Days Inns also allow pets. I used them when we traveled across the U.S. one year with cat, birds and children in tow. Holiday Inn Express also allows pets. We stay in Holiday Inn Express locations more often than any other hotel chains because my husband has subscribed to their points program and we take advantage of free nights. We have seen dogs, cats, and parrots as well as our ferret there and the desk people don't give them a second glance. Veda [Posted in FML issue 4688]
