So....my 14 yo cousin who is standing up in our wedding (she is from detroit) texts me today and asks if there are any dog friendly hotels/motels near us (the wedding and reception is at the War Memorial).

I looked online but most places have apet limit of 75 pounds. They have an Akita~ I am guessing he is between 100-125 pounds. Ummm  yeah...suggestions please!

We have two dogs (reb bone coonhounds that are 46 and 56 pounds). They go to doggy day care and are used to being in a cage when we aren;'t home. My cousin's dog, from what I know has never been kenneled and spends a lot of time outside. Help!

    Most hotels won't allow dogs that big, especially since hotel rooms aren't that large in the first place.

    Could she instead look for a boarding kennel in the area that allows the dogs to spend lots of time outside?  I'm out in Waukesha County, and I know we have at least 6 doggy day cares where the dogs spend most of the time outside.

    I don't know of any specifically, but her best bet is to call around to the hotels herself.  I'd avoid wasting time calling places like the Intercontinental, Pfister and Hilton, as they are considered more high-end and probably wouldn't allow dogs.  Maybe try Double Tree, Comfort Inn, Days Inn...?  Other than that, I got nothin' - LOL.  Good luck.

    The Iron Horse Hotel in downtown Milwaukee is pet friendly.  They even have special dog packages.  http://www.theironhorsehotel.com/accommodations/pet-friendly.html

    I work at The Iron Horse Hotel, and yes, we are dog-friendly.  And VERY big dog friendly.  The dogs are treated like royalty.  :)  There is a $50 pet cleaning fee.
