Part of our continuing series on traveling with your dog.
We do our best to always make extended travel plans that include our dog, Moo. But this desire creates its own set of issues, including lodging. Finding a good pet-friendly hotel takes some research.
There are websites dedicated to organizing lists of pet-friendly hotels and they are indeed a good source of information. Once you identify a chain that meets your requirements and you have a successful visit, why not stick with that hotel for all your future travel? That has been our approach.
We are card-holding Returns Members of La Quinta Inns & Suites (LQ) . Not only does this hotel offer very affordable rates with locations across the USA, it provides free breakfast AND all LQs are pet-friendly – with NO FEE. The very few times we have had problems with our reservation at a LQ, their customer service reps were very quick to intervene on our behalf and load our Returns membership with a free night.
Knowing that we don’t have to spend time trolling through hotel information to try and identify a pet-friendly and affordable chain certainly helps ease the stress of planning a vacation!
