Yes, the costs for a short one or two night stay are high.... however, on the other side, we stayed at a Residence Inn for 8 months with our two cats... and the charge was a total of $100.... and that included feeding the cats and changing the litter if we were out of town.... the best $100 we ever spent.

And, I know for a fact, that they came in and did a deep cleaning afterwards.

If the $100 fee is too high, I guess you have to decide whether having the animal for one night is worth it... I am guessing a kennel would be cheaper....
