It’s vacation time, and the whole family is packed and ready to enjoy some days off — including your four-legged (or feathered or scaly) family member.

Some hotels, including those within the Marriott brand, throw you a bone by letting you bring your pets on trips. Let’s take a look at the Marriott pet policy and how it compares to other hotel chains.

Marriott’s pet policy

Marriott has a pets welcome policy stating, “We recognize that your pets are a valued part of your family, which is why we offer our guests a selection of hotels that invite you to bring your domesticated pets along for your stay within our global portfolio of brands.”

There are more than 1,500 pet-friendly Marriott hotels in the U.S. that allow stays for dogs, cats, birds and fish.
