Where to stay in Downtown Houston for an overnight trip with your dog

Traveling with your pet is no longer an impossible task. With Heights House Hotel in Houston, pet parents have the privilege of sharing their holidays and trips with their furbabies. As a boutique hotel in Houston, among other unique experiences, we have our very own pet-friendly policy which allows you to stay overnight for a quick visit or spend considerable time chilling and relaxing with your furry friends. Here is how we can offer a truly unique and fun experience for you and your pet.

Workout The Right Balance

Regardless of how pet-friendly a hotel might be, there will always be certain rules and regulations concerning your pets. It must also be kept in mind that housing a pet is more than just providing it space. Just like regular guests, the hotel staff has to ensure that the pet is comfortable in the hotel. Certain hotels go the extra mile to provide customized services for pets. However, the primary idea is to ensure that the pet gets to spend ample time with their pet parents and also feels comfortable in the new environment. A fee is generally charged for the housing of pets in a hotel. At Heights House Hotel in Houston, a nominal fee of only $50 is charged.. To ensure optimal comfort and safety, only one pet is allowed per room. However, in the case of service animals for the differently-abled and emotional support animals, this fee is exempted.

Leash Rules and Leash Zones

Every hotel reserves the right to deny any pet. Certain hotels only allow select pets, like dogs. The primary reason for this is to avoid conflict as much as possible, as we all know how cats and dogs get along. Also, depending on the preference of the hotel, it might reserve the right of admission to only dogs due to infrastructural reasons. Based on this, let’s take a look at leash policies at hotels. Pet parents are always concerned about the well-being of their fur babies, so it is our advice to always find out about leash rules when choosing a pet-friendly hotel. You will be a bit shocked to find out that due to leash regulations, certain hotels might not be as pet-friendly as they appear to be. 

At Heights House Hotel, we are welcoming to both dogs and cats. One of our simple rules is that pets must be kept on a leash or in a carrier at all times outside the guest room and within the premises of the hotel. This is generally a very standard rule in any hotel, as having pets off leashes can lead to conflicts with other guests or pets and can also lead to property damage. Your furry friend can be off their leashes and out of their carriers inside the room, however, it must be notified that the pet owner is obligated to compensate for all damages caused by their pet. Having these clear rules are very important when choosing a pet-friendly in Houston or anywhere else. Always make sure that the hotel is very clear about the rules and they have their rules in writing. 

Certain hotels do not allow pets on beds and furniture and need the pets to be leashed in the rooms to reduce the risk of damages to their rooms. Certain hotels also provide play areas and leash-free areas where your furry friends can get a taste of being on vacation.

Behavior and Hygiene Issues

Your pet’s temperament and behavior are very important factors. All hotels reserve the right to deny admission or cancel reservations in case any pet is found to be too aggressive or noisy. We understand that the change of the environment can be stressful for your fur babies. Also, long-distance journeys can have an adverse effect on your pet’s behavior. Any hotel would not want to disrupt the comfort and peace of other guests. It is always recommended to consult vets and trainers before embarking on any elaborate journey with your pet. As pet parents, it is your responsibility to figure out whether your fur baby is ready for travel or not. The same rule applies to your pet’s basic hygiene. A hotel might deny you service if your pet is too dirty, has fleas, or has other conditions. It is also important to ensure that your pet’s vaccinations are up to date.

 Being More Responsible and Informed

Ample research and knowledge about your pet are necessary before going on any journey. Hotels will provide accommodation for your pet and even go the length of ensuring that your pet is comfortable. However, it is important for you to take care of your pet. As a rule in Heights House Hotel, we refuse housekeeping services to any guest who leaves their pet unattended, not confined to a carrier. The primary reason is to avoid accidents and also not to make your pets feel intimidated. It is recommended that you keep your pets with you at all times to ensure their safety. Dietary and Health requirements are to be fulfilled by the pet owner itself.

Things To Keep In Mind

With regard to both pet owners and hotel administration, here are a few things to remember to ensure a comfortable stay at any pet hotel.

• Always check online reviews about the hotel and be clear with the rules and regulations before checking in. Ensure the fact that they have written rules. (Preferably on their website)
• Ensure that your pet is groomed, vaccinated, and in a condition to travel before embarking on any journey. 
• Find out whether the hotel makes provisions for pet diets and also provide bathtubs for you to give them baths. 
• Be clear about any obligatory and additional charges. 
• Find out important information regarding local vets and other important aspects pertaining to pet care that your fur baby might need.
