What makes a hotel pet friendly?

For starters, it’s any hotel that allows pets, and does not charge any excessive fees for bringing your dog or cat. Some hotels will insist on a security or cleaning deposit up front just in case your dog or cat has an accident.

But there are a number of hotels that go above and beyond in welcoming pets with special services. Kimpton Hotels offer pet treats and some even offer a doggie turn down service.

And in Honolulu, the Surfjack Hotel has a very special pet service. They offer surfing lessons you can take, with, your dog or even alongside one of the local rescue dogs.
