Pet-friendly hotels

Pet Friendly Hotels

There are thousands of hotels, motels, and resorts across the U. S. that are more than happy to accept guests with pets. Just to name a few, Motel 6, Red Roof Inns, and Studio 6 properties all accept pets. Most hotels set their own policies, so it is important to call ahead and ask if pets are permitted and if there is a size limit and/or extra charge.

A number of books and publications list pet-friendly hotels and motels, including:

Pets on the Go: The Definitive Pet Accommodation and Vacation Guide by Dawn and Robert Habgood. Contains details on more than 18,000 pet-friendly hotels, motels, B&Bs and inns in the U.S.; general travel tips; and a large list of useful resources such as emergency veterinary clinics and dog parks. Available from Dawbert Press, Inc. for $21.95.

Pets Welcome by Kathleen and Robert Fish, Bon Vivant Press. Lists hotels, motels, and inns nationwide based on their location, guest amenities, and pet friendliness. $20.95 plus shipping and handling.

Please do your part with your pet so that these hotels and motels will continue to accept you and your pet. Obey local animal control ordinances, keep your animal under control, and be thoughtful and courteous to other travelers.
