Why it is listed

Red Roof is the chain that still prints a national first-pet-free policy for Inn and PLUS+: 80 lb, two cats or dogs, $15 for the second pet. Two hotels are named as no-pets. HomeTowne and The Red Collection are not that policy. Open View Property. Do not leave the dog in the room and go to dinner without calling the desk.

Cons

HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof and The Red Collection are explicitly carved out — policies vary; check that listing. Not every legal jurisdiction can accept pets.
Pets cannot be left unattended in the guestroom (except the emergency + front-desk path). 80 lb per pet is a hard published cap.
A franchise is not this ranking. Confirm View Property. This is not boarding.
