Can pets stay in hotels?
Most hotels do not allow pets, especially large, formal ones with clear rules against it, so call ahead to confirm.

Only a few hotels accept pets, some offering a separate small room.

Why does a dog bark at night?
A strong guarding instinct (light, smell, sound), insecurity (new dog—reassure and use a quiet room), hunger, needing to potty, or excess energy (meet needs before sleep), or discomfort/illness (abnormal expression, low appetite—see a vet).
