La Quinta by Wyndham St. George
11
La Quinta by Wyndham St. George is by far one of the most popular pet-friendly hotels we’ve stayed at. Location, facilities, and hospitality-wise, the hotel made sure to have them all in the bag. Like most La Quinta hotels, this one is well-maintained, complete with its signature modern contemporary interior.
That said, as the staff helped us have a smooth check-in, it was apparent why this hotel is a favorite amongst pet parents. Their pet policy alone allows a hassle-free stay with them welcoming two pets (cats and dogs) up to 75 lbs for an additional fee of $25 per night. For pet amenities, our dog got a water bowl, an ample walking area, and waste bags for potty.
Other than the hotel’s obvious affinity for pets, we human guests also had a few facilities to enjoy ourselves. For starters, our guestroom was perfectly spacious, comfortable, and convenient. It was on the first floor, making it closer to the exit, and was equipped with all the necessary mod-cons. Furthermore, there was an outdoor pool, a hot tub, and a fitness center for us to indulge in. The hotel’s free breakfast was also one of the perks of staying here. Lastly, the additional amenities including free parking spaces, and airport shuttle services made our stay extra convenient.

Additionally, the hotel also sits right next to a Walmart and several restaurants, making it extra convenient for us. To top it off, since our dog was allowed unattended in the room while crated, we had no problem checking out the hotel facilities. There was an on-site full-service salon and day spa, a heated outdoor pool, and a gym. That said, the hotel’s outdoor patio easily became our go-to spot to hang out with our dog.

Best value for money. Whenever we’re traveling out of town with our dogs, we always look out for a Red Roof Inn. And luckily, this time we got to stay at the Red Roof Inn St George UT – Convention Center because one thing we can say about Red Roof Inn is that they never disappoint. For one, even though they’re dubbed as a ‘budget hotel’, the services that they provide are always impeccable while still being affordable. Secondly, the hotel’s affinity for dogs is evident in their pet policy which welcomes one dog up to 50lbs for no extra charge.
While the hotel is not the most modern, our stay was still comfortable. The room was cozy enough, with amenities like a microwave, a minifridge, and a TV with streaming services. Additionally, the wooden flooring was a convenient detail for easy clean-up after our dog. Furthermore, the hotel also provides a green space for our dog to potty. As for us, we got to enjoy facilities like a heated outdoor pool, free coffee and tea, and a snack bar. Lastly, the hotel’s location is another perk we got to have. It’s only minutes away from Main Street, and around the hotel was a shopping center and numerous restaurants.

Staying at the St. George Inn and Suites was an easy decision for us. For one, its central location made it easy for us to explore not only just the town but also numerous outdoor destinations, including Zion National Park. Plus, we were surrounded by several restaurants, making it extra convenient for us. That said, it was their inclusive pet policy that landed them a spot on our list. Thanks to them, our cat got to tag along on this trip. We only had to pay for the $20 pet fee per night. Beyond that, the pet policy extends to welcoming up to two pets (dogs and cats) of any size per room. Additionally, we were able to leave our cat in the room while she was in her crate.
Furthermore, when it came to the hotel’s service and hospitality, it was very accommodating. The staff was able to give us a room with plenty of sunlight, as our cat preferred. Other than having a cable TV, a microwave, and a fridge, the room also had tile flooring for easy cleanup.

Like all the Hyatt Place hotels, the Hyatt Place St George/Convention Center has its signature luxurious comfort to them. The hotel sports a contemporary modern decor, giving us a high-class vibe to our stay. Not to mention, the hotel allowing us to have our dogs staying with us only enhanced our experience. Granted, there was a $25 fee per pet, per night, but we were able to bring up 2 dogs with a combined weight of 60 lbs.
Beyond that, everything was picture-perfect. The professional staff helped us have a smooth check-in and set us up with a spacious pet-friendly room on the ground floor. The room was excellent, our dogs got to sleep on the sofa bed, and the mod-cons added to our comfort. However, we weren’t able to leave our dogs unattended in the room, so we had to take turns checking out the pool, and the gym. Although the hotel’s outdoor patio with its firepit made a fantastic place to relax with our dogs. Lastly, like the fancy hotel that it is, we got to enjoy an amazing breakfast spread for free, and not to mention, free parking too.

Secondly, the hotel offered us facilities including hot tubs, indoor and outdoor pools, an on-site gym, and more. There are even extra amenities like a laundromat and a business center for our convenience.
Most, importantly, we were allowed two pets up to 75 lbs for an additional fee of $75 for up to a 4-night stay, and $125 for longer. This time we had our dogs with us, but the hotel also welcomes cats. That said, with two extra furry guests with us, we were pleasantly surprised to find the room to be spacious.

Staying at Hilton Garden Inn St. George, we were provided with the height of convenience. For starters, the hotel is adjacent to Dixie Convention Center and directly off Interstate 15. There are also plenty of dining options within walking distance for us to choose from. Not to mention, the hotel pet policy allowed us to have our pets (dogs or cats) with us, provided they weigh under 75 lbs. We also appreciate how they have a flat rate for the pet fee.

Tru By Hilton St. George is one of the newer pet-friendly hotels in St. George, UT, so everything was still sleek and pristine. It’s located in the city center, with go-to destinations like Pioneer Park and Vernon Worthen are under a 10-minute drive away. If that wasn’t convenient enough, we were also spoiled with the many choices of restaurants near the hotel. On top of that, the hotel is incredibly affectionate to pets, too. Their pet policy welcomes pets (cats/dogs) of any size for a flat rate of $50 for up to a 4-night stay and $75 for longer.
When we stayed here with our cat, the hotel staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. For starters, during check-in they didn’t fuss over our cat too much, gave her some treats, and hooked us up with a room with plenty of sunlight. The only downside was that the room wasn’t the most spacious. It was okay for us since we only had our cat with us, but if we had brought dogs, it would’ve been a bit stuffy. That said, it was still comfortable enough, the wood flooring was extra convenient, and the mod-cons were sufficient.
Furthermore, the hotel offered us facilities and amenities that only made us enjoy our stay even more. They have an outdoor pool, a gym, a cozy outdoor patio, and a lounge with a pool table. Plus, freebies like complimentary breakfast, free parking, and free wi-fi are additional perks to our stay.

Best Western Plus Abbey Inn

When it comes to dog-friendly hotels in St George, UT, we would always recommend Best Western Plus Abbey Inn. Not only is the hotel known for having excellent hospitality, but it’s also amazing for dog parents. With their pet policy, we were able to have up to 2 dogs with us for a pet fee of $30 per night. That said, there’s an 80 lbs weight cap, and cats are unfortunately not allowed. But beyond that, the staff were fantastic to our dog. We were provided with ample green space to take our dog to the potty and were given waste bags.
Furthermore, we got to enjoy the comfort of having a pool, a gym, and a snack bar on-site. Plus, the hotel also allowed our leashed dog in some of the common spaces, so we didn’t have to leave him unattended in our room. That said, when it came to the guest room, ours was great. Our dog was comfortable throughout our stay, and so were we. Lastly, when we were not enjoying the comfort of the hotel, the hotel’s ideal location made it easy for us to explore St George. For example, the area has lots of restaurants, and for outdoor activities, the Red Hills Desert Garden is just 10 minutes away.

Red Mountain Resort

Best resort for pets. The Red Mountain Resort is located a few minute’s drive away from central St George, but the secluded location only added to the relaxing experience of our stay. The resort sits at the base of Snow Canyon State Park, with a view of rocky mountains surrounding us. Furthermore, the resort has all the signature comfort of an out-of-town retreat. For one, there’s the aforementioned secluded location, and the resort facilities include a full-service health spa and salon, pools, fitness classes, and a high-end on-site restaurant.
On top of it all, thanks to their pet-friendly policy, our dog didn’t miss out on any of the adventuring and pampering. Our dogs were provided with water bowls and treats at check-in, and the resort’s gorgeous property came with a looping trail that was amazing for dog walks. That said, the pet policy here is inclusive to cats and dogs of all sizes for an additional fee of $35 per pet, per night.
Furthermore, while pets weren’t allowed in the villas, the standard room that we had was plenty comfortable. However, we’d prefer it if it were bigger, but no matter, we mostly spent our time indulging in the resort’s facilities or trekking through the neighboring red mountains with our dogs.
“No other pet-friendly hotels in St George, UT, does luxurious retreat like the Red Mountain Resort do. The location alone guarantees the perfect balance of relaxation and advanture with our pets.”

Overall Best. Staying at The Advenire, Autograph Collection was a treat for us. This hotel is for sure one of the more luxurious pet-friendly hotels in St George, Utah. It’s located right in the heart of St George, specifically on West Boulevard with Town Square Park a block away. The hotel itself sports a modern and sophisticated look that reflects the rich local pioneer heritage, which made us feel extra fancy.
When we got here, the luxurious lobby and professional staff immediately set the tone of our stay. We had a smooth check-in, thanks to the hotel’s pet policy that extends to not only cats and dogs but also to birds and fish. Notably, there’s a 75 lbs weight cap, and the $75 pet fee per night might be on the pricier side, but it was worth the experience we had here.
That said, we stayed here with our two dogs and the staff showered them with attention and treats. They also set us up in a beautiful guest room with a city view. The room was well-decorated with branded furniture and amenities. The bed was especially plush, and our dogs got to hop in with us. Lastly, while we love lounging in our room, we couldn’t miss out on pampering ourselves at the hotel’s spa center, outdoor whirlpool, and on-site gym.

Where To Stay in St George, UT with Your Pet?
Most pet parent travelers visit St George, Utah to enjoy the many outdoor recreations the town offers with their pets. Like them, we also come here to explore at least one of the State Parks that surround St George. There’s the Snow Canyon State Park, Sand Hollow State Park, and Red Cliffs National Conservation Area, among many others.
That said, even though the state parks are relatively close to St George, they are still quite a drive away. So for an alternative, we recommend checking out Pioneer Park and the Red Hill Desert Garden. Both can be easily accessed from central St George, specifically from North Main Street. If you’re here to check out the golf courses in St George, we found staying around the Dixie Convention Center, or Middleton to be ideal. Those are the areas on the outskirts of town where most of the golf courses are.
Beyond that, St George is a relatively small town with highways that easily connect to all parts of town. So really, staying close to the I-15 is our hack to getting around St George. Plus, as a town that offers an infinite amount of outdoor adventure, we can always easily find dog-friendly hotels in Saint George, Utah.
