My family has traveled with our poodle before, we stayed at a Hampton Inn we had to pay a pet fee but it wasn't an outrageous amount. We were told not all rooms were pet friendly, but the corner rooms on the ground floor were. So we received a room on the ground floor that was right next to an exit door. It was perfect cause it was easy to take our dog outside for walks during our stay and we were at the end of the hall and weren't worried about the dog distributing other guests.
Our dog is small (under 5 pounds), but when we took him to the lobby everyone at the front desk loved him and when we had to leave him in the room one by himself we told the front desk he was going to be in the room alone for awhile and gave them our cell numbers in case he made to much noise.
Our hotel room had an open bathroom floorplan, with a walk in shower (no tub) so we left our dog in the bathroom while we were out of the room. We put his bed and blanket and toys in bathroom with him and he was fine. He hates being in a crate, he will just cry and whimper until he gets out, so the bathroom was our best option. We stopped by the front desk and they said they heard nothing from him, so either he didn't brake or the room/bathroom was soundproof enough that he didn't bother anyone.
We would love to bring our dog to Disney with us, but since we stay on property that's not an option. So we board him in a VIP pet suite at our veteninarians boarding facilities. It's really adorable, it's a good size room for our dog with a tv, window and half door. The rooms are all themed like princesses and cowboys, etc. and we take all his personal things (bed, toys, food, water dish, etc.). However, if we travel outside of Disney (anywhere that except pets) we take our dog with us, he's a really good traveler and loves to be wherever we are.
