What types of pet friendly hotels I prefer?
This depends on my clients budget; which determines which class of hotels or low end motels that OOTO Enterprises will be able to utilize.
When the budget is in the lower end of VIP pricing. I love staying in Staybridge Suites by IHG or Best Western Plus. I ofter stay at Comfort Suites or Comfort Inn. If I pick La Quinta, I love their newer properties. Hilton Brand hotels, Tru tend to be be pet friendly and easy to clean because of the type of flooring they use. Homewood Suites, I definitely love them too.
Most pet friendly hotels only allow 2 pets per a room. Since lodging companies are having harder time finding employees for cleaning rooms, it is getting harder to find pet friendly hotels. The earlier I get a deposit for a trip, the earlier I can lock in the 1st planned stop on the route. Pre-booking rooms also helps keep route cost lower.
Economy motels, I use them is a client needs budget prices or if I have offered pet rideshare (Two pet households.) I also use economy motels if the better hotels aren't available, this happens when I am not able to pre-book a room due to not getting a deposit and received payment at pickup.
I also use economy motels if pet hotel policies are restricted to pets size, type or how many pets. Usually big dogs.
Cats, most hotels will allow cats. Its always a good idea to pay a deposit in advance so I can pre-book hotels before the date of travel. I always read the pet policies and ofter call the hotels to verify.
