| 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.

| some places have "pet friendly" rooms and they are smelly and gross. as long as you don't have a barker you should be fine. we check in late at night and leave in the morning. no one ever notices him.

| 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...

Donating YT 11K Club Member | 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

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
