DH and I have stayed at the Drury Inn chain with the big boys and never had a problem and bear is 80lbs. We've left them in the room to have dinner and breakfast. I've never seen a rule that stated they couldn't be left in the room and I was never crazy enough to ask if it was okay before I did it. We travel with the girls, also. We have a small 3x3 xpen that is just large enough for pee pad, bed, food and tiny play area that folds flat and sets up in a snap. Both can fit in it and they don't feel crated. We use it when we visit relatives, etc... We would take it to the Drury also, and any other hotel chain that takes pets. They've never been crated. At home they have the huge xpen and the little one is always set up for secondary use, so they are familiar with it.

P.S. the free hot breakfast and Belgian waffles at the Drury rock!
