Always Check the Hotel's Pet Policy

Dog friendly hotels offer many perks, but keep in mind there are restrictions. Some hotels don’t allow big dogs or more than one dog per room. Other pet friendly hotels and hotels that take dogs may not let you leave a dog in the room without supervision. It’s always best to check the comments on the "Pets Verified" and ""Pet Friendly" results of Pet-Friendly-Hotels.com to confirm the hotel's current pet policy and comments, or use the Contact Us page to book a Pet Friendly Hotel by phone if in any doubt.
