Over the years, we’ve gotten pretty great personal experience with various pet friendly accommodation options when on the road. While it can be overwhelming trying to decide where to stay when traveling with your pet, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite pet friendly options to help make the decision a bit easier for you.

Aloft Hotels

This is our personal favorite hotel chain that is a great pet friendly option. Aloft is a great modern hotel chain that is incredibly welcoming to travelers with pets. Most Aloft hotels don’t charge a pet fee and in fact, actually accommodate exceptionally well for travelers with pets. We have even stayed in some Alofts that have welcomed pets with treats, potty bags, and a toy! The price can vary depending on the location, but we throughly believe this is one of the best pet friendly hotel options available.

Red Roof Inn

This is a great budget friendly option for pet owners when on the road. Generally very reasonably priced, Red Roof Inn offer very simple accommodations and do not usually charge a pet fee. They are also generally a common hotel chain and fairly easy to find when traveling. This is a great cheap hotel option to accommodate you and your pet.

Airbnb

When staying somewhere for more than one night, this is one of our favorite places to look for pet friendly lodging. While not every Airbnb is pet friendly, many hosts allow pets to stay in their apartment or house for an additional fee. A bonus with Airbnbs is that since these are usually apartments or houses, there is often plenty of space to walk your pup and may even have a yard for your pet to roam around. We have used Airbnb plenty of times when traveling with pets and love the freedom and space they often give. We highly recommend checking them out when traveling to see what options are available.

Campground

We know this may not be everyone’s first choice or may not be an option for everyone, but if you’re looking for a safe place to sleep for the night with your pet and a hot shower in the morning, campgrounds can be a great cheap option to consider when traveling. Many will allow you to park your car overnight, allow you to shower in the morning, and some may even provide free breakfast. While we know sleeping in the car may not be an option for everyone, for those simply looking for a quick nights rest, this can be a great affordable option. If you have an RV or are looking to get one, check out Camping World. For a more rustic camping experience, we recommend REI for your tent camping essentials.

A few other pet friendly hotel chains are:

1. La Quinta

2. Kimpton

3. Best Western

4. Motel 6
