Any of Marriotts allow pets?

I took our mini-schnautzer last year at cosmopolitan in vegas which is a marriott hotel. Pets not allowed at pool and casino.. There is also a weight limit....and a cleaning fee of $50 if i remember correctly. Our dog only goes to the bathroom outside so we do not have a problem..we just have to walk him...
More and more hotels In vegas allow pets now...
I wish we could take the dog to the timeshare...
 
Steve it appears that you are not permitted to have dogs in the pool area per pet policy @ FS club aviara or troon. I also see dogs up to 55lbs can come.

Here is the policy:

I am aware of the policy regarding dogs at the pool at Aviara and Scottsdale. I did not mean that we would not see Marty at the pool because my dogs would be at the pool with me. I meant that we would not see Marty at the pool because he won't be staying at the Four Seasons since they allow pets.

Dogs have no buisness being in timeshares !! yes, I said it again , tolorate it
( see, I did miss parts of TUG )

How about mice? I sure see alot of mice in my room in DVC hiding everywhere. :p

Me, I'd rather have the dog than mice. Don't want to hurt Pluto's feelings now Fletch. :D
 
I was looking at pet policy at Marriott resorts. Any input? At bringfido.com Monarch at Sea PIne came up they allow pets but on Marriott website no pets. Does anybody take their pets to Marriott resorts?
Addressing the OP's question.

On the Marriott website when you're searching for properties go to:
FILTER YOUR SEARCH => Amenities => Pet friendly

You can see the brands/properties will very by location including: Ritz, Residence Inn's, Courtyards, SpringHill, TownPlace
 
For the Pro's/Con's of allowing pets.

Pet owners should not take policies personally. You and your pets may be perfects guests, however, policies have to be written for those that are not so considerate, here's an example of guest negligence (didn't notify management, dog barking while the owner was away, guest refused to take responsibly for their negligence, guest threatens to a lawsuit, etc):

Pets are certainly welcome at our hotel. We do ask that guests notify us when pets are traveling with them, and this allows us to also note our records for our staff, and get contact information for the guest. As you had booked with an outside agency, we did not have your contact information, and unfortunately, we were not aware that you had a dog until it was barking very loudly while you were away. Several other guests on the floor complained, and the decision was made to remove your dog to the Front Desk area to ensure the comfort and safety of all of our guests at the hotel. I know you have spoken to our Guest Assistance team in regards to your experience and I apologize again for any inconvenience this caused to you.

if suddenly everybody had mice as pets, would we be allowing mice at resorts? The answer would have to be the same a dogs. have to be consistent, and address the "majority" (majority meaning mice being the preferred type of pet). gets complicated doesn't it?

And Thank You Tom, taking dogs to kennel is the solution I want to hear. That's what we always did, and it was not so cheap.
 
Some people think thier dogs are special , well behaved etc, and deserve to go on vacation which is very funny. I would say some dogs would probably be ok but 95% of the people who brought thier dogs, it would be a problem. The problem is all dog owners thing they are in the 5% and they are not.

Oh No!!! Please don't kill Mickey! :eek:
I'm sure they'll take him at the Best Friends pets resort.

Rates for "pocket pets":
This includes animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and ferrets. Fees range from $12 to $23 per day ($10 to $21 for resort guests) depending on the size and type of pet. You have to provide your own enclosure. Exotics, venomous pets, and primates are not accepted for boarding.

Good lead-in to my true storey ... when we were checking out Aviara for our 1st week's purchase we asked on the 'weight limit' ... and having told them we have a female Golden Retriever ...the staff said ...'oh Mr. Henderson - we would NEVER ask a girl her weight' ... that was referring to a somewhat overweight girl #2 .... she never got to go but our girl #3 (both 'hand me down's' that are so friendly) has had the Four Seasons Treatment... in fact walking your dog is a good icebreaker to meet other guests & owners. We now have 7 weeks from late Jan to mid March .... stop us and say hi if you see us walking.

Attaboy Steve for your positive comments ....

ya I didnt think theyd break out the scale often, just a rule to have in the books in case someone comes in with a english mastiff.
 
Las Vegas Grand Chateau allows dogs (or doesn't care)

I am currently at the Marriott Grand Chateau this week and I have crossed two different dog owners and their dogs in the elevator. Both dogs were on leash - the largest a poodle.

Then again, even if it's against the rules, this doesn't surprise me at this property - it's getting to be quite a dump!! The carpets are stained and filthy (black feet as soon as we take off our shoes). Our unit has missing dishes, a flooding dishwasher and a clothes dryer that doesn't stop automatically. The kitchen wasn't exactly clean, nor the dining table wiped, and the apartment reeked of cigarette smoke when we checked in late last Sunday. The only good things about the property are the location and the valet parking staff.

I'm glad that this was an exchange. The TS owners I met in the tiny rooftop pool were not very happy with the current state of the property...

They give the owners the nice, clean, perfect units. Exchangers are given what the owners don't want.

Seriously though, all kidding aside, I would call the Front Desk and ask to speak with the on site Property Manager and invite him/her to come up to your Villa to see exactly how bad your Villa was left for you.

If situations like these are pointed out then things won't get better! Clearly someone, somewhere, dropped the ball.

Hope you have better luck with the slot machines!
