Traveling with your furry friend can be a joyful experience, but finding the right place to stay is crucial. Hotels that welcome dogs offer a unique blend of comfort and convenience for both you and your pet. This article explores the many benefits of choosing accommodations that cater to travelers with dogs, helping you plan a stress-free and enjoyable trip.


Why Choose Hotels for Travelers with Dogs?


When you travel with a dog, your accommodation needs change. Hotels for travelers with dogs provide amenities and services designed to make your stay comfortable and hassle-free. These hotels understand the importance of pets in your life and go the extra mile to accommodate them.


Some key advantages include:


  • Pet-friendly amenities: Hotel Elev8 Flagstaff offers bowls, a playball, and even special treats.

  • Convenient locations: Close to parks or walking trails, making it easy to exercise your dog. And we have an outdoor sanitary area just for them.

  • Flexible policies: Allowing dogs of various sizes and breeds, sometimes with no weight limits.

  • Safety and comfort: Secure outdoor areas and quiet rooms to keep your dog relaxed.


Choosing a dog-friendly hotel ensures your pet is welcomed and cared for, making your trip more enjoyable.

What to Look for in Hotels for Travelers with Dogs


Not all hotels that accept pets offer the same level of service or comfort. When selecting a hotel for your dog, consider the following factors:


Pet Policies and Fees


  • Check if the hotel charges extra fees for pets.

  • Understand the rules about the number of pets allowed.

  • Verify if there are breed or size restrictions.


Room Features


  • Easy-to-clean flooring.

  • Proximity to exits for quick outdoor access.


Reviews and Recommendations


  • Read reviews from other travelers with dogs.

  • Look for hotels praised for their pet-friendly atmosphere.


By paying attention to these details, you can find a hotel that meets both your needs and those of your dog.

Do any hotels allow pets to stay for free?


Yes, some hotels waive pet fees, especially if you book directly or stay for an extended period. These hotels understand that pets are part of the family and want to encourage travelers to bring their dogs without worrying about extra costs.


Here are some tips to find hotels that allow pets to stay for free:


  1. Search for promotions: Some hotels run special offers that include free pet stays.

  2. Join loyalty programs: Members often get perks like waived pet fees.

  3. Contact hotels directly: Sometimes, policies are flexible if you ask.

  4. Look for smaller or boutique hotels: They may have more lenient pet policies.


Keep in mind that even if the pet stay is free, you should still respect hotel rules and keep your dog well-behaved.

To make the most of your stay, consider these practical tips:


  • Bring your dog’s essentials: Food, toys, leash, and any medications.

  • Prepare your dog for travel: Exercise them before arrival to reduce anxiety.

  • Respect hotel rules: Keep your dog on a leash in public areas and clean up after them.

  • Use a crate or pet gate: Helps your dog feel secure in the room.

  • Notify the hotel of your arrival: Some hotels offer special check-in for guests with pets.


By planning ahead, you can avoid common pitfalls and ensure a pleasant experience for everyone.
