A couple of tips for staying in a pet friendly hotel ... especially if your baby is young. Look at the room before you accept it. You would be surprised at the stinky, dirty rooms they will designate "pet rooms". We have been given rooms that we absolutely would not let Toto put her paws on the floor! We never stay at cheaper hotels either! I suppose they assume that all pet owners are the same. Evidently they have never had Yorkie owners stay at their hotel!
Patrick has absolutely no qualms about returning a key and telling them very politely that we simply cannot allow our dog to stay in the room. You have that right ... don't be shy! Another thing, before you ever let that baby loose in a hotel room ... go over the floor with a "fine toothed comb". You can't even imagine the things we have found on the foor that the bedspread conceals ... chips, candy [yes, even chocolate], buttons, paperclips, etc. Toto taught us about this the first time she was running around her first hotel room with a Frito in her little mouth!! If it hadn't scared us so badly, it would have been funny! She was only about 18 wks. old and only weighed about 1.5 lbs.!
I hope you have a wonderful, safe vacation! Keep a little bowl and a bottle of water in your bag at all times.
