Update!!....... the $50 fee was soooooo worth it. The hotel was really nice. Very Clean AND there were many other dogs there ( and they were all well-behaved AND leashed). It was also nice having a place with a kitchen. Shelby & Seymour had their pee pad in the tiled bathroom....... and they were diligent about using it.
We never left them in the room alone.... but they did give us magnet to put on the door that said " Pet in Room". ( I really don't trust leaving them alone..... you never know who works at the hotel.... or what friends that they let in).
Anyway, we will be staying there again.
