Downtown Portland
In Portland, Hotel Vintage Plaza (422 S.W. Broadway, 503.228.1212) and Hotel Monaco (506 S.W. Washington St., 503.222.0001) will have Fido doing flips because, while other downtown hotels charge $10 to $75 per four-legged guest, these two charge no fee. In fact, they roll out the red carpet. The Hotel Vintage Plaza even has a Doggie Honor Bar with gourmet treats, while Hotel Monaco will call in a pet psychic to explore the space between your companion’s floppy ears.
