I'm driving back home to TV in January with my 8 ib yorkiepoo from NY. I have the first leg of the trip set up - NY to Richmond VA - and I have a good hotel booked but after that I'm lost. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions were to stay for the next leg of the journey. I'm thinking of driving about 6 to 7 hours then stop so I guess I'd be in SC in the southern part. After that I'm home free to TV! I'm traveling alone (woman) so safety is a factor for me. This is my first time doing this...wish me luck! I would have taken the autotrain but they won't take the dog...

The Hampton Inn on Hwy 21 , Port Wentworth, Ga. near Savannah, is nice and right off of I95, and, they do not charge a pet fee.

Go to the Holiday inn group website (IHG) and click on "find hotels on a route" and check the pet friendly box and it will give you all the hotels on your route that accept pets. Most Hiltons accept pets also. I'll try to add the website but Im not sure it will let me.

We have also overnighted at Red Roof Inns. They also offer a "free pet" policy; but we find them less dependable as far as quality of rooms. As a single woman, you may feel safer in a La Quinta as most offer interior rooms. If you google La Quinta, you will find listings for South Carolina. P.S. Some Marriott and Hilton Hotels advertise they are "pet friendly" but charge a hefty pet fee.

We travelled in Dec 12 from eastern Long Island to TV with our 4 yr old beagle. We stopped in Fredericksburg and then next day drove to Port Wentworth,(Savannah area) Georgia. Hampton Inn as mentioned above was great, and no pet fee.
We left at about seven am and sailed on 195 even though it was a weekday. 95 to Ormond Beach, then 40 West to 19 South and to Marion County Road 42 into TV on Belle Meade up by Mulberry and bear right onto Buena Vista and straight on to Village of Hemingway. Best wishes for a safe trip with your little one ![]() |

We always travel with our pet. All La Quintas take pets at no extra charge. The newer inns are VERY nice"...some of the older ones, not so much. we have rarely been disappointed in la Quinta.

Driving to TV with dog
I wouldn't let the dog drive. It doesn't sound safe. And how's he going to pay tolls. Have you thought this out? Last edited by tomwed; 12-17-2014 at 08:19 PM. |

When traveling with dogs, it's very hard to find a nice hotel that offers "two pets free". One hotel (I think a Hyatt or a Marriott) said they were pet friendly. They quoted an amount of $120 for a room plus an additional $80 per pet. ![]() So be sure to ask before you book.

The other place that takes pets (once you get farther south) is Drury Inns. They have a free happy hour with enough food choices to make a meal out of (salads, baked potatoes, one main dish, free wine & cocktails) so that you don't have to leave the hotel to get dinner, which I think would be helpful for a woman traveling alone. No charge for pets.

Many Hilton chain hotels accept dogs. Not do for Marriots though.
