Personally, I wouldn't take him with you if you know he's going to be left alone most of the days you are there. It simply isn't safe to leave them in the hotel room. Think of all the staff who have keys to get in a room and many hotels just don't allow them to be left alone, even if they are pet friendly.

If you do decide to take him, please make sure you have him in a crate when you are not in the room. If housekeeping comes in and he is loose, they are not going to retrieve him if he gets out and they leave the door open and propped by the cart when cleaning. Most of DC isn't dog friendly. They are not allowed on any of the grassy areas where any of the monuments are - only the sidewalk. Alexandria is very pet friendly, however - with lots to do in the Old Town area with everything being pet friendly.

If he stays in his own surrounding, he is bound to be more comfortable even if you aren't there sleeping with him. Would your MIL let him sleep with her?
