I need to be in Indy, the Detroit area, and most of the major cities in OH on business a few times next year and am hoping to find pet friendly hotels so I can bring Cooper (my dog). I don't need (or expect) the Ritz but I'd like something above Motel 6.

Many Sheratons accept pets, as do Red Roof Inns and Ramadas. It seems that Ramadas vary WIDELY- I have stayed in some that were nice and some that were... well, lets just say NOT so nice. I am working a tradeshow at a Ramada in Indy so it would be convenient to stay there, but I am a bit hesitant to just "go for it." If the place is a complete hole, I'll find nicer digs and Cooper will spend a few days with my sister.

Any feedback on that particular Ramada and any suggestions for any pet friendly hotels in IN, MI and OH are welcome!

Thanks for the link WHiiP- that was one site I didn't have bookmarked.

I've also looked at [www.petswelcome.com],
[www.dogfriendly.com] and [www.travelpets.com].

Glad I could add to your list . . .





cheers!

dmann, I was sent a review copy of a book about dog-friendly hotels and motels about a year ago. Obviously the authors had never spent the night in some of those hotels! One of our local crack-ho motels got a "warm and friendly" rating. I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I can't remember the name of the book, unfortunately, so I can't tell you to avoid it.

Gutie- that's what I'm afraid of! I travel quite a bit for work so I have seen the gamut of what is considered a "mid-range" hotel. I have also seen some "high-end" hotels that left much to be desired.

One night in a lousy hotel isn't the end of the world- 4 or 5 nights in a lousy hotel is something I can live without.

dmann, I checked Baltimore hotels on petswelcome.com and it seemed accurate to me. and the crack ho-tel was not listed, so I would consider them trustworthy.

(I nearly typed "trystworthy!" Oy!)

"trystworthy"? I only WISH I had the need for a trystworthy hotel...

Not that it's a consolation.. but I know how you feel...

Actually, it is a LITTLE bit of a consolation. My new year's resolution (among others) is to not be horrified by the thought of dating.

We'll see if I make it 'til Jan. 2 with that one!
