Considering the big space our pets hold in our hearts and homes, it’s no wonder that travelers are eager to bring their pets with them while on vacation. Thankfully, hotel chains are responding to this need by opening their rooms to our four-legged friends. Now, you will not have to worry about someone else looking after your pet while you are on vacation, and our pets can enjoy the fun with the whole family.
Some of the finest pet-friendly hotel chains include the following:
1. La Quinta Inn & Suites
La Quinta by Wyndham offers guests the opportunity to bring along pets and is one of the best affordable options for those who wish to travel on a budget along with their furry friends. Each room can have two cats or two dogs. The chain has around 830 locations throughout the country and only four of them do not allow pets. The staff insists, however, that you be present while housekeeping is doing its job if there happen to be pets in the room in order to avoid any untoward incidents.
2. Days Inn
Days Inn by Wyndham is a great place for people wanting to explore new places and new localities. Try not to expect too much or make any outrageous requests as Days Inn is for people who are looking to explore and simply use their room to stay at night. It is also noteworthy that many of their locations do allow pets. You are advised to call ahead and enquire about which locations have pet-friendly hotels. The establishment usually charges a nominal fee for each pet and they may place certain weight restrictions on the pet.
3. Loews Hotels
Loews Hotels is great for pet owners. They normally offer pets with their special placemats, bowls, and treats. They also provide pets with their own beds if you ask. The hotel also has a gourmet treat and a special menu for the pets. Moreover, they provide scratch posts and litter boxes or squeeze toys upon request. They have an entire program dedicated to pets called “Loews Loves Pets” and they provide guests with trail maps for walking their dog and doggie pick-up bags along with recommendations for nearby services for pet-sitting.
4. BestWestern Hotels & Resorts
BestWestern is a great option when it comes to pet-friendly hotels out there. They have several hotels that can accommodate pets and although they may only cater to dogs, many of their locations allow you to keep other pets like cats, monkeys, snakes, and birds. However, you are advised to do some research before embarking on your visit so that you can find out more about the policies of the establishment.
