Whenever we travel (not too often) I always google pet friendly motels for the city where we will be stopping. Some will charge a large extra fee, as much as $50, while other charge nothing. We find LaQuinta to be very good if they happen to be in the city we are going. We have two Cavailier King Charles Spaniels who go with us most every where. They are content to stay in the car if it's not too hot or cold. They have gone to the hospital when I've had surgery--stayed in the parking lot while I was in the operating room. It gave my husband something to do other than sit and wait for my surgery to be done. He walked the dogs.
