Acapulco, Guerrero |
Hotel Marcial: A reader reported: "We drove down Blvd. Jose Lopez Portillo, Col. Zapata, which is the main street coming from D.F. through the north end of town, just before the tunnel. This is a more typically Mexican, non-resort area. We found the Hotel Marcial on the west side of the street. It was very basic but clean and secure. It catered to large families and truckers."
Park Hotel: The same reader as above wrote: “For the rest of our stay, we were at the Park Hotel. It is a
'family hotel' whose literature states it is conveniently located like an oasis in a tropical garden across from the beach in the most exclusive tourist area of the Acapulco bay.” There are three resident cats that run the place. It has a nice pool and surrounding gardens. Don’t let your dogs run loose. This contributor recommends checking the mattresses before choosing a room as some need replacing or flipping over.

Hotel Mystery Name: We also spent a night at a brand new motel on the right side highway heading into Ocampo (coming from Angangueo heading towards the Rosario entrance to the sanctuary). Unfortunately, I forgot to take down the name. It was about $35 and a little sterile, but otherwise not bad. |
Ajijic, Jalisco-see Lake Chapala area |

Alamos, Sonora |
Casa Tesoro Hotel: About one block behind the main church, on a corner. There’s a sign in front. Nice grounds, pool, although I think Hotel Acosta is a better deal. Has large, good restaurant that allows dogs! About $80, plus $4.50 pet fee.
A 2008 report called this lodging expensive and rundown.
Cafe Sol: The reader who found the
previous place rundown, stated that: "A much better deal and nicer place
than that is across the street in the Cafe Sol. It is new and has nice
rooms, a great roof top sitting area, a wonderful cafe all in an old
colonial building."
Puerta Roja Inn:
I discovered this B&B's web page accidentally; the place looks delightful, and the web page states in bold print, "your pets are welcome." Web

Ciudad Obregon, Sonora |
San Jorge: A traveler e-mailed me that this lodging is at Miguel Aleman 929 Norte, on the north end of town and is a "good" place to stay.
Villa Creca: A reader
reported that Coacalco is a city north of Mexico City that would be considered a suburb. We were coming from Jalapa going to Morelia and wanted to avoid going through D F. We have had great success with the Motor Hotels, i.e., the ‘no tell motels’ as far as being pet friendly and found one in Coacalco that was out of this world. It is called Villa Creca and is on the main thoroughfare going to Tultepec, on the right-hand side. At first they said 250PS and then saw the dogs and said "no". I told my wife to offer 400 the their response was ‘no problem.’ (Next time, the dogs will stay in the back until the garage door is down). The place was luxurious, with a walk-in glass shower, a bed you could land an airplane on, and it was appointed with all the usual hotel gifts like a shoe shine kit, tooth brush, etc. It had room service that delivered two huge cheese/ham/bacon burgers and drinks for 200 pesos. |

Creel, Chihuahua |
Paradores: Pleasant enough place on Creel's main street. About $55..
Hotel Villas Mexicana: I couldn't get a straight answer
about Hotel Villa Mexicana's pet policies. However, these somewhat upscale cabanas
are part of a large RV park, and campers have dogs on site. Also
there are a few street dogs wandering the property. It might be a
good candidate for a don't ask, don't tell approach. 2008 price: $65
-$105. Web site:

very small and modest "hotels" in Creel and I suspect several of them
would accept pets. Just roam around Creel and you'll see them.

Cuernavaca, Morelos |
House Rental: We spent a wonderful month in Cuernavaca renting a beautiful new home owned by Ulises and Verena Espinosa, at callme2day@excite.com. $500/week. The house was on a friendly, dead-end street off Calle San Jeronimo (north side of Cuernavaca) where everyone had one to three mostly small, yappy dogs. Because of the university nearby, there were a lot of signs posted in the neighborhood renting rooms or casas. Alas, I was so busy that I never did scout out short-term accommodations in the Cuernavaca area that might take dogs. I asked at a couple of the larger hotels, and was told "no."
More home rentals: Two homes available for short term rentals are listed on

Holiday Inn: The Holiday

Guadalajara, Jalisco |
Crowne Plaza & Holiday Inn: Kennels on both sites; no dogs in the rooms
Zar Hotel (on Hwy 15 coming in from Tepic). From a contributor: The Zar hotel accepts at least small dogs and there is a beautiful grassy run out back. Be careful, however, because there is a hole in the fence. "Our little terrier went through the fence in the far corner and didn't come back for many minutes, and then appeared soaking wet even her head. We had no idea where she went, but relieved that she did manage to get out of the water." The rooms are reported to be very clean and the price includes breakfast. The only problem was that there were no screens on the windows which made it a little uncomfortable during the mosquito season." Rates (2007) about $50 Location: On Highway 15 coming into Guadalajara from Tepic. |

Guanajuato, Guanajuato |
El Laurel: Motel-style buildings on edge of the city just at the start of the Libre towards Leon, (and not far past Marfil) on the left side of the road as you head out of town. Basic accommodations; the rooms near the office are newer and nicer, the other ones are borderline dumpadoras. The beds were the most uncomfortable I have ever slept in. But, we’ve stayed there twice, not knowing where else to go. About $35; friendly owner.
Gtomex.com: This is
website for rental units in Guanajuato owned/managed by an ex-pat.
A contributor wrote that
about their rental "in the Presa neighborhood on a busline (quiet with
parking!) with two parks nearby - perfect for walking Redd - and within
walking distance of the central plaza. The apartment is basic but clean,
roomy and comfortable with a terrace and access to a washer and dryer
(great for being on the road). It also had a DVD player and wireless
internet access - we felt like we were in the lap of luxury! Bill Byrnes
was our host - very nice and a long term resident so he can give you
info. He has three apartments at his home and I believe manages others.
I don't know about dogs at all his places, but he allows them at his."

hotel. We have stayed with our Lab in the bungalows." Another
reader wrote (in 2008): "For about $50 dollars we stayed in a clean, but
far from luxurious 2 bed room with a TV that had English speaking
channels and a coffee pot with coffee. The staff was very friendly,
incredibly helpful and accommodating. Since we are traveling with our
75 pound Standard Poodle, for that price. that was more than we
expected. Their are located at 712 Blvd Kino, just as you enter
Hermosillo from Nogales, AZ and their phone number is 011 52 662

Lagos de Morenos,, Jalisco |
Hotel Colonial Lagos de
Moreno: This lovely hotel is on the cathedral side of the main
park-street heading towards the river park. The hotel dates from the 1800s. It
has a wonderful restaurant and we’ve eaten there twice. We were
seated with los Perros in the central courtyard when all hell broke
loose. An older Mexican gentleman with a cocker spaniel came
through and all dogs were surprised, thus the barking commotion.
(Those old stone and masonry walls amplify the sound of barking
exponentially). Since the
gentleman and his dog were apparently guests, I asked the desk
attendant about dogs. She said she did not have the authority to
decide, but perhaps they would be allowed, albeit one might be given
an inferior room. So check ahead. Lagos de Moreno is a beautiful
place to visit. Address: Hidalgo # 279, Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco.
Telephone: 01 (474) 74 20 142. Rating: 3 Stars, About $40 and up.

In 2008, a reader reported going to the dog-friendly Koala
Bungalows, which looked okay. However, they were full because it was
a holiday so they were put in a casita on the grounds called Steve's
Place, that was grim and full of scorpions. So they ended up
sleeping in the car. |

the Plaza Inn in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico a couple of weeks ago. It
was over a weekend and it was fairly expensive for Mexico but the staff
was helpful and friendly and some spoke english well. We payed $
169.00 for the night plus $ 15.00 for my two Cavalier spaniels. They did
ask if they are small dogs and if they would be in a crate which I did
not have but after assuring them that they are well behaved they let us
stay. I had the feeling that they do not allow big dogs unless crated,
but I did not ask." Located at Calle Gabriel Leyva and Cardenas, reportedly expensive.

Las Palmas: This motel is officially "no dogs" or "no large dogs" but accepts them anyway. One guest wrote, "Because we knew that they accepted pets, we didn't say anything, just signed in. The cars are parked in back, well away from the road, then you move the car to outside of your room and take your pet(s) inside. We could have had a gorilla in the car for all they cared. We were late, so after a quick dog-walk we got into the dining room just in time for a delicious dinner. Saw plenty of other people walking their dogs both that night and the next morning." Someone else wrote: "Las Palmas has a no pets sign right at the check in counter. Our first trip we were told no when asking about pets. This last trip (on the advice of our Mexican dentist) we just checked in and low profiled the dogs." We stopped at Las Palmas in 2005 for a good lunch in the popular restaurant run by the motel.

Hotel "No Name:" A contributor wrote: If you are serious about "Motel 6" type of hotels, we have a great recommendation in Mazatlan. Because of our animals (after a lot of begging), we stayed there. It is cheap ($45 US) and clean. It is right across the street from the Taj Mahal/Mormon Temple type hotel - you can't miss it (name unknown) on the Malecon (seaside street) in the middle of town. If you want good cheap food, La Brochetta just down the street specializes in - Surprise - brochettes. The food was good and very cheap, though they did not have beer or any other alcoholic drinks.

Johnson and Hotel Ibis, are listed
as pet friendly by

which will double-check for you and do the booking. |
Howard Johnson Plaza Monterrey: Morelos 574 Oriente, Monterrey 64000 MX. $60-$75 (2005). They arrange to board your pet at a kennel and Vet's office across the street.
Ancira Radisson: A traveler wrote: "In Monterrey try the Ancira Radisson. It was a bit more expensive than we had planned but it was wonderful and we took our Bichon into the beautiful restaurant/bar as well."
Hotel Plaza Del Arcos: Av
Pino Suarez 935 Norte Centro, Monterrey, 64000 MX. Opened in 2003, the
hotel spans seven floors and offers 24-hour reception. $72 and up.
Holiday Inn Monterrey Norte: Av
Universidad 101 Co El Roble, Monterrey, NLE 66450 MX. Located in the
North Side of the city, in the heart of the undustrial and maquiladora
zone. $80 and up.
Hotel Ibis, Airport: We stayed there coming and going in 2005. On our way into central Mexico, the manager would not let the dogs in, so we decided to leave them in the van. As we were unpacking, he relented and let them stay in the room. On our way out of Mexico there was no problem staying in the room. They did charge a pet fee, which we negotiated down a bit. I think it came to about $10. Ibis is a Euro-style hotel, part of the Accor chain-economical but attractive, although the beds are very hard. $45 in 2005 (plus the pet fee). To find it, follow the signs to the International Airport - which is just off the northern beltway encircling Monterrey, east of the cuota to Laredo, Tx. Follow the signs to the airport terminals; it is on the right, just past but in the immediate vicinity of the other chains, like the Fairfield Inn. Blvd Interamerica 105 AL 109, Monterrey.

but both are expensive (about $180 & up). Villa San Jose is located at Patizimba 77 Col Vsta Bella

Inexpensive. |
Palenque |
El Chato and others in El Panchon: El Panchon is about 20 acres of reforested jungle located right at the entry gate to the Palenque National Park. Signs are on the left right before the gate. There are several different owners offering cabanas for rent there, and the price (at least for ours) was incredibly cheap - $16. There are several good restaurants and an excellent Internet site in this cluster, and the setting is beautiful. We stayed in El Chato. You can get a room by finding the owner or helper at the Recepción center under the Internet, or at nearby Don Muchos restaurant. I noticed as we drove towards the park there were several other places with detached cabins for rent, and dogs all over, so I’m guessing those places would accept your pet also. WARNING! Although we had no problems where we stayed and ate, one reader wrote that a pit bull that belongs to a man who owns the Mono Blanco restaurant and several cabanas in El Panchon, attacked and seriously injured her Shelties, that the dog's owner was rude, profane and in denial on the entire incident; the reader asked that we not recommend this area as being dog-friendly. |
|
Patzcuaro, Michoacan |
Hotel Villas Patzcuaro: Their web site states that pets aren’t allowed in the rooms, but after I pitched the merits of our two dogs to the owner, he seemed to have no problem with them, and other guests had pets with them also. Part of small, attractive RV park. “Rustic” rooms with cable TV, fireplaces, pool, nice garden. $45
in 2008 (one double bed); Located just inside town entrance from autopiste to Morelia and libre to Uruapan. (See map on web site). Address: Av. Lázaro Cárdenas 506, 61600 Pátzcuaro, Mich. Tel. 434-342 0767; Fax 434-342 2984. Web page:

La Casa Encantada: St. Francis Suite at Lthis splendid looking B&B is pet-friendly, $115 including gourmet breakfast. Web page: http://www.lacasaencantada.com E-mail:
victoria@ml.com.mx
Posada San Felipe: A few blocks closer into the city than Villa Patzcuaro on opposite side of the road, somewhat more upscale and rooms not as dark. In 2004, People we talked to said they negotiated a $60 price (versus the rack rate of $100), which included breakfast.
Villas Gardenias: Per a traveler: “Last April we stayed at Villa Gardenias with our Yorkie. It was brand new and very nice with friendly and attentive personnel. As I remember the posted rate was 900-1,000 pesos and we got it for about 500 pesos a night. However, we were the only guests there - they considered it "the hot season". The clerk had to make a phone call to check to see if it was okay to stay there with a dog. The hotel is located at Av. Lazaro Cardenas #67 which is the main road leading into Patzcuaro from Morelia. It's a couple of miles from downtown. The phone number if dialing within Mexico is 434-342-48-58."

Playa del Carmen area, Quintana Roo |
La Escencia Resort: Recommended by a reader as a “lovely dog-friendly resort.” May still be under construction, clothing optional beach, near Puerto Aventuras, plans to have a ‘Dog Kamp’ for the pooches, which will include doggie daycare. Manager: Fernanda. Web page:
http://www.circumvista.com/esencia.html

http://www.sindudavillas.com
Pension San Juan: From
a reader: We stayed in Posada San Juan in Playa del Carmen with our black lab. They were quite happy to have us. Web page: http://www.pensionsanjuan.com |
Puebla, Puebla (nearby
Cholula) |
Campestre Los Sauces: In 2006, we stayed
at Campestre Los Sauces on Highway 190 going into Cholula. It has
lovely grounds and after some hesitation permitted our perros. I'm not
certain that it has a "pets ok" policy however. If you come in on the
Perifico for Puebla and take the Cholula/Hwy 190 exit, you'll find it on the
right before the first light. If you get to the new mall, with its
huge "Blockbusters" and "Bodega" signs, you've gone too far. It's
about a long block east of that mall. Its web page is at: http://www.hotelcampestrelossaucescholula.com |
Puebla (north of), near San Martin Texmelucan |
Ex-Hacienda Chautla: Cabins (cabañas) and camping at Ex-Hacienda Chautla. I did not verify that dogs are allowed in the rustic looking cabins, but given that tents were pitched in the nearby campground and I saw several dogs, I would imagine that they are accepted. The grounds of this location are quite lovely, even in the winter dry season. They are located in a treed area that is the locale of the unusual and picturesque English style lodge on a small lake. The main house of the larger hacienda is nearby, and they are well worth the visit even if you don’t spend the night. The grounds are located 1.5 miles off the libre (Mex 190) about 2 - 2 1/2 miles northwest of San Martin Texmelucan. This attraction is not well signed, except for a large sign right at the road you turn on (with a picture of the castle-like structure), which is a dirt road. As you drive along the dirt road, it veers to the left and you pass a soccer field and a parking area. At this point you can see the lake and the picturesque castle/lodge on the lake. It appears there are gates here leading to a dirt track that goes to the campgrounds and cabins. If you proceed straight on the road to the left of the walls (the road at this point becomes much better), you will enter the hacienda's visitors' gate. |

Rincón de Guayabitos, Nayarit |
Bungalows El Rinconcito:
We’ve twice stayed at this pleasant little beachfront motel with kitchenettes-and I have forgotten to get a phone number or address each time. After Googling it, I believe it is located on Retorno Ceibas S/N and the telephone is: (327) 274-0229. To find it, drive through town and turn right on the last street before the pavement starts turning bad, which is Cocoteros. Go one block to the beach road, turn right, and it is immediately on the left. There’s a paved walkway to the beach on its immediate left, and a new sports bar across the street. There’s a small sign giving the name of the motel behind the gate. It is popular and often full in high season, perhaps due to its rate of $50 nightly (2006). The owner can send you to a place down the beach that is priced just slightly higher and accepts dogs. I can’t recall the name (we stayed there in 2003); the grounds were lovely but the room was a little too dark.
Hotel Peñamar: I emailed this hotel and they responded that pets were welcome. However we opted not to use them since their price ($70, 2006) was a little high, and they are on the main street of town, rather than on the beach. Tel: 327-274-1142 or 274-1143. Fax: 327- 274-0225. Address: Av. Sol Nuevo y Jacarandas, S/N. Rincón de Guayabitos, Nayarit. E-mail: eduardopena@hotelpenamar.com |
