(It’s at the hotel’s discretion based on market rules.)

Either way, it’s the contract I signed with the devil when I got a corgi.

6.Another con of the items is receiving only one dog bowl.

For breakfast, we just used one of his bowls we brought from home.

While one dog breed or weight might be accepted, it won’t work for another hotel.

A couple of reasons why a lot of people select a hotel over another are the price and familiarity.

I’ll stick with a hotel brand if I know what I’m getting.
