Pet Friendly Motels

There is a wide range of quality in pet friendly motels. Some are as clean and safe as any of the best motel chains in the country, whereas others can get a bit hairy (pardon the pun). That's why online pet friendly motel bookers are such a valuable resource to those of us who sometimes travel with our pets--just because we have our animal friends with us, doesn't mean we want to sleep in a barn. A good online booker includes detailed descriptions of each of their recommended motels so that travelers can find rooms they will be comfortable in.

Booking a room in a pet friendly motel ahead of time is a very good idea. I once drove from Texas to California with my dog and decided to drive as far as I could each day and find a motel room on the fly. One motel I checked out was as welcoming to insects as it was to pets. Needless to say I kept looking, but it was another 30 minutes or so before I found a decent room for me and my dog. After a long day of driving, schlepping from one motel to another can be a pretty grueling ordeal.



Discounts on Pet Friendly Motels
Like most motels, pet friendly motels often offer discounts to customers who pre-book their rooms. Those of us who must travel on a budget can really appreciate the sizable discounts that are available to advance bookers. The best pet friendly motel bookers include Auto Club ratings for each of the hotels and motels they list, so that clients can get a comprehensive idea of the quality of their accommodations.

Many pet friendly motels will have designated "bathroom areas" for their guests' dogs. It may seem like a small thing, but I found out the hard way that most dogs will not relieve themselves on concrete or asphalt. At the end of a long day of travel, it helps the dog and owner to have a convenient grassy area in which the dog can take care of his business.
