Holiday Inn Express is an upper-midscale hotel chain with over 2,826 locations worldwide, and 469 pet-friendly locations in the United States. This chain offers limited services at a low price, making it popular with people looking for short-term lodging. Most locations have a business center fully equipped with computers, printers, and fax machines. Whether it be for business or pleasure, Holiday Inn Express is a practical place for you and your pet to recharge for a few days.

Depending on the hotel, Holiday Inn Express will usually charge a non-refundable pet deposit or a nightly fee ranging from $15 to $35. Most hotels allow 2 pets per room, and a handful only allow pets in designated pet-friendly rooms which makes booking ahead of time essential. Some hotels allow dogs up to 50 lbs, while others max out at 80 lbs, so remember to check the pet policy of your desired location before booking. If you want to bring your feline friend along it’s important to check if the hotel welcomes cats, as some only allow man’s best friend.

While Express’ pet policies are fairly consistent across the board, there can be differences between individual hotels.

Holiday Inn Express is part of the InterContinental Hotels Group brand. InterContinental is a British hospitality company with roots tracing back to 1777. It was way back then when William Bass, renowned brewer and founder of Bass Brewery, began his initial venture into the lodging business. In 1990, nearly 200 years after Bass’ first foray, Holiday Inn Express was founded, and is now one of the world's fastest growing hotel chains.
