Pet Friendly-- Need Info

[kilee]

I'm going to give the pet friendly lodging thread an overhaul for our Diser's that like to travel w/ their furbabies. If anyone has reviews of places they've stayed recently w/ their pet's, I'd like to include that. Please include any additional fee's you paid for bringing your pets.

Thanks!

As has been noted, the Loews Hotels @ Universal Orlando are very pet friendly. There's no additional fee. The Hard Rock Hotel & Portifino Bay Hotel are our hotels of choice in Orlando.

Last month we went to Orlando for a quick getaway before our DS started back to school & to visit the Comedy Warehouse & Adventurers Club before they closed. Since we weren't going to UO, we stayed at the Holiday Inn Sunspree. I was a bit concerned, since we're used to nicer hotels. I shouldn't have been! We had a great stay & are most likely returning next month for a WDW trip. The room was clean & they were very accommodating w/ Molly.

We had a room with a king bed & twin size bunk beds behind a divider. Ours wasn't a typical Kid's Suite like you see on the site, but worked better for teenagers. (There wasn't a door between the king & bunkbeds.) There were 2 tvs. The tv in the bunkbed side of the room had a speaker in the wall for sound. We also had a mini-fridge, microwave & coffee maker. Our DS & his girlfriend enjoyed the arcade. The pool looked nice, but we didn't have time to use it. I don't know about housekeeping, since we clean up after ourselves rather than have a stranger come in & scare our 4-legged baby girl. There was a $40/ stay fee. On a less positive note, avoid the breakfast buffet!!! It was nasty & not cheap!

when the new Hilton at Bonnet creek opens - it is surpose to be pet friendly - this is not on Disney property. but closer than DTD.

there is also another resort going in at BC - that is also pet friendly (will try and find the name)

of course this was before the last financial disaster....

I'm crossing my fingers that the Hilton will indeed be pet-friendly when they open. Some Hilton's are listed as pet-friendly, but don't accept pets.

Sorry, I don't know anything about Vets in the Orlando area. Our Vet's an hour away, but I somehow doubt you'll want to drive that far.
