Road trip -California, Oregon & Washington - taking son to look at colleges - traveling with all three dogs!

[Kara Haines]

Hi all,

We are taking our son to look for colleges this summer in California, Oregon & Washington.  We will be traveling with all three dogs. 

 

We were wondering if anyone had suggestions on pet friendly lodging. Last year we stayed at a few KOA camprgrounds (cabins).  We really liked it but not all areas have a KOA. 

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Kara

We stay at Red Roof Inn. Most of them let pets for free, but each has different policy, and I'm not sure if they have limit for number of pets. Have fun!

Marriott Residence Inn allows pets--most of them anyway.

I normally use Dogfriendly.com for the areas I'm going to be in as they list hotels in towns and even along some interstates.

I really like La Quinta. They are very dog friendly, pets stay free. They are also clean and nice!

What colleges willl you be looking at?  Just wondering.

We have traveled all over with our dogs and are usually able to find hotels that welcome well-behaved dogs.  When I tell them our dogs are labradoodles and live in our house, people seem to know what that means.  If you come by this way, try to stop in Carmel, CA, because it is the most dog-friendly town around (at least on the west coast).  Make sure to let us know if you are in this area because my dogs love company.

Please remember that it is already very hot in the car in many places in California.

Does anyone know if  Kara will have a problem with three dogs? Sometimes when we camp in our RV, the campgrounds have a limit of two - so we just combine our doodles into one dog.....

Oh I've been tossing road trip ideas around - Best Western is another good chain -
