Has anyone ever......?? ....snuck their furbaby into a hotel while on vacation?? We're driving down to Florida this week (leaving wednesday hopefully if my mom is feeling better) and we are stopping for one night in a hotel on the way. I'm just wondering has anyone ever stayed in a hotel for a night KNOWING the hotel wasnt pet friendly??? |
I do it. It seems like the pet friendly motels on I95 are nasty. I am scared he will get fleas from those motels. I wrap him in a baby blanket and carry him in. I usually go for a place with an outside corridor or use the stairs if they have elevators. I feel like travel is an adventure. :) |
I know i was just looking at the pet friendly hotels online and saying to myself "omg are you serious?" as i cringed. Blahhhh :sickie: |

i agree with those that say pet friendly hotels are nasty. I snuck my girl in a few times including the Shareton. Theres no way I am staying in a filthy hotel just because its "pet friendly". |
Oooops. Guilty. I did it all the time with Maggie, she was small and never barked so I knew I could get away with it. We even stayed in places for several days I just took her in and out with cute dog carriers and if we had to leave her in the room I just put up the "do not disturb" sign. I liked taking her wherever we went and there arent always pet friendly options. We were always very respectful of the room she was potty trained and wasnt a chewer. Its not right, but I loved her and didnt want to leave her. |
I snuck Lucie into hotels that didn't allow pets and ones that did but I didn't want to pay the arm and leg for 1 night. If you find a holiday inn or best western on the way, they usually allow pets if you want to pay for your baby. Otherwise; for sneaking in just look for a back entrance to your room. I put Lucie in a cuddle cup blanket and didn't let her poke her head out so it looked like I was just carrying a blanket. We put the do not disturb sign on the door, and no one said anything to us... |
I haven't done it yet,you are all so sneaky LOL thanks for the tips. |
I've never done it, id be scared, i think the only one i'd be able to do that with is London cause she is not a barker. The other 2 would prob. bark at any sounds they hear:rolleyes: |
I haven't--- but I am from Florida (central), and want you to know that we woke up to 43 degrees this morning as we just got a big cold front come through. Pack for cool weather! |

I would suggest staying at a Westin, they are affordable and pet friendly with no extra fees. They will take a $50 deposit but it is totally refundable. |
Usually we can find a pet friendly hotel. However, once we were on our way to North Carolina, and had to stop because of a terrible storm. We snuck our furbaby into the hotel and no one ever figured this out. ;) So, guilty, here. |
I've brought Teddi to hotels that don't allow dogs as well as brought her to ones that allow dogs but charge and snuck her in. We just went to the W last month and they charge a $100 dog fee so I didn't tell them she was with us. I figured if they found out they would charge the $100 but then that was Ok I just thought if I could get away with not paying I would try ;) |

that will be the very time they will bark LOL |
I have brought cutie and max into hotels that do not and do allow. I believe i was in a Westin once and they told us up front that it was pet friendly. And with the other hotels that do not allow, it was easy to bring them in and out. And we always opted for a room that we can watch our truck from the window( we were moving from central florida to ny). Which ment away from the Check in area/front desk. I have never stayed more than just a night so I don't know about that. |
We've done this a couple times, once in NYC, the other time was in Tallahassee, FL. it was not that hard at all. all I did was that I kept her in her puppy purse, and nobody really noticed at all. my girl dolly is two and a half pounds, and I have one of the Juicy doggie bag that does not really look like a dog bag at all when you close all the zippers. plus dolly is very quiet. so, I wasn't even scared at all! |
No, I've never snuck my dogs in to a hotel, and never would. Some hotels allow them, and if I had too, I would stay at one of them. Ask the hotel if they allow dogs, and if not, go to a hotel that does. |
I've stayed in one motel one time with our dogs. It was a really crummy place, but the dogs were soooo happy to be there with us. They immediately jumped on the bed with us. I used to travel for work. I was leaving a hotel one time and watched a lady in her nightgown and robe holding a little dog sneaking out a side door. I asked if they knew she had a dog in her room. She looked sheepish and said no. I smiled and said "I didn't see a thing!!!" |
I've never taken him into a non-pet friendly hotel. I didn't know Westin's were pet friendly! Good to know.. We usually look for a Marriot REsidence Inn or a Hampton Inn... |
My parents have traveled many times to their winter home. Most times they find a pet friendly hotel, sometimes they cannot. They have never had a problem though, they have toy poodles and I feel the hotel staff and visitors as well do not feel intimidated or disturbed by such a small breed. They are quiet babies though and my parents always assure they have done their business prior to checking in. They have actually called me on their way to Florida to have me find and book a room in a particular location that is pet friendly ahead of time, a couple hours prior to their stopping for the night, and this has worked out well. |
