Dogs Welcome – Who’ll Let the Dogs “Inn”? – Hotel Chains

We spent many hours visiting these hotel chains’ websites to determine which welcome your dog.  We have rated them as:

Four Paws – A clear, easily accessible pet policy and welcome dogs at ALL locations
Three Paws - A clear, easily accessible pet policy and welcome dogs at MOST locations
Two Paws – Pet policy buried on their site and welcome dogs at SOME locations

Remember, policies change constantly.  Although we’ve checked and double checked this list, you need to triple check and make sure that Fido really is welcome before booking. 

When traveling with your dog, you must call reservations and talk to someone instead of booking on-line.  By doing that you’ll also learn the hotel’s pet policy, which can be different from hotel to hotel even within the same chain.
