I do my best to keep the site up-to-date, but hotels change brands and policies without warning. I invite you to notify me of dead links, policy changes and new pet-free hotels. And please let me know how I could make the site more helpful. (Click here for the comment form.)
I try to add your hotel suggestions within the week, after which I roll off those comments. Everyone who searches here for pet-free hotels will thank you!
Please write hotel reviews elsewhere as this site does not make recommendations or endorsements. For personal inquiries, 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.
Yes! They are doing this everywhere and it is SO unfair to the many thousands of us Terrible allergy sufferers who are allergic to their “service animals” (who are actually “emotional support animals” Not ADA supported) or just plain pets!
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.
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 ~
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 ~ [Comment edited for length – CHC]
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?
Thanks for your continued interest — 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 wrote to Wyndham to ask them to explain but I didn’t hear from them, so I removed the listing.
I found your site by searching for no pet hotels. I have an ADA covered respiratory condition triggered by cat/dog dander and their proteins. I like others have spent countless hours searching for hotels that are allergy/asthma friendly or have a strict no pet policy. I have found in California that some pet owners will take their dogs every where with them because no one questions them. This includes no pet and service animal only establishments. There appears to be no enforcement measures to ensure a dog is an ADA trained service animal. We need legislation in place to protect allergy/asthma sufferers who have to avoid animals to be able to breathe. ADA accommodations for people with respiratory conditions that are exacerbated by the presence of dogs/animals appears to be nonexistent. Some no pet hotels I’ve contacted inform me they allow service dogs and can’t guarantee no dog has been in the room. We need legislation in place to protect the ADA rights and to accommodate travelers with breathing/respiratory conditions triggered by animals. I thank you for your time and energy to provide us with a hotel no pet policy website. It is greatly appreciated and I will provide you with the few hotels that I found enforce their no pet policy.
Thank you — I look forward to your suggestions.
Thank you for this site ! I was trying to find something like this for ages !! I think it is the first pet free hotel site ever ! It is very useful for millions of people who do not want to stay with pets for any reason ! Please apply to European hotels too !! Thanks again ! Keep on !!
Thanks for your support — doing US hotels is enough work!
Suggestions for CHC:
Kon Tiki Inn, Pismo Beach CA
Sea Venture Hotel, Pismo Beach CA
Mayumi Hotel, Culver City CA
The above are no pet hotels that I have found in 2025.
Thanks for your suggestions MJ – I have added the Kon Tiki to the list, but I was unable to find online pet policy info for the other two, and the Mayumi does not allow links to its website without its permission. I appreciate your help!
Suggestion: The Holiday Inn Express & Suites West Chester in West Chester, PA is pet-free.
Was unable to find their pet policy on their site directly but was able to confirm pet-free-ness by calling the front desk. In my experience so far Holiday Inn Express properties seem to almost always be pet-free.
Thanks AA for your suggestion — their pet policy is included in their FAQ section. I will add this hotel in this week’s update. Thanks!
Several suggestions:
Americinn * Tomah, WI
Royal Motel * Hudson, WI
Country Inn & Suites * Germantown, WI
Budget Host (formerly Lincoln Host) * Escanaba, MI
Americinn * Princeton, IL
Thank you! I’ll attend to these in the next update.
Just found your site on Google search!
Thanks for updating it, here’s a pet free hotel just south of Brentwood, TN we have stayed in often.
Found your site by searching for pet-free hotels and so happy when I can choose one! I was at the Marriott Bethesda last weekend and wondered, somewhat cynically, if it’s a “pets not allowed” hotel due to it’s location across the walkway from Marriott Headquarters (thus where upper executives might stay.) I am also surprised that no hotel chain has chosen “pets free” as a marketing angle. There are a lot of us out here, plus business travelers who left theirs home and are thus pet neutral.
Thanks Tom and Robi for checking in! Tom, the hotel you mentioned was already in the list.
Courtyard by Marriott Wayne Fairfield NJ is pet free
THANK YOU for this website!! I have spent hours and sometimes days searching for pet free hotels. VERY frustrating. I just made a reservation at Quality Inn Cherokee, NC they are pet free. I’m sure there are a lot more hotels it just takes time and effort to find them. Good luck
Thank you, Todd and Irish, for your suggestions! I will add these and more in the next update.
There is such a thing as a Pet Hotel- it’s called a Kennel. Letting dogs, cats, lions tigers and bears stay in a hotel is disgusting and filthy. How do Health Dept’s allow this ? And I love that hotel owners charge extra to pet owners for “Deep cleaning”. I’ve never once witnessed a deep cleaning (whatever that means) in a pet friendly hotel. These hotels have no concept of how many people find pets in a room disgusting. Pet free hotels need to do better job advertising
Have used and commented here before; thank you again for doing this!
A hotel to add to your list:
in Lancaster PA (actually Paradise PA – I don’t know how narrowly you name the area(s) – most people wouldn’t know to look under Paradise… Lancaster is probably the better locator name…)
https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/book/hotels-in-paradise/best-western-plus-revere-inn-suites/propertyCode.39020.html
Best Western Plus Revere Inn & Suites
3063 Lincoln Highway E (US 30), Paradise, Pennsylvania 17562 United States
Smoking Policy
100% smoke-free hotel
Pet Policy
Pets are not accepted.
Pet free, no smoking, we stay there almost every year and have never had an issue.
Thanks again!
Aloft Jacksonville Tapestry Park, zero dog fee.
Hi Denise, I think you misunderstood the purpose of this site — it’s for hotels that don’t allow pets, not ones that allow pets to stay for free.
Love your site.
The Courtyard by Marriott Weston in Weston, FL just outside of Ft Lauderdale and 15 minutes from the Ft Lauderdale Int’l airport is a great hotel that has a no pet policy. I’ve stayed there a number of times. caceat: If you are also allergic or sensitive to air fresheners or scented products, ask housekeeping not to spray them in advance. They will honor the request.
Thank you all for your recent suggestions!
First of all, thank you for creating this website. I have severe allergies with asthma that is triggered by animals, and it is getting more and more difficult to find pet free hotels. Marriott in South Padre Island Texas is also pet free. I found your site through a Google. search.
Thank you for the suggestion, Sue — I will take care of it in my next update.
SpringHill Suites by Marriott Wilmington Wrightsville Beach North Carolina now allows pets
Thank you for letting me know. It may be time to re-review all of North Carolina.
Spring Hill Suites in Lafayette, La. is service animals only. I called them to double check last week
