Dog Friendly

This is a very nice hotel, dog friendly, even has a restaurant which we did not use. The downside is the price. Was it worth it? I thought it was pricey. Our dog loved it. Plenty of grass and doggy stations. The room was spacious to play some ball. The breakfast was busy with such a large hotel. It was the usual fare but it did have chicken breakfast meats, that is a plus.

Plenty of grassy area

The hotel was fine for Fido. The room had a broken desk chair and had to call twice to get someone to bring a replacement so I could work at the desk. I made 2 nights reservations but separately. I had to check out and back in in the morning. We were gone all day and we were locked out cause the desk did not remake the key. Then I asked for fresh glasses and was told to ask the maid on the floor when weren't there. A little bit of annoying attitude.

Close to waterfront

The room was spacious, renovated, clean, quiet. We drove down to Canal Park Brewery and sat outside on a beautiful day with a lake breeze. The wait staff not attentive but we were enjoying the day. The breakfast was the usual ‘hot’ breakfast (not hot). There was grassy area to walk your best friend.

Great for walks down Main St

This property is on both sides of Main Street. The lobby and breakfast are across Main, there is a walk over with stairs up and down with no AC to get you there. We waited for traffic to cross as there is no designated crossing at the hotel. The room was old. We slept comfortably. The breakfast had lots of variety. The doggy area was on the lobby side, not convenient.

On the Riverwalk

Location is on the walk to the river walk, the parking is secure or maybe because there were protests happening nearby, the hotel is stately. The room was spacious and comfortable. There is a complimentary social in the evening which is an alcohol drink and chips and salsa. The breakfast was varied. We were limited in our discovery of the area due to the protests and swat clothed police we could see from the hotel.

Carpets hold lingering smells

Sorry to say but the air does not smell fresh. Yes we had a pet friendly room and on occasion do find the dog smell. We let the bathroom exhaust fan run for hours and that helped. Then when we walked the long halls, it was not dog smell just not fresh. The room is renovated, the breakfast area all renovated. The breakfast was basic. Location, right off the main road. We did get a quiet night's sleep.

Best Best Western Plus we have stayed in

This Best Western Plus is only 2 years old and kept super clean. It was a relaxing and comfortable stay. All the accommodations were excellent. The breakfast was hot! Dog friendly too, with a doggy treat bag at check-in. Highly recommend.

A delightful stay

This BW+ was built in 2022. All fresh and new and super clean. The staff gave our pup a welcome treat bag. There is lots of grassy area and poop bag stations. The room has adequate space and shower with a glass door. Beds are comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was nice, lots of choices and varies everyday Highly recommend this hotel.

Quiet night's sleep

The property is old and dated. It smelled clean. The breakfast very very basic, no eggs or meat. There was toast and dried biscuits, juice and coffee. The bed was comfortable. It is pet friendly. There is a restaurant across the street, convenient.

Comfortable, Convenient

It was a lodge, no elevator but we were on the first floor. The rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfast was ok. The 19th hole bar/grill next door was nice for lunch. It is close to downtown Bozeman to do the walk along the shops and grab a beer.

Don’t judge a hotel by the exterior

Recently remodeled room was a surprise. Nice size king room, great A/C, and new inside. You can walk to Wall Drug or a three minute drive. They give you breakfast coupons for a badlands bar/saloon across the street from Wall Drug. You have 3 choices of breakfasts and worked for us. Loved all the signs on I-90 about Wall Drug. It is a hoot, lots of fun. They need to badly repair the exterior. The staff is friendly.

Great location but very rustic

The cabin is close to Crater Lake and walking distance to the Rogue River and falls which are beautiful. The cabin has no wifi or TV. Walking on the floors are like a ship at sea or you are drunk. The bathroom toilet has a foot space to squeeze to it between the sink and shower. The faucets dripped all night. The bed was comfortable. It has a kitchen too. I gave it 3 bones as there is nothing around there to stay so a good place to get some zzz's after a visit to Crater Lake.

Location was great and beds comfortable

There is a large grassy area for your pup. It was picked up and clean. We had a 2nd floor room but stairs went down to the lobby if your pup does not like elevators. The staff was friendly. The room is dated, could use a refresh.

New and clean

Our first time staying in Avid hotel. It's very dog friendly, has hard floor surfaces in the room. We had 1st floor so easy in and out with our dog. There is a dog area with artificial turf. Good thing cause everywhere is rock. The dog area was picked up too. Thank you doggie parents.

Best hotel with lots of grassy areas

This hotel is updated with hard laminate floors. The stay was comfortable except the squeaky springs when you roll over in bed. We had a ground floor so that was convenient to carry luggage. I do not think they have an elevator for the second floor. The breakfast was minimal but lots of restaurants and quick food next door. This hotel had the most grass area for our dog. UF was playing at home so hotels were sold out. It was perfect for our one night stay.

Easy access to I-10

We wanted to be on the east side of Houston, past rush hour traffic for our morning departure. This was it. The hotel has a gated property with electric gates for safety. The room had a sitting area which we look for to play ball with our dog. It had only one TV while other La Quintas with this room layout had 2 flat screens. Bummer. The black out shades were worn. The bed and pillows were comfortable for a good nights sleep. The breakfast was just ok. The eggs were like rubber. There were biscuits and white gravy with pepper which was good as I do not eat meat. The usual bagels and bread for toast. You had to take it out of the bag as if you just bought it from the store. The staff was friendly. It did not have a hair dryer or conditioner for hair.

Great location and fairly new

This is one of the better La Quintas. We had the king room with sitting area so had 2 flat screens. Nice feature. The extra room lets us play ball with our dog 😀. The bed and pillows were comfortable for a good nights sleep. It has 2 dog runs with artificial turf. The breakfast was good with eggs, potatoes, sausage, bagels, etc. On a side note, the Big Bend National Park is beautiful. It is 3-4 hours drive from Ft Stockton.

Elevator did not work

I read reviews of this hotel and warned the elevator did not work but that was 3 weeks ago so expected it to be fixed. It was not, bummer. Up and down stairs with luggage. The hotel has grassy areas but they are dead and the shrubbery is dying. I asked the front desk if they water, she said yes. I don’t think so. We had 2 queen beds. The one queen bed was concave. I reported to the front desk. The breakfast was usual hotel buffet.

Great location

We enjoyed the stay and close to friends. The accommodations were comfortable and quiet. The room had a sitting area so we could play fetch in the room. There is a grassy area for Fido. No free breakfast but it does have on-site restaurant and bar.

Great location, clean, comfortable

The lodge was very accommodating. The rooms were not smoky as other reviews stated. It is dog friendly too. Georgetown is a quaint town. Easy to get around. A few places across the street to eat or a 5 min drive into town. The lodge provides waffles, yogurt, coffee, muffins for breakfast. We used the banquet room for a small family gathering. The lake and views are gorgeous.

Great location near airport

We were on a road trip and had to pick up guests at DIA in the morning. This hotel is 12 miles from DIA which sounds far but only one exit away to DIA as it is out there. The room was a two room suite, super comfortable. The dog is welcome but not as pet friendly as other Drury’s. The evening kickback was nice with a couple alcohol drinks. You don’t have to leave again to find food. The hot breakfast in the morning is delicious. We love Drury.

Right on Main Street

After being on the road all day, it is nice to stop at a comfortable lodge and be able to walk to dinner. Many choices of restaurants. The room had hard surface flooring, with a retro microwave and refrigerator. It is well maintained property.

An hour from Bryce Canyon

This is glamping and very dog friendly. We had a deluxe cabin with our own personal bathroom. There are other accommodations, campsites, airstream trailers, campsites, RV spaces. And tiny cabins with no bathroom you have to use the bathhouse which is very nice. That is not for us when you have to use the bathroom at night, No TV. That was a shock. We are in our 70s and enjoy watching TV at night. There is a fridge and microwave in the room. You have to go to the lounge for coffee. I am not sure if all accommodations are pet friendly but they stress they are pet friendly. There is no food truck on Tuesday nights which is when we were there. The cabin was great. The other amenities are not what we are used to.

I was impressed by the updated and clean room. There is a nice area for your on-leash dog to roam around. The area has tables and fire pits. They provide s’mores ingredients. Very nice. Only con was the breakfast, it was just ok.

The hotel is dated. Our room door had daylight around it if that tells you anything. Then we had people staying on our hall with children with doors slamming till midnight.

Best dog park ever

Well maintained, large area, water stations and poop stations. Very clean and picked up. I cannot rave about this enough. We traveled 2000 miles and this was our pups chance to be off leash with other dogs to run around. He was so happy.

Comfortable stay

Best location within walking distance to bathhouse row and the cute downtown. You can walk the national park trails or take the scenic drive a few minutes away. The room was comfortable, but a little dated. The evening reception is nice and made-to-order eggs for a nice breakfast. There is a nice grassy area for your pup.

Hard surface floors

We traveled over 8000 miles across the USA. We looked for pet-friendly rooms with hard surface floors as they have fewer prior pet smells. This room was large with a sofa. Nice, clean, comfortable with the usual breakfast bar.

Comfortable stay

This was a nice overnight stay. It was close to the restaurant row. There was a grassy place to take your dog. There was leftover poop; I cannot understand pet owners that do not pick up after their pets. Clean. quiet, comfortable.

Great location

The hotel was in a great location but not updated at all. It was clean, quiet, and a good place to sleep. We enjoyed dinner at Manitou Brewing Company with a nice covered patio for our mini-bernedoodle. In the morning, we skipped the continental breakfast and went to Uncle Sam's pancake house that also had a nice covered patio that was pet friendly. Highly recommend the restaurants. Close to Garden of the Gods and the quaint downtown of Manitou Springs.
