Five things to check before booking a pet-friendly hotel
- The full cost: Ask whether the pet fee is per night, per stay, or per pet. Include parking and other hotel charges in your budget.
- The right room: Some hotels only allow pets in designated rooms or suites. Request the pet-friendly room when you book.
- Where your pet can go: Check lobby, patio, restaurant, rooftop, and pool rules separately. A pet-friendly hotel may restrict those spaces.
- Your plans away from the room: Ask whether pets can be left alone, whether a crate is required, and what options you have if they need company.
- Everyday comfort: Ask about nearby relief areas, quieter rooms, and any available beds or bowls. Pack familiar food, a leash, waste bags, and your pet’s usual essentials.
