Whenever possible, we chose a place that provided room service, or at least had menus to places you could call out for delivery to your room. Or one of us hopped across the parking lot and got takeout from various restaurants close by. Check it out on the motels' web sites, or call them. Both animals did great, although the Cockatiel had LOTS to say until we figured out he didn't like seeing out the window and put a cover over him.
We fly our dog twice a year, but we will only fly him Lufthansa, only nonstop, and never on a US airline. He's 11. The next dog will be an under-the-seat-in-front-of-you size.
Good luck on your trip. I think keeping your pup with you will be easy.

I'm in agreement with you regarding what you do with and for your dog.
I think our pets deserve better than what we do for ourselves.
