Pet-friendly hotels in Baytown

Which of the eighteen take the dog, what it costs, and what "pet-friendly" actually means at each one — from the brand pages, not the reviews.

The list, as posted. - Red Roof Inn — one pet free; the brand's standing policy and the reason it's first on this list. - Motel 6 (both locations) — pets stay free under the brand's policy; the two are separate pins on the map, one on the freeway, one on 146. - La Quinta — the brand that built its name on pets; fee varies by property, and the page has this one's. - Candlewood Suites, 6126 Garth — extended-stay, pets with a fee; the kitchen makes it the long-turnaround choice with a dog. - WoodSpring Suites, 4624 East Freeway — extended-stay, pets with a fee; check the weight limit on the page. - Home2 Suites and TownePlace Suites — pets with a fee, per the brands; both extended-stay, both on the Garth side. - Captain Suites, on 146 — no pets; independent, and it says so. - The rest — Hampton, Holiday Inn Express, Comfort Suites, SpringHill, Staybridge, ESA, Days Inn (both), Super 8 (both), the Hyatt, Best Western Plus: the page for each carries the posted policy, the fee, and the weight limit where the brand states it, pulled from the brand's site with the date. A dash means the brand didn't post it and we didn't guess; call.

What "pet-friendly" means here. A fee per night or per stay, a weight limit (usually 50 or 75 pounds), two pets maximum, no pets left alone in the room at some brands, and a walk area that's the parking lot's edge. Bring the crate. Ask about the fee at check-in; the brand page is the policy, the front desk is the price. Service animals are a different rule — every hotel takes them, no fee, by law.

Where to walk the dog from the hotel row. Nothing within walking distance of Garth is a park; drive to Jenkins, Evergreen, or Bayland. Not the Nature Center — no pets. The dog guide has the rest, including the vet ER on the Houston side.

In a hurricane. The pet-friendly list doubles as the evacuation list: if you're leaving with animals, these are the hotels along the route that take them, and the hurricane page says how to plan for it. Book early; the pet rooms go first, and the state's shelters take pets only in designated ones.

For the crews. Six weeks with a dog means an extended-stay with a fee or an RV pad; the RV parks all take pets, the work page has them, and Highland Oaks and Cedar Grove have the room to walk one.

Questions people ask. Which hotel is free for pets? Red Roof (one) and Motel 6, by brand policy. Is there a weight limit? Usually; the page for each hotel has it where posted. Do any take cats? Most that take dogs; ask.

En español. Hoteles que aceptan mascotas en Baytown: Red Roof (una mascota gratis), Motel 6 (gratis, política de la marca, dos ubicaciones), La Quinta (con cuota), Candlewood, WoodSpring, Home2, TownePlace (con cuota, estancia extendida). Captain Suites no acepta mascotas. La página de cada hotel tiene la política, la cuota y el límite de peso según la marca, con fecha; un guion significa que la marca no lo publica — llame. Los animales de servicio entran a todos, sin cuota, por ley. Para pasear al perro, maneje a Jenkins, Evergreen o Bayland — no al Centro de Naturaleza. Los parques de RV aceptan mascotas.
