicares), I also brought along a couple of more heavy-duty diapers for the first few nights. Given that I was travelling a very long distance and was expecting to be very jet lagged, and that my wetting tends to be worse the first few nights in a new place as well as when I’m badly jet lagged, I thought this was a good precaution.

I’m glad that I did. The first few nights, once I got to sleep, I was glad that I had brought the more serious protection. The first, night my heavy-duty protection did not leak, so I left the rumpled but still re-usable bed pad stuck to the sheets in the morning for re-use. I was disappointed to find upon returning to the room that housekeeping had removed the mat. The next morning, I left a note saying “please leave on” on top of the new and also dry pad. When I got back to the room the pad was still there, and a spare pair of sheets and a mattress topper (not the waterproof kind), were left folded on the chair.

I stayed at the hotel for 12 days, and I ended up going through all of the diapers that I had brought, with the exception to the pair I saved for the flight home (where I intended to sleep, but crying babies made this an intermittent affair). The last night I went without protection and slept directly on my last sleep mat. Unfortunately, I had to pack a pair of rather wet pyjama bottoms and under in a sealed bag in my checked luggage.

Overall not particularly accommodating  but otherwise a very decent hotel.
