We did a quick RT drive to NJ recently and stayed at Marriotts (they are def cheap these days) and they really are no problem. No more of a chance of catching anything (other than what you could catch even before the pandemic )

Of course if one stays at The Sleazy Inn for $19 that's another story.
I hear what you are saying, the only problem with that is that is if you travel with your dog your hotel options are much more limited and not as likely to be as safe. We would gladly pay the premium to stay at a Marriott, if only they would let our little friend stay with us : ( But take a look at post #55, our dog is more than welcome to stay in that beautiful room.
