10 Dog friendly hotels you will absolutely love

Being a dog owner is amazing. Dogs are everyone&rsquo-s best friend, confidant and support system. Sure, they drool and they shed and they sometimes chase off the mailman and the neighbors and they sometimes bark in the middle of the night at a lizard on the porch. They&rsquo-re not perfect, but neither are we. Sadly, many of us forget all about our dogs when we travel. They&rsquo-re one of the most important aspects of our family, yet we board them with strangers, leave them home alone with an occasional visit from a friend or family member throughout the day or we just send them to a friend&rsquo-s house and forget about them.

Before you begin criticizing dog owners for their lack of attention to their dogs while traveling, remember that not everywhere you go accepts dogs as guests.

That&rsquo-s why we&rsquo-ve decided to come up with a list of the most fun, most fabulous hotels in the country that are happy to accept your dog as one of their prized guests. Now you can plan your vacations around your dog instead of worrying about boarding him or finding a dog sitter. You are so very welcome.
