I do my best to keep the site up-to-date, but hotels change their branding and policies without warning. I invite you to use the comment form below to notify me of expired links and policy changes, or to suggest how I could make this site more helpful. Most of all, I encourage visitors to tell me what city or region needs more pet-free coverage!
I try to add hotel suggestions in a week or two, after which I roll off those comments. My thanks to all contributors!
Please write your hotel reviews elsewhere as this site does not make recommendations or endorsements. For personal inquiries, please send a note to info [at] petfreehotels.com.
BTW: thanks for hosting this website. I too have an allergy to pet dander. I can generally tell if a pet has been in a hotel room within an hour after checking-in; watering red eyes, stuffy sinuses, sometimes headaches. While the overwhelming majority of business travelers do not travel with animals, it seems increasingly difficult to find a pet-free hotel. Many hotels seem to put pets before people. How sad.
Thank you so much for this website. If you need to be anywhere that pets are not involved, people accuse you of being an animal hater. We happen to be migraine sufferers and get very ill so we have stopped travelling. Also, others in our circle have been attacked and are traumatized but it seems as if these groups are discriminated against. Pets come before people in every venue now. Appreciate this website so much.
I. agree with you 💯 %. I have allergies and within 15 minutes in a hotel room I know there been a pet in the room. I have nothing against pets but the hotel should have an entire floor that doesn’t allow pets.
To Janet G:
I stayed in a hotel that had 1 floor entirely free of pets, and it didn’t work. I figured it out: the pets may not’ve been allowed on the floor, but the linens are all washed together (possibly pillows cycled through) and worse, the vacuum cleaners apparently weren’t ‘floor specific’ either… had to check out the next day.
Thank you for this site. I had been looking for a while to find such. Front desk workers always get mad at me for complaining about incessant barking. “This is a pet-friendly hotel.” That shouldn’t mean that barking is allowed. Then I’m offered a different room. Why should I have to move? … Thanks for letting me vent. [Comment shortened for length – CHC]
Thank you for putting together this site for all allergy sufferers! It is almost impossible these days to find hotels that are pet-free (not including service animals). I spend hours searching for a reasonably-priced hotel that is pet-free, so I am looking forward to using this database.
I very much appreciate the work you’ve put into this!
Thank you so so much for providing this service. I get infuriated every time I do an Internet search for pet-free or no pets hotels and get a list of pet friendly hotels instead. People should enjoy their pets at home at not spread their dirt, bacteria, and noise on others.
AMEN!
Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I am highly allergic to animal dander and find it frustrating when searching for a hotel that doesn’t allow pets. Now, this will be my first stop in searching for a hotel.
Thank you for your comments and suggestions. Just to clarify, I do not list hotels who offer designated pet-free floors or pet-free rooms while allowing pets elsewhere. I understand that this eliminates some hotels, but my objective is to help folks avoid animals — excepting service animals — entirely during their stay. I’ll review your suggestions and add them as soon as I can. Thank you for visiting and please suggest the site to your friends.
Oh God how wonderful it would be to have hotels that are Pet Free to have only certain floors for service animals. I have very bad lung issues that flare up with any sign of Pet Dander. I have to call the hotels one by one even though Pet Free and find one that has only certain floors for service Animals. I feel like we are pushed aside, I get so stressed when I have to find a hotel. Thank you for this site at least it eliminates having to search each one and of course there is not option in the search tab for Pet free only Pet friendly. We suffer in silence.
Thank you for your comment Germaine, I’m glad you find this site useful. I wish every commenter and visitor would let me know what areas need more coverage, on our way to 4000 pet-free hotels.
Thank you for coming up with this site. Much needed! Nothing agaisnt pets but it gets unconfortable for a lot of guests in hotels. Alergies and Noise – Not a pleasant experience. Hopefully this website works towards creating a peaceful sleep environment in hotels free from disruptions caused by barking dogs, similar to efforts made to create smoke-free environments in the past.
Good Morning! I found your site by typing in an Internet search for ‘pet free hotels’. Like many commenters here, my husband can detect if a pet has been in the room within an hour and the symptoms start. We love animals but don’t want to know that they’ve been in the beds, barking, shedding, etc.
I found this site by searching for “pet free hotels”. I know this is recent because that searches only showed pet friendly hotels before. It’s a sad state of life when you can easily find child free options but everyone assumes you want to mingle with their animals on your own dime. More people need to show interest in pet free places and so this website is an amazing start of that journey. I will be using it to help with my vacation planning.
Thank you Nikki for your support!
Excellent point ~
Spent an entire weekend afternoon looking for a pet free hotel in the area I’m staying in, allergies, etc., because the inn I was staying in I eventually figured out was, is over run by dogs. Left that hotel and went to another, Holiday Inn, except, unfortunately again I found out they allow pets. The dog owners are basically using disabled people and an ADA law to get their pets, dogs, into Holiday Inn.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! we road trip alot and so appreciate this site. No more Benadryl to survive a night!
thank you so much for doing this!
Thank you for this site!
I have severe animal allergies and asthma. It has become very difficult to find pet-free hotels, especially in the Rocky Mountain states. It often takes me hours of searching and calling. I saw your website suggested in a comment on a pet-free forum and immediately downloaded the app. Found a pet-free hotel for an upcoming trip to Sedona in 10 seconds– wow! Thank you so much for this great service. I will recommend to others.
Thanks for your site. I just stayed at a pet-free hotel. I was on the 5th floor, thinking they put the service animals on lower floors. Well, I was wrong. The room stunk. I understand people with disabilities need a hotel that places them in rooms, but the hotels must track the rooms, inform customers, and stop pretending there is a dander because of a service animal. Humans have rights, too. For those of us with serious allergies and asthma, it can be awful and even life-threatening. Thanks for your site. I will check next time I travel. Rudy
Hi! I had left a comment in spring of this year re trying a hotel that offered ‘allergy-free rooms’ [a Hampton Inn near Harrisburg] and said I would get back to you on how it was. The answer: not so good! The pet-free rooms – not so much – the linens apparently were all washed together, and probably the same vacuum from 1 floor to the next… so we can’d 2nd res. and went to the other in the same area which was a pet friendly hotel, but the receptionist took some time checking the room hx, put us on a high floor and it was perfect. Thanks again for your site.
Thanks for writing. This is one of the reasons I do not list hotels that offer ‘pet-friendly’ rooms on this site.
Thank you. Thank you . Thank you!
My son is Autistic and cynophobic ( fear of dogs) . Your site will enable me to take him on a ‘road trip’ to Yellowstone , minimizing my worry about pets. Awesome ! Thx again.
Huge Thank You for having this site, I will continue to refer to it when needed.
I found a link to your site on Reddit. Thank you!
My son has pet allergies, and it’s tough (and time consuming) to find hotels that aren’t pet-friendly.
The Grand Hyatt Washington in Washington DC states that it does not permit pets other than service animals. I didn’t see it listed on your site.
Thank you for your find (and how you found our site)! Will add your suggestion very soon!
Thank you so much for this site, Craig! I found it by searching for “hotels that do not allow pets.” I was actually looking for an extended-stay hotel as I’m thinking of moving out due to a nearby tenant’s ESA (yeah, right) in our no-dogs-allowed building. At the risk of being indelicate, I say anything that cr*ps outside needs to stay outside.
Anyway, I came across Suburban Studios Milwaukee Airport offered by Choice Hotels. The reviews aren’t promising for this extended-stay hotel; hopefully the property will up its game soon.
Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you C for your comment! And this will inspire me to enhance the coverage in the Milwaukee area.
You are a lifesaver. Thank you so much. Anyhwhere near a dog environment and I am in hospital on nebulizers and it takes 2 months to recover from lung inflammation.
Thank you so much for providing this service. My son is Autistic and extremely afraid of dogs. We just finished a road trip from Jacksonville fl to Yellowstone. It was the greatest! And this website made for ‘smooth sailing’ . I am forever indebted and am already planning another from Fl to California. You have helped create lifelong memories:) Be well! JG & jg
I’m staying at the Sunset Chateau in Sedona Arizona right now and they do not take pets. (Bliss).
There is incredible amount of demand for this kind of information,
as these days it’s so difficult to find pet free hotels,
as hotel platforms just don’t provide such information.
The world has gone crazy and
we need to put hotels which favor animals over humans out of business.
forgot to mention important point.
Go global and provide information on pet free hotels around the world, not just US.
There is huge demand.
Excellent point ~
Fairfield Inn and Suites in Bismarck, ND (Bismarck North) is also pet-free. We just stayed there, and it noted “No Pets” other than service animals (which is understandable). The staff was helpful, and the rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet.
While many have reasons to stay in pet-free hotels (we have a few), our biggest concern years ago was one of our children had asthma. Pet dander and hairs can wreak havoc on anyone w/asthma, especially children but certainly adults, as well. While I have nothing against dogs themselves, I want a comfortable QUIET room w/o yelping dogs, and the biggest concern is that I’ve yet to see any breeds that are banned. I don’t want a visit ruined by a menacing animal. Thank you so much for posting this site ~ I was so glad to find this online as we have been interested in finding such for some time. You have helped many individuals by doing so.
P.S. The internet also needs to do a better job to help individuals to find sites such as yours. So many times when doing a search for “pet-free” it comes up as “pet-friendly” (which is NOT what I asked for!). Ugh ~
Thanks for your website. I recently stayed at a few Marriotts and was appalled at the Dog allowances. I emailed Marriott Customer Service but I don’t know how effective it will be in making changes as I am not even sure if it reached anywhere near the Corporate Level.
I inquired of Marriott as to which of their hotel brands strictly do not allow pets (excluding service animals). Their reply was the Marriott Vacation Club and the Gaylord Hotels. Obviously, these are not hotels that one frequents on a routine travel visit!
The email address I was given to file a complaint with Marriott was as follows: bonvoy.program @ marriott.com
Perhaps a mass complaint from their consumers will help in getting these outrageous policies changed.
(I heard about your website just from surfing the internet about hotels that did not allow dogs)
Sorry about your experience — I am not convinced there are *any* 100% pet-free brands. You would think this “niche” would be a marketing opportunity that at least one of the corporate bigs would seize upon. It would be a start if hotel chains made their pet policies visible and easily searchable. Pets for travelers should be treated like peanuts for those with food allergies.
Thanks so much for your hard work for putting this together! I only wish my wife and i could have found you sooner! We are just finishing up a two week road trip from Arkansas to Glacier. We stay primarily in Comfort Inns due to them being one of the last to allow pets, however this trip has been nothing short of miserable as the majority now do. The hotels have now become more dog friendly than people friendly with treats for the dogs but nothing for the kids. We got little rest with dogs barking off and on all night, dog owners opening and slamming the doors all hours of the night taking their dogs out. Keep up the good service as we will use you suggestions for hotels in the future.
Thank you so much
Found your site a few years ago, left comments then. Thanks again for doing this!
Are you willing / able to add properties in Canada?
Pet free in Cape May NJ – We recently stayed @ :
Cape Harbor Motor Inn (609) 884-0018 capeharbormotorinn@gmail.com
https://www.capeharbormotorinn.com/rates.html
• Sorry, no pets, please.
• All rooms are non-smoking.
Thanks for your continued interest, and for your suggestion! I will add it soon. I think I need to keep the site restricted to the US, because (a) the US is big enough task for one person and (b) I’m not familiar with the website rules of other countries.
Baymont Inn Groton-Mystic CT allows pets. They have a number of guests here currently with dogs. The hotel owner has confirmed this.
Thanks for letting me know — I have written to Wyndham to ask them to explain the discrepancy and clarify their policy. If I don’t hear from them, I’ll remove the listing (if not sooner, based on the reports I’ve seen).
