| Hotel pet friendly; guests not We stayed one night at a pet friendly hotel. At 9:30 in the morning, Maximo let out a couple barks that lasted not even 2 seconds -- and a guest called the front desk to complain! I'm sensitive about not being a nuisance to other people, but this was not a legitimate complaint. |

| What hotel or hotel chain was it? When we've stayed in hotels that were pet friendly before we even had a pet, I don't ever remember the barking that I heard being bothersome, and the dogs that were there were HUGE dogs there. Some people can be a pain and just want to complain. |

So right about that. Next time ask to be put in a suit at the end of the hallway and ask what happens if they bark TWICE.

| It irritates me when people are "looking" to start problems. Such jerks! I wouldn't worry about traveling in the future though. One thing I did when Chase would bark (for a long time) when the bell rang was after a few barks I would shake a metal can filled with coins and say no more bark. When he would stop I would say, "Good boy ..down. Then I would treat him. It took a week or so but he caught on. Now he barks to let me know someone is here but he stops after I tell him it's ok. This may work for you if you practice them before you travel again. BTW, mean people suck.

Apart from the one desk clerk, the staff were very friendly and loved my doggies. There were dogs of all kinds the night we were there. I heard a large dog bark a couple of times, but it was muffled, and did not last more than a minute. | |

| The chain must have changed their policies because the pet-friendly hotel internet listings include Holiday Inn Express and regular Holiday Inns in many different states. The one I stayed at is in Virginia. |

| Wow, sounds like that person had nothing better to do with their lives. They need to chill-ax! I'll be bringing Jackson to Gettysburg this summer and there's a few pet-friendly hotels... most of them are motels anyways (i.e. no indoor hallways) so hopefully it's not a problem. He's not a bad barker anyways. I'm a *little* worried about leaving him in the hotel (which I will have to do, but not often, only when we go to dinner) by himself but I suppose you can put the "do not disturb" on the door? He has free roam when I leave him at home so I think I should do the same at a hotel? He's never vacationed with me yet!

Usually the hotel policy is that the dog must be crated when you leave the room and this is best for the dog anyway because if a maid were to miss the sign or accidentally open your door, your dog could run out. I usually crate them in the bathroom with the door shut to provide even extra barriers between them and anyone who could open the door. | |

"The chain must have changed their policies because the pet-friendly hotel internet listings include Holiday Inn Express and regular Holiday Inns in many different states.

I asked and several hotels said that each hotel/motel has it's own policy. Armaniman posted: "Usually the hotel policy is that the dog must be crated when you leave the room and this is best for the dog anyway because if a maid were to miss the sign or accidentally open your door, your dog could run out. I usually crate them in the bathroom with the door shut to provide even extra barriers between them and anyone who could open the door." Oh--and I agree with you Armaniman! We don't put him in the bathroom just make sure he is in the expen. Also, someone posted that hotels have a policy about not leaving the dog alone in case of a fire but in some cases this is unavoidable. If there was heaven forbid a fire--or other emergency--if the dog is in a crate/pen he would be found immediately when the room is checked. If they were roaming free then the alarm might scare them and cause them to hide.
