The important thing to stress here is that ownership and management do change at some properties, and so do the pet policies. We encourage the use of our information as a guide but stress that you should contact the property for a detailed up to date policy before you reserve. There may be fees involved, special rules, limited rooms for pets, types of pets or maybe the hotel just changed the policy yesterday.

Why pet policies?
One of the most common questions on this topic is, why do hotels have pet policies? This is actually very easy to answer, being pet lovers ourselves, we fell that our pet is well mannered and behaved. Unfortunititly there are some pet owners out there that think that thier little "angle" is well behaved, but it is not. Some owners allow their pets to chew on the furniture or soil the carpeting. So hotel managers are faced with a problem, either they allow pets with restrictions, or they jsut don't allow pets at all.
Some common considerations for properties are that you are liable for damages. You may be asked for a credit card to secure payment for possible damage. You should keep your pet leashed or contained when outside the room at all times. You should be courteous to neighbors and not leave them unattended in a strange room. A limit of one pet is common. Make sure you have permission to have more than one. Weight limits are also common. Deposits and fees are not always required but they are common. Make sure you know what they are upfront to avoid nasty surprises on your bill.
