Needed a place in Hinckley for an event. Easy, convenient location just off I-35. Nothing special, but it did the job for me and my husky. Good parking, and Tobies Tavern and bakery is across the street. (We walked there to pick up dinner.) Would definitely stay again.

Great location. A few miles from downtown. (we walked around the area and picked up dinner from Paisley Pear). Walking distance from other options. (Dessert from Billy Sims BBQ). The hotel was clean, room was fine. All good. Near the interstate. A solid one-night stop for me and the husky.

During cross country trip, needed a place in the area. Days Inn was a good option. OK price. The reception was very nice and knowledgeable. Comfortable, clean room. Next door Sagebrush restaurant was great dinner option! There is a public park a few block east. And, Oliver reservoir is 8 miles west.

Fine choice. Decent price. Spacious room. And, there was a jacuzzi! (Not sure if my husky would use it). Overall, a worthwhile hotel option!

During cross-country trip with my husky, we stayed in Ogden for a few days. Dog-friendly reception, comfortable room, fitness center, free parking, and other amenities. Great location, although it's a few blocks to get open grass area. Lots of restaurant options and space to walk. Overall, a comfortable stay...

Once we found the hotel, my husky and I enjoyed a nice stay. Lots of space in the suite -- 2 beds, desk, 2 tvs, couch, and tables. Fitness room was well-maintained, spacious, and good equipment. Dinner takeout from Catrina's next door. Overall, a comfortable overnight visit.

Unable to find an inexpensive hotel, I tried the Travelodge (about 80 dollars less than other places). Less than 10 miles north of Lincoln, IL, we pulled into the plain Atlanta motel. Inside the lobby, the temps were quite warm. The young man at check-in was nice and very dog-friendly. (I learned the family had bought the hotel 2 months earlier.). The room was very clean, good wifi, and roku tv. It was warm, but after 15 minutes, the air conditioning unit cooled down the room. Outside, there is plenty of grass area. We passed on breakfast. Shower had tremendous water pressure. Again, nothing fancy, but this place did the job. Next door, the Country-Aire had tasty comfort food and dessert. In downtown, there are lots of Route 66 items and interesting historic items. (A good morning walk with the husky). Overall, this was a great alternative to more expensive hotels.

During cross-county road trip, my husky and I stopped for lunch in LeClaire. Big Dave and Holly's was a fine spot just outside of downtown. Picnic tables in the shade. I ordered turkey cheddar sandwich and fries. Plus, chicken tenders for my dog. Holly and her son brought out ice water and added a small cup of ice cream for my dog. Friendly folks! (and, the food was terrific..).. Would definitely return!

During a day trip around Flaming Gorge, we tried Red Canyon Lodge Restaurant. Outdoor patio with a view of water and duck pond (50 feet away, so my husky was not distracted!). The server, Daniel, was extremely nice. The food was outstanding. Highly recommend.

On the way back through Rawlins, we tried the Hampton Inn. Great facility and amenities. Returned to Deb's Espresso (smoothie and dog biscuit from the ladies), Anong's Thai for dinner. (My husky and I did the Wyoming Prison tour last week. Excellent!).. Nice spot of I-80.

During cross-country trip, we paused in Rawlins. Holiday inn Express is a fine spot on the east side of town.. Nice location, and plenty of places to walk around. Recommendations: Deb's Espresso has great smoothies (and they give my dog a biscuit each time). The Wyoming Prison tour is dog friendly! (and, Anong's has terrific Thai take-out). Rawlins is a worthy stop. And, Holiday Inn was a great choice.

During cross country road trip with my husky, we stopped in Muscatine. The Best Western was a fine hotel. Spacious with good amenities (and air-conditioning).. Decent breakfast; terrific location. Recommendations: Diamond Dave's take-out for dinner. Walk along the river (clam catcher statue, world's largest watermelon slice, and park area). Also, the Pearl Button Museum allowed dogs. Nice artifacts and an excellent short film about the pearl buttons. Overall a worthy stop!

Spent a few days in Nashville. For the 2nd straight year, chose the Candlewood Suites. Location is outstanding. 10 minutes on Rosa Parks Blvd to downtown. Hotel itself is in a spacious area; plus, walking distance to Noble's restaurant (with pet-friendly outdoor seating). Spacious suite and amenities. (No breakfast). A reliable spot.

During trip from Nashville to N. Chicago, stopped in Columbus/Edinburgh. For 2nd time, stayed at La Quinta with my husky. Solid and reliable. Spacious suite, OK breakfast, and walking space. (Nice reception, too..)... Also, walking distance to la Potrina Cantina and Grill for dinner; and, Freddy's Custard for dessert. (both have outdoor seating with pet.)... A great stop along I-65....

Traveling with my 70-pound husky from Casper, Wy to the Teton/Yellowstone area, we stopped in Dubois. Located just off of the Main street is the Stagecoach Inn and Suites. Plenty of parking. Side note: I noticed no smoking and no pets signs on the doors, but I learned the owners had bought the hotel in January. They do allow dogs of all sizes. Owners and staff were very nice. Grass area in the front. We had a pleasant room on the first floor. One king bed, a table with chairs, TV, fridge, microwave, desk with chair, and a shelf on the side to set bags and extras. This was a nice deal. Cable had good list of stations. Side note: Unable to get wifi. They were addressing the issue with the cable company. I went a few blocks to the library. They had free, super-fast wi-fi. We had takeout dinner across the street at Lone Buffalo Steak House. And, the next morning, breakfast muffin and hot chocolate at Perch Coffee house up the road. This was a terrific, easy stop on our road trip. Would definitely return.

My husky and I needed a one-night stop on the way to Minnesota. Eau Claire Best Western was a solid spot. Easy to find, quick check-in, lots of nearby food options. Easy parking, plenty of space. Wi-fi, tv, etc. All good. And the breakfast had some decent items. Would definitely return!

My husky and i were visiting Minneapolis/St. Paul, and a friend in Delano. It's the only hotel in the area, and it's a good one! We paid for the suite, and it was huge. Bedroom, living room with 2nd tv, and large bathroom. Cable tv, wi-fi, fridge, microwave, etc. Breakfast was good. The location is perfect, just off Rte 12. Thirty minutes from Minneapolis and 10 minutes or so to several towns, trails, and lakes in the area. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. (In fact, I added another night to my stay.) It's a fantastic choice for the area, or if you choose to stay outside of the city.

While traveling across country with my husky, we stopped for one night in Wichita Falls. Baymont looked good, and it was in a convenient location. As custom, I paid extra for the deluxe suite. It was well worth it!
We headed up to our room on the 3rd floor. TV and dresser on the left. Desk at the far end; king size bed. Couch and coffee table. Huge studio, with fridge and microwave. Then, as I set my bag down, I saw an open door. I peeked over and it was an entire bedroom!! Another king bed, lounge chair and tv. You could fit 4 people easy. Well worth the price. Side note: dinner at Asian Kitchen around the corner was good. Overall, this was a worthwhile stop. Friendly staff. Would definitely return.

La Quinta was reliable as usual. Checked in quickly. I usually pay extra for the suite. This one was nice. On the 2nd floor. Bed with a living room area, plus big table for computer and electronics. Very comfortable. Easy to get around to historic downtown and area with lots of dinner options. Solid 1 night stay for me and my husky.

Best Western Inn Suites is a tremendous bargain. I'm from the Phoenix area, so I know the location. Surprised that this place was significantly cheaper than other hotels. I paid extra for a suite. Room 163. Easy check-in. Lots of parking. Great location -- 51 can take you in any direction: downtown, Scottsdale, or north. The suite had a full entry living room with counter, fridge, microwave, couch, desk, tv. Then, through the doorway is a separate bedroom area with another tv and a bathroom. Lots of room to relax and take it easy. Overall, a comfortable 2-night stay for me and my husky. Decent breakfast but with the money savings, lots of restaurant choices within 10 minutes.

While driving across across country with my husky, we stopped here for one night. La Quinta was reliable as always. (We paid extra for a suite, and the room was quite comfortable.) The staff was very friendly and helpful. And, the location is terrific. The Chris Kyle Memorial is walking distance from the hotel, a pleasant morning walk. And, take-out from Rosa's Cafe was convenient. This La Quinta is a solid choice for a quick stop.

During a 2-week road trip with my husky, we passed through Las Cruces on a Wednesday night. (I paid extra for the suite.) The room/suite was huge. The entry area was a legit living room with couch, tv, desk, and open area. Then, there was a hallway with full kitchen (sink, fridge, microwave, counter) on the right, bathroom entry on the left. Then, the king size bed with a large screen tv at the end. This was a nice apartment! They offered a complimentary dinner. The Wednesday offerings were pretty good. I had chili with potato. Also, there were hot dogs, nachos, fettuccine, some salad, plus soda and popcorn. Breakfast looked good; eggs and variety of salsas, plus, a bit of fruit and other options. In the end, it was one of our more pricey overnight stays. But, then again, it was worth it. Would definitely return.

La Quinta in Clinton, OK is a solid choice. It's a little off to the side of I-40, but easy to find with the signs. Traveling with a big husky, I paid the extra price for a deluxe suite. Very spacious and comfortable! Living room area, 2 tvs, king bed, etc. The front desk lady was very personable and helpful. Down the road, we had take-out from Canelo's Mexican restaurant. Very good. overall, this stay was easy, restful, and worthwhile. Would definitely return.

Stayed 2 days in Sierra Vista with my husky. Sierra Suites is a terrific choice. Great location on the northern part of town. I stayed in the larger suite (paid extra), and it was very nice. Lots of room, giant tv, fridge, etc. Breakfast was good (fresh fruit, waffles, and a variety of egg options). One morning they had vanilla pancakes; another had mango crisp... nice. Terrific location. There is a spacious dog park 1.3 miles down the road. The 143 Tacos a block away is a good option and has outdoor seating. It was nice to walk to these places. Staff at Sierra Suites is very helpful and nice. Wi-fi worked well, except the morning I left. Not sure why. Overall, very pleased with this choice. Would definitely return!

Terrific stop on a road trip along Route 66 (and, I-44). The suite my husky and I stayed in was clean and spacious --- complete kitchen, living room space, and bed area. Quite comfortable. Tons of dining options. (In fact, it may be a bit overwhelming). We ended up at Fuzzy's Taco Shop, which was quite good. Overall, a smooth and worthy stop! Would definitely rebook if in the area again.

During a road trip across Route 66, we spent one night at the Roadrunner Lodge. It was outstanding! Very unique and nostalgic -- including 50's decor and furniture, old school lock and key, and a radio playing music oldies and commercials. It's a unique walk back into time. Also, it is extremely dog friendly! On the bed, there was a welcome note and treats for my dog, Norway, from their canine director of hospitality. Out front there is a play area for the pups, as well. The room was quite comfortable, and the wi-fi worked great. Also, a quick mention: we had dinner take-out down the street at Del's. They offer a large menu, including a dog menu. I ordered the burger and rice, and my husky loved it. Overall, if you're looking for a cool change of pace, nice, dog-friendly folks, give the Roadrunner Lodge a try.

Vermillion was a good spot between Sioux Falls and Sioux City. The Red Roof was a good pet friendly price, clean, and nice location. Easy to find, and near the downtown (with restaurants). Would definitely return.

Needed a spot in middle of Iowa for me and my husky. Picked out this hotel in Hampton. Solid choice. Easy to find off main street. Warm lobby and friendly staff. (There was a terrible mix-up by Expedia/BringFido with my reservation; fortunately, the receptionists took care of it.) Room was good -- air con, clean, spacious. There is an area where the smokers go; but, overall, lots of space to walk with the dog. Side note: Take-out from B&C Chinese restaurant was delicious. Hotel price was right. Would definitely return when passing through Iowa..

The Kelly Inn was a terrific pick. Very reasonable price, easy to find. Friendly reception. The hotel has a wooden, lodge look -- adorned with carved bears. The suite is sweet. Big bed, tv, microwave, sofa, coffee table... Nice location. Across the street is a pond/open park -- great spot to walk with my husky. Nearby is El Columpio, a solid dinner choice. And, of course, easy driving access to the Corn Palace.. (Would definitely return!)

Solid hotel choice. Clean, spacious room. Lots of area to walk around. Friendly staff. The restaurant next door (Prairie Grille) was a convenient, good choice for dinner. And, the hotel breakfast was very good -- including fresh fruit (in containers) and OJ in container. So, easy. Would definitely return if we pass through Davenport. Thanks!

Picked this place while driving through Des Moines, Iowa. Reception was easy and friendly. Great room with sofa area, and usual amenities. Good air conditioning and floors (instead of carpets, a good thing). Mostly, it's a terrific location. I needed a quick stop at Petsmart (around the corner), and there are many meal choices. (We went to Tasty Tacos...). Would definitely return.

Unable to find any other hotels, my husky and I stayed at the Super 8. It's next to the Fairfield Inn, quite a contrast. The Super 8 had chipped paint, a bit run down, parts smelled of smoke. However, here are the upsides: receptionist was nice; location is terrific (straight shot to places to eat and a park); and, the other guests were nice. (Mostly, crop and road workers who were staying there. They were friendly and drove nice trucks. So, good clientele!). The carpet was stained, but doesn't bother me. No chance my dog could do harm. HBO/Cinemax cable tv. And, the smoke odor went away in the room. In the end, it was a one-night stay (for 1/2 the price of its next door neighbor). It worked...

After a visit to Starved Rock, my dog and I had dinner at The Lone Buffalo. A perfect pick for these reasons: 1) location is great, down the street from the Lincoln/Douglass fountain and across from movie house. Plenty of parking 2) Spacious outdoor seating along the sidewalk 3) food (for me) was tasty -- veggie burger and fries.. 4) food (for my dog) was a winner -- I ordered pork sliders and mixed the meat with his dog food. He loved it.. 5) Mostly, this place is super dog friendly -- they brought a bowl of water and homemade dog biscuits. Plus, the staff, hostess, and manager all genuinely like dogs! Definitely worth a visit!

I reserved a suite for me and my 4 year old husky. Every part of the stay was terrific. 1) Easy to find off the I80 2) the check-in went smoothly (and the lady at the front desk was very friendly). 3) room was comfortable w/good A/C, variety of cable channels, solid wi-fi, and roomy. 4) complimentary breakfast was terrific, plus chocolate chip cookies in the evening. 5) Location is convenient (we spent some time at Starved Rock, as well as downtown Ottawa -- dinner at The Lone Buffalo). And, finally, it's super dog friendly! (Next time we do another visit to Starved Rock, we'll stay overnight at the Hampton again!)
