If you have pets and you travel a lot, you know how hard it can be to either find someone to watch your pets or to board them. With hotel stays at Extended Stay America, you don’t need to leave your pets at home.
Hotel stays with your pets
I love traveling, but I always miss my animals! I can’t imagine being away from them for extended periods of time, but I know people do have to be on the road for weeks or even months sometimes. Hotel stays at Extended Stay America make it possible for you to be away from home without being away from your pets! In fact, they are a member of the Petfinder® Foundation!
Extended Stay America hotels have designated pet-friendly rooms for your entire family to stay together. This way, if you are traveling, you don’t have to leave your dog or cat behind! The hotel rooms allow up to 2 pets to stay with you when you travel. There is a fee for your pets, but this is a good thing! It ensures that your room will be clean and fumigated each time a family with pets checks out. When you check in, your room will be safe for your family and pets.
If you are staying for 8 nights or more, one free “full service” housekeeping is provided per week. When you’re staying for a shorter period of time, you can get fresh linens at the front desk. If you would like daily housekeeping, you can get it for $10 a day. You may want to consider it if your pet is a shedder, but it isn’t required.
Hotel room
The room that my daughter and I stayed in was very large! We had a queen suite room that had 2 queen sized bed, a kitchen, a sofa bed, recliner, desk and television. This was the view as we walked into the room. There is a fairly large hallway with a large closet and the kitchen was also off of the hallway. The sofa and recliner were really comfortable! This made us feel right at home. We were able to relax, surf the internet with the free WiFi, and watch television in a comfortable atmosphere.
Having a kitchen when you travel is the best. This kitchen has plenty of room to move around and plenty of storage for all of your groceries. Everything you need for cooking is kept at the front desk. This ensures all of your kitchen items will be clean and sanitized when you use them. I think this is a great thing! You don’t have to trust that someone who stayed before you washed them correctly.
The beds are very comfortable, so you will get a good night’s sleep during your hotel stays at Extended Stay America. The bedding was very comfortable as well. I am really picky about my sheets, and these were just perfect!
Amenities
Since we only stayed for two nights, we didn’t take advantage of all of the amenities offered during hotel stays at Extended Stay America. One that we did love was the grab and go breakfast. They offer instant oatmeal, muffins, granola bars, coffee, and tea. Both mornings we grabbed some food and headed back up to our comfy kitchen to eat. It’s a very satisfying meal and one less thing you have to buy if you will be staying long term. Free breakfast is definitely a must-have when I travel.
Another great amenity at Extended Stay America is having a laundry facility right in the hotel. If you are traveling for an extended trip, you are going to need to do laundry. It is great that you don’t have to go out and find a laundromat and lug your laundry around. You can do it all right there. When you’ve got pets with you, you’re bound to need to do lots of laundry if the shed like mine do!
Free WiFi and free parking are two amenities I really appreciate when I travel. Hotel stays can get costly if you have to add on fees. There is an option for enhanced WiFi. If your kids bring any gaming systems or a lot of you are using multiple devices in your room, you may want to pay for this enhanced WiFi.
These are just a few of the amenities provided during hotel stays at Extended Stay America. Different hotels also offer different services, so you’ll want to check your particular site to see which amenities you’ll receive.
Where will you stay?
Do you travel for extended periods of time? Are your pets good travelers, and do you take them on vacations with you? Check out Extended Stay America the next time you travel! I highly recommend them!
I also want to add that the front desk staff we dealt with were so nice! One time when I did a media stay at a hotel, only one staff member I dealt with was very sweet. The others were really snooty. It was so nice to deal with people who were kind and knew how to treat customers! Thank you, Extended Stay America Westlake, for the amazing stay!
That is fully awesome! No more having to board my dogs. Or at least, not as often. Thanks for the heads up on this!
You’re welcome! Hope you can find one when you travel!
Extended Stay America just became my new favorite hotel! I love that I don’t have to board my puppies. If I can find one of their hotels, we’re all set.
It is awesome being able to take your dogs with you when you travel!
Extended Stay America looks like a fabulous hotel option. A suite that size would be an amazing asset for our family of five and free breakfast is a total plus too!
Yes, you guys would fit really well in one of their suites.
It’s great that they are making hotel’s pet friendly these days. I know plenty of people who would love to take their pets on vacation with them.
It’s great not having to find a pet sitter!
I always love the extended stay hotels! I love having an actual kitchen! I appreciate that Extended Stay America hotels welcome pets as a pet owner myself. Glad you enjoyed your stay! Too bad you did not get to take advantage of all the amenities!
I love having a kitchen too! It saves so much money!
When my daughter travels, she struggles with finding pet friendly hotels that are nice. I am glad to see the Extended Stay America chain lets you stay with your pet in style!
She definitely needs to check them out!

That’s really fantastic! So clean and very refreshing look. I like this kind of place.

I have heard about how pets can stay at Extended Stays! I think that is such a nice offering! Makes me want to find somewhere to travel to and bring my dog along!
You should! I’m sure it would be fun.
I love that Extended Stay America lets pets stay. I live with my dog and it’s just the two of us. He’s like my baby and leaving him behind would be horrible.
Awww, I agree! I hate leaving my pets!
I have to let my parents know! They are always looking for pet friendly hotels to stay at. I don’t have any dogs atm though
I’m sure they’d enjoy it!
Pet friendly lodging is so important these days! I’m glad more hotels are getting on board with this.
Yes, so many people travel with their pets.
I love that they allow pets in the room! We have never taken an extended vacation, because of our dogs. The hotel room looks very nice as well.
This would be great for you!
Looks like a very nice hotel to stay at! We are always looking for places with kitchenettes in order to save some money on cooking at home – this looks just perfect, especially for longer stays!
It definitely saves a lot of money!
How great!! I love when furry friends can come along!
Me too!
It’s good to know that.
Hi Christy, I am the newest reader of your blog. Today I have read five. I enjoyed this post most. Because I am a big dog lover and like to travel with my dog. I am very happy to know that the Extended Stay America Hotel have designated pet-friendly rooms for their entire family to stay together. I love traveling and most of the time I miss my dog because I could not get him with me. I would like to thank Extended Stay America as they open a pet-friendly hotel. But it is too bad you did not get to take advantage of all the amenities! You should use them and share with us the experience.
