We are moving across country with our three cats and I was wondering what hotels allow pets. I know motel 6 does, but are there any others? Does it cost extra for the pets?Do you know any pet friendly hotels?
La Quinta I've found to be the best one to stay with pets. Not only are they VERY affordable but they're surprisingly nice for the price, they don't charge a pet fee and they have a really great free breakfast - often with make-yourself Belgian waffles, eggs, bacon, etc, as well as cereal, oatmeal, muffins, fruit, juice, etc. I've stayed in several La Quintas around WA state and up in BC, Canada and one in Stockton, CA and everytime really loved the room. I'm also staying in one for a full week in Orlando, FL for the upcoming TICA Annual in Sep.
Note that SOME may not allow pets as they're independently owned but most of them do. You can check at their website - http://www.lq.com/lq/index.jsp
Super 8 is another one - http://www.super8.com/Super8/control/hom鈥?/a>
I stayed at a Motel 6 this past weekend and though the room was clean and well-maintained it had a tiny bathroom and no microwave, coffee maker or breakfast like La Quinta and Super 8 provide. It also only had these open cubes to put your socks and underwear while the other hotels have dressers or armoires. So I'd definitely pick one of them over Motel 6 if you have the choice. Where I was going I didn't so Motel 6 it was. Super 8 and La Quinta also tend to have free Wi-Fi - important if you want to - or need to - get online.
Another site to look for pet-friendly hotels is http://www.hotels.com You can specify ';pets allowed'; and where you're traveling to and it'll give you the hotels and motels that allow pets. In most cases it will show what the fee is (if any) and any restrictions (dogs under 20 lbs, for example). I always book through hotels.com because once you accumulate 10 nights you get a night for free - and it can be up to $400 for that night despite what you've paid per night for all the stays you've accumulated!
Do be sure your cats are flea-free and tidy up after you leave. The hotels could just as easily change their rules to not allow pets so do what you can to ensure they'll continue this for pet owners. I bring a large litter box with me and a garbage bag to empty it in. Don't leave this for housekeeping - take it with you when you leave and put it in their or another dumpster. I also pack a small dust pan and broom and tidy up the bathroom of any stray litter. Since they don't charge more I don't feel right leaving more work for housekeeping.Do you know any pet friendly hotels?
La Quinta! We stayed there with our three dogs, 1 cat and 1 parrot and they were very gracious. It was during a hurricane. They do not charge extra.
Also Red Roof Inn I believe takes animals. The rooms we stayed in were kinda small though
super 8, I work at one. Travel lodge does as well. Some charge pet fees or ask you put a refundable deposit down though.
