Not all pet-friendly hotels and accommodations are created equal. Pet policies vary greatly between hotels and accommodations. Some hotels only allow dogs; Some only allow small animals under 25 pounds, others have a maximum of two pets, and nearly all of them charge a fee—ranging from $10 per night to a non-refundable deposit of over $100 (aka pet fee).
However, there are some distinct pet-friendly hotel chains that allow your four-legged friend to stay for free.
Motel 6
This budget hotel chain was one of the first to allow pets. Conveniently located along all major highways, the Motel 6 is a favorite of travelers looking for a lodging along their travel route. All Motel 6 properties allow service animals and well-behaved pets (unless they pose a safety risk or are prohibited by law). And the best part is, they stay free!
Red Roof hotels
