As more and more hotels start to cater to the increasing number of people who bring their pets along on vacations, pet friendly hotels are becoming more common. There is a very wide range of amenities when it comes to pets at these hotels. They range from only requiring you to pay a fee to bringing your pet to the hotel with you to providing special treats and services just for your pet. On your trips research all your options to find the best lodging for your pet and you.

The majority of the options regarding pet-friendly options tend to be pretty basic. They allow you to have your pet in your room. There is usually a fee for each day the pet is there, and any room damages or extra cleaning charges incurred must be paid by the guest. Many pet friendly accommodations have policies requiring the animals to be leashed at all times while on hotel property, and most do not allow you to leave the pet alone in the room. Some hotels have size limitson pets, saying that the pet must be less than 15 pounds, or 35 pounds or greater or some other size, so be sure to check on this. Pet owners must clean up after their pets.

One hotel that really pampers your dog is the Beverly Hills Hotel. This hotel is at the more high-class end of the pet friendly lodging scale. The hotel requires require you to pay a nonrefundable $200 cleaning surcharge, and you must stay in a bungalow, but they permit one trained dog under 35 pounds per bungalow. The dog will get spoiled though, with pink Beverly Hills hotel tennis balls to play with, a doggie bed, doggie bowls, and dog insurance with their name on them baked by the hotel bakery.

Another choice for travellers who want pet friendly lodging where their pets will be pampered is the Hotel Marlowe in Cambridge, MA. Frequent pet visitors get a lunch box of yummy treats, and if it is your pets’ birthday they will get a cake from a nearby pet bakery. Amenities for pets include a fuzzy blanket, a treat box, and a dog bed or cat scratching post. They accept all sizes of animals, and will help arrange for dog walking or pet sitting. They take your contact information so that if your pet is causing a disturbance while you are out they can contact you, and guests need to sign a waiver agreeing to pay for any damages.
