Pet-Friendly Hotels
Bellman brings in the dog
By Sue Varga
Tips while staying in a hotel- Never leave your pet unattended in a room unless the hotel indicates you may do otherwise.
- If you must leave your pet unattended, put him in a crate or in the bathroom. Leave the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door to avoid surprising hotel staff or allowing your pet to escape.
- Bringing bedding or a carrier so you pet feels comfortable and at home.
- Place you pet's food and water bowls in the bathroom for ease of clean up.
- Keep you pet on a leash or carrier in public areas.
