Dear Furry Friend

Let’s review some important guidelines of your stay to make it a great experience for all:

• We welcome you here and are happy that you will be staying in one of our special pet designated rooms. Please don’t bring along too many of your friends as we can only have two pets per room. We love you dearly but want to make sure that any future or current guests who might have a pet allergy is not rendered all teary eyed due to being exposed to you or any of our furry friends!
• Did someone say “walk”? Make sure you walk in our pet friendly walk areas. Please stay on your leash at all times when outside of your guestroom.
• We have pet designated bathroom areas located outside. Have your owner take a “pick-up waste bag” on your walk. Complimentary pick-up bags are available at the front desk or in stands conveniently located around the hotel. Picking up after you, ensures healthy conditions for other pets and it is the local law.
• Unfortunately, only “assistance guide dogs” are allowed in any public area that includes but is not limited to the dining area, swimming pool area, meeting/banquet rooms, fitness room, business center and non-pet friendly guestrooms.
• No matter how well adjusted you are at home, you may get lonely and bark when left alone in the guestroom. Please don’t disturb other guests. Have your owner take you with them when they leave the guestroom.
• Shhhhhh. Refrain from barking and whining. If you’re not quiet and we receive two noise or disruptive complaints it’s the doghouse for you. You and your owner will be asked to make alternate arrangements and that would make us very sad.
• “Cujo” you’re not, but your owner must be present and have you restrained while any hotel employee is servicing your guest room (housekeeping, engineering, in-room dining, etc.). We will not enter any guest room that has an unrestrained pet.
• This might be “ruff” for you (and maybe even for your owner) because it’s hard to resist our comfortable beds but pets are not allowed on the beds (or furniture). Our front desk associates can provide a “pet designated” blanket to use during your stay.
• Want to bathe? Our front desk can refer a local groomer should you need a bath, but please – not in our tub.
• Up to 2 of you are allowed per room with an 80 pound weight limit.
• Additional friend types (cats, birds, etc) may be accepted at the hotel’s discretion.
• We have you covered for most all items, but beware that extra fees may be incurred should there be significant additional cleaning or repairs required.

Your owner signed this agreement so they agree to abide by our pet policy and agree to be responsible for any damage to property and/or personal injury to hotel employees and /or other guest that you cause. They also agree to absolve Best Western of any liability if you are injured or cause injury to someone else or someone else’s pet. Thank you in advance for helping us maintain a safe environment and being considerate to all of our furry and non furry guests.
