I know Sheratons are and some Westins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1298548 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 18:38:41 +0000 MrsSCB 1298548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stayed in a La Quinta with my cat. I think many of them allow pets. We were very happy with our stay -- it was nice and clean and also affordable. I love Kimpton hotels but some of them can be a bit pricey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1298534 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 18:26:50 +0000 lemondrop 1298534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time! Drury Inn &amp; Suites is my favorite, they really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome with your pet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1298527 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 18:15:51 +0000 nana87 1298527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>kimptons are amazing, but we've also stayed with our dogs at a La Quinta and a Days Inn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1298233 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 15:01:43 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1298233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup lots of times! Hyatt and Kimpton are pet friendly and a lot of the independent hotels (more boutique) here in California are, so I'd ask around. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1298227 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 15:00:07 +0000 MrsBrewer 1298227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I didn't know Marriott too! This is great! It seems like there are a lot of choices actually. I might have to just start calling around to local hotels (most of their websites really don't specify) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1298220 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 14:58:10 +0000 shopaholic 1298220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Motel 6 and Marriott properties! You're not supposed to leave your dog alone in the room, but we've had nice maids we just let them know that our blind and elderly dog was in the room. They've all been okay with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1298209 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 14:55:10 +0000 MrsBrewer 1298209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just looked at Kimpton, wow......I totally want to go and stay at one!!! I don't see any near where we are staying, but I totally might just want to go somewhere and stay at one! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297955 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 13:19:10 +0000 brownie 1297955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: yes we just brought the vaccination records. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297929 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 13:09:54 +0000 spaniellove 1297929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've brought our dog with us to a few pet-friendly hotels and she hasn't always had the best etiquette so I'm grateful for their kindness! I learned to bring along a marpac white noise machine and to never ever leave her in the room alone. It's a good idea to let your dog run around during the day so he's nice and tired at night and ready to sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297920 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 13:07:48 +0000 Alivoo01 1297920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second Kimpton hotels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297905 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 13:04:37 +0000 mrs. wagon 1297905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have stayed in many pet-friendly hotels! Usually there is an additional fee (I've seen $25 per dog, sometimes more depending on what they provide) and usually you can't leave the dog in the room if you're not there. On kayak.com there's actually a filter for pet-friendly, and if you find a hotel that's convenient and cheap and it's not listed as pet-friendly I'd totally call and ask. Sometimes they haven't updated their website to indicate that they do take pets. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297891 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 13:01:28 +0000 MrsBrewer 1297891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I've never heard of that hotel chain! I'm not sure if there are any near where we are going. I'll check it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297889 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 13:01:03 +0000 MrsBrewer 1297889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: Thanks for responding! Good to know that you brought your 90lb dog! We have a big dog too, so I was hoping someone would chime in :-) So for drop in doggie daycares, did you just bring the vaccination records with? All daycares around here require it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297885 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 12:59:34 +0000 MrsBrewer 1297885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: Thanks for your input!! :-) Great suggestion about familiar bedding. We would definitely bring his kennel with, he sleeps in it every night when we are home. The only thing that sucks is that he's an 85 lb dog, and our kennel is XXL hahaha....but I would still bring it with, it's a chain one that folds down. I've noticed that some hotels have weight limits on dogs, and obviously mine would surpass that easily. So I'm hoping to find one that accommodates all sizes!</p> <p>This might be a silly concern but I'm a little nervous that he might try and "mark" our room....I mean obviously I would clean it all up right away, but I'm totally nervous for that!</p> <p>Oh and we would definitely have him with us the entire time, I wouldn't leave him in the hotel room alone, but that's a very good point about the house keepers!</p> <p>@jh524: There's a Motel 6 just in town by DH's family actually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297873 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 12:57:30 +0000 brownie 1297873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most residence inns by marriott are pet friendly. When we have traveled, we paid a $100 fee for the entire trip (worked well for our 2 weeks in San Diego). We usually take their crates and they love that. I have heard that La Quinta are pet friendly as well. </p> <p>We didn't leave them there. When we needed to be gone for the day we found a doggy daycare that did drop ins and let them go there. We have a 90 pound mutt and a 20 pound Sheltie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297866 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 12:54:36 +0000 StrawberryBee 1297866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, my dogs are noise reactive, so often I end up turning on the tv for them (low) so that it masks some of the hallway sounds and they don't start barking at inopportune moments. Don't forget to bring a water bowl :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297864 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 12:54:28 +0000 jh524 1297864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>motel 6 are pet friendly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297857 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 12:53:18 +0000 StrawberryBee 1297857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, if your dog isn't used to being outside for hours and hours in that kind of cold, I wouldn't try it either. He hasn't had time to acclimate to that.</p> <p>We've stayed at pet friendly hotels when going down the shore (and sometimes for agility demos at pet expos). Usually they don't want the dog to be left alone in the room for safety reasons (what if housekeeping comes in and the dog gets loose, bites, etc.). You may pay a security deposit that is given back when they confirm the room hasn't been totaled.</p> <p>I would ask for a room on the ground floor/near an exit so that you can easily go outside for potties. Some dogs are freaked out by elevators. If your dog crate trains and your crate is portable, it's nice to bring that and some familiar bedding.</p> <p>It sounds like a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297852 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 12:51:46 +0000 autumnlove 1297852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kimpton hotels are pet friendly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-friendly-hotels#post-1297841 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 12:46:56 +0000 MrsBrewer 1297841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone traveled with a pet, and stayed in a pet friendly hotel before?</p> <p>We're thinking about going to my husband's family, and they don't allow dogs in the house. (they live on farms, and all their dogs are all outside/farm dogs) *Side note* our dog was actually one of these farm dogs, but now he's a city, house-living dog :-)</p> <p>Well I don't want our dog to sleep/stay outside all night (think 0-20 degrees, Minnesota winter) So I'm thinking about just booking a hotel nearby! Let our dog run and play outside during the day, but then stay with us at the hotel at night. Has anyone had experience at a pet friendly hotel?? </p>
