Hotels are allowed to charge for a PET which is basically any animal except a real service animal such as a seeing eye dog. ESA's don't qualify as such and are in fact considered as a PET. And while there are certifications/letters from certified doctors, all these vests and cards that swirls around the internet are nothing but toys aka FAKES.
Always astounds me when people play down the matter of their dogs being "small, well behaved and potty trained". They remain domesticated animals who can get scared or excited especially when traveling or with strangers around. I had a pet as a child, I love dogs as well as cats and pretty much most animals but there is a line. An ex-gf of mine suddenly allowed her dog onto the bed, hence why ex.

I would pay not to have to keep him in a small kennel under the seat. He is better behaved than most children I've seen in flight. His last flight he slept the whole way on one of our laps and didn't make a single sound, nor even sniff the person in the aisle (we were window & middle).
