10 Cat-Friendly Hotels & Motels

| March 27, 2015

More and more pet owners are opting to take their pets with them when they travel. Not only are boarding rates getting expensive, many people don’t feel that they can trust a random pet sitter to take over their beloved cat’s care while they’re away. Fortunately, the rise in pet ownership and travel has brought some large hotel chains to accept pets. Here’s a list of places your cat is welcome to stay with you.

#1 – Best Western

The Radisson allows cats in many of their locations, but the policy varies depending on where you’re staying. It’s important to check with your location’s pet policy to make sure you have everything you need in order for an easy, comfortable stay for you and your feline friendk. Because they don’t have a company-wide standardized policy, we don’t want you getting stuck unable to check in to your room!

#4 – La Quinta Inn & Suites

La Quinta Inn & Suites has a very simple pet policy and welcomes cats of all shapes and sizes. They do require a small pet fee, but generally have very relaxed rules regarding well-behaved kitties. To view their pet policy, visit their website here.

Red Roof Inns allow pets but the policy varies depending on the location. Cats may never be left alone in the room and must be in a carrier at all times when outside the room. These rules are very standard among hotel chains and Red Roof Inn does pride itself in being pet-friendly. For more information on their pet policy, check out their website here

#6 – Super 8

While not all of Super 8’s locations allow pets, many of them do and it’s recommended that you check the specific location you’re looking to stay at to make sure your cat is welcome to come with you. If no information is listed on the hotel’s website, as is sometimes the case, contact them directly by phone to verify their pet policy.

#7 – Four Seasons

Four Seasons Hotels does allow pets, but requires they be on the smaller size. Other than that, their pet policy remains relatively identical to the rest of the hotel chains. Their full pet policy isn’t listed on their website, so you’ll have to give them a call for more information.

#8 – Hilton

Travelodge is actually owned by the same parent company as Super 8 and therefore has the same policies. Some of their locations allow pets, others do not. Double check by calling the location you’re looking at to make sure your kitty is welcome to join you.
