Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

There are hotels that allow dogs in the rooms? I don't see how that could work in the long run without requiring deposits that most people wouldn't want to pay.
There is always pet fee for about $100 and I thought it’s for the extra cleaning. If the customer declined daily house keeping and kept the dog for a week in the room then they should be charged accordingly and not make the housekeepers clean it in the same amount of time as the other rooms.
People wanting or needing to travel with their dog just pay the extra fees and deposits.
Rooms without carpeting, and non-refundable pet fees. Vinyl flooring makes cleaning up after pets trivial. The only issue you have is soiling of upholstery and potential chewing. But if everyone pays a $100 per dog fee, only a subset of those dog owners will cause any issues so the good dogs subsidize the cost for the bad dogs.
The fee and deposits sound steep, until you compare them with the astronomical costs of dog boarding.
Huh, I’ve never seen a carpeted pet friendly room, for obvious reasons.
Usually a pet fee of $25 to $50.
The replies make sense, and I should have realized. I guess I was thinking any deposit large enough to cover all the possibilities would be more than anyone would agree to, but I can see how it's to both owner and guest's advantage to make it work.
