We stayed one night at this hotel. I would agree that it is pet friendly and the staff were very friendly! The hotel is in need of major upgrades including a recommendation to remove the musty moist carpet. The tile near the bathrooms was quite slippery as if there were a film on the floor. Our room door did not close properly and the toilet seat was messed up. The bed was comfortable and the linen very clean. Furniture in room was so stained and should be cleaned or replaced. We happened to stay during a large event in town and breakfast was packed. But the food was good and enough options available. If you need a place to stay with your pet, this is an options it’s just showing its age.

The La Quinta Inn off I-20 in West Monroe, La did not disappoint. We stayed one night with our dog traveling west. The hotel, while a bit dated is clean, comfortable, and accommodating. Our bedroom was clean (2nd floor is the dog rooms). The bathroom was older but had everything we needed including Dove shower products.
There are plenty of eateries around including Cracker Barrel, Outback, Logan’s. There is a great brewing company only 7 minutes away called Flying Heart Brewing that is dog friendly and has great pizza and brews. The best part of the hotel stay is the nature trail adjacent to the La Quinta Inn. Thanks to other reviewers we opted to stay here and it was very enjoyable. Our pup loved the nice 30 minute walk through the trees and watched a few squirrels and turtles in the marsh.

It’s not a 5 star hotel, but it’s nicely located on I-20, has reasonable accommodations, free breakfast, and a place for your dog. 👍🏻

The TownePlace Suites in Monroe was very accommodating and dog friendly. $75 pet fee which is a bit high (ergo the 4 dog bone rating) but very convenient off I-20 near a mall, Olive Garden, Applebees. It included a limited breakfast. Several areas for dog walking. Gas stations nearby. Spacious rooms with microwave and fridge.

The Holiday Inn Express in DeFuniak Springs, Florida was super dog friendly with lots of grassy areas for dog walking. Good rooms but I wish the floors were vinyl plank. Breakfast at HIE never disappoints and was particularly great here and the rooms were clean and comfy. Very friendly staff.

Best Western Plus in Sweetwater is a nice place. Easy on and off I-20. Dog friendly rooms have been recently upgraded to vinyl plank flooring. Large walking area with grass. Hotel provides breakfast and our pooched like a little eggs with her breakfast. For human food there is a cute and wonderful restaurant called Bucks that has amazing food. We ordered to-go and ate in our room.
