Planning a stay with your dog? Here’s how Red Roof Inn, Red Roof PLUS+, HomeTowne Studios, and The Red Collection handle pet fees, limits, and exceptions.
Red Roof Inn Pet Policy Overview
Red Roof’s core pet policy is especially friendly at Red Roof Inn and Red Roof PLUS+, but rules can change at HomeTowne Studios and The Red Collection. Always verify the specific property page before booking.
For standard Red Roof Inn and Red Roof PLUS+ stays, the brand’s official pet policy is straightforward: two well-behaved domestic pets, up to 80 pounds each, are allowed per guestroom, with the first pet staying free. HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof and The Red Collection do not follow one universal pet rule, so travelers should check the exact hotel page before booking.

Tips for Staying at Red Roof Inn with Your Dog
Start by checking the exact hotel page before you book, especially if you are looking at HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof or The Red Collection, where pet rules can differ a lot from one property to another. If you are booking a standard Red Roof Inn or Red Roof PLUS+ stay, expect the first pet to stay free and confirm whether you are bringing a second pet so the hotel can apply the correct fee. At check-in, declare your dog right away, since Red Roof’s policy requires it. During your stay, keep your dog leashed or in a carrier outside the room, and do not bring pets into restaurant, pool, fitness, or laundry areas. If you need to leave your dog in the room during an emergency, notify the front desk and leave contact information. Also plan housekeeping around your dog, because staff cannot clean the room while pets are present. Finally, if you are choosing a Red Collection hotel, read the property notes carefully—some allow pets only in designated room types, some charge a flat stay fee, and some do not accept pets at all.
