Did somebody say car ride? If I learned anything from John Steinbeck it’s that there may be no better travel companion than a dog — and I don’t mean putting your dog in your purse and going to the supermarket. That’s not travel, that’s a cry for help. I’m talking a good ol’ road trip with a pooch that sits in the backseat with their tongue flapping out the window and their eyes on the prize (the prize in this scenario being adventure). A good dog is a trusted friend, a faithful guardian and the perfect road trip pillow. Dogs are family. Which makes it hard to leave them behind on family vacations… but what if you didn’t have to? A growing number of hotels are allowing dogs to stay overnight. Most of them require a set of fees or deposits, which is understandable, but some hotels offer full on pampering. I recently stayed at the W Hotel in San Diego , which only charges $25 above the daily room charge per pet, which is one of the cheaper rates I’ve seen. There is a non-refundable $100 cleaning fee, but that seems fair. I love dogs but I wouldn’t want to stay in a fancy hotel covered in pet hair
