I for one, am in favor of not allowing pets in the hotel rooms. I think it makes sense. We've all seen the Dateline exposes on how clean hotel rooms are (being sarcastic). This is just something else for us to worry about. I for one don't really want to stay in a hotel room in which the previous guest allowed Fido to wet the carpet. Also, this will help the hotel keep pet dander out for those guests with pet allergies. I spend over 100 nights a year in a hotel and I don't want to be woken up by someone elses' dog in the next room barking in the middle of the night.
Way to go Hyatt!!!
