Road-tripping across Michigan with your pup? Here are dog-friendly hotels and budget motels in Ann Arbor, Flint, the Lansing area, Grand Rapids and Grand Haven, with each one’s pet fee and size limits. Every stay is pinned on our Dog Fun Map.
Before you book: Hotel pet fees, weight limits and pet-room counts change often, and many hotels have only a few pet-friendly rooms. Always tell the hotel you are bringing a dog when you book, and confirm the current fee and rules directly with them. Most hotels ask that dogs stay leashed in public areas and are not left alone in the room.
