What to Look for in a Pet-Friendly Hotel 🦴

Here’s what we look for (and what you should, too) when choosing a hotel for you and your four-legged sidekick:

✔️ Clear, upfront pet policies

You shouldn’t have to dig through fine print. Look for hotels that list pet fees, size limits, and rules without guesswork.

✔️ No “gotcha” fees or breed/size bans

The best dog-friendly hotels in Seattle welcome big dogs, small dogs, and all well-behaved pups in between.

✔️ On-site or nearby pet relief areas

Green space matters, especially in the city. Bonus points for hotels near dog parks, waterfront paths, or walkable neighborhoods.

✔️ Amenities that make pets feel at home

Bowls, beds, treats, and dog-walking services—Seattle pet-friendly hotels that offer these are worth the stay.

✔️ Real guest reviews from other pet parents

We always look for firsthand experiences from travelers who brought their dogs (and sometimes cats!).
