Hotels where we can stay with our dog?

La quinta Inn is pet friendly. Unlike other hotels, they don't charge obnoxious pet fees either.

La Quinta Inn and Suites are usually my first choice when traveling with a dog. They rarely charge a pet fee, and the accomodations are fab!

The Marriott Residence Inn in Cary accepts pets.

Another thought, could you board the dog with a local vet or local boarding facility. I'm not sure if it would be more expensive or less in the long run. Just another option to consider.

Edit: By local I meant a boarder here in the Triangle.

We have had to learn about pet-friendly hotels since we got a small dog back in 2002.
A few notes:
LaQuinta Inns ALWAYS allow pets. No fees, or restrictions.
Red Roof Inns allow pets, but most of them put pets in smoking rooms, only. That can be a problem if you are sensitive to smoking residue.
Almost all the Marriott hotels have pet policies, usually involving a "cleaning fee" Residence Inn charges $125 one time fee.
Holiday Inns usually allow pets, while Holiday Inn Express seldom do.
Many Super 8 hotels allow pets, and few charge fees.
Ramada usually charges fees.

LaQuinta Inn at Crabtree Mall takes pets. My parents have stayed there twice and really like it!

I believe the Radisson at RTP will allow pets.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Durham - RTP area (South Miami Boulevard) and it was very nice. Great breakfast, too. They charge a fee though, so I'd probably go to LaQuinta the next time I stay over in the area. There's a LaQuinta on 15/501 bet. Durham and Chapel Hill and one somewhere in RTP.
