My Place Hotel-Medford

Best Hotel For Extended Stay. My Place Hotel-Medford is perfect for guests on a stopover, as it’s literally right outside the airport. However, it also caters well to those looking for an extended stay. The hotel offers suite rooms equipped with a kitchen, cooking utensils, and a fridge, along with added comforts like cable TV, a couch, and a workspace. The room was decently sized, comfortably accommodating both us and our cats.
The hotel’s pet-friendly policy allowed us to bring our cats for an additional fee of $25 plus tax per pet per night. If you have dogs, the hotel accommodates them as well, provided they weigh under 80 lbs. While our cats enjoyed sun-lit spots and attention, dogs have access to a grassy area for potty breaks.
Overall, My Place Hotel-Medford is a great hotel to stay with your pets. The room and pet policy made for a comfortable stay, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Despite the limited facilities, we appreciated the included breakfast, laundromat, and free parking.

Staying at Clarion Pointe Medford was a delightful experience. Even though it’s regarded as a “budget” hotel, everything was clean and well-maintained. The hotel staff was welcoming and accommodating, making our pet feel right at home. As for the pet policy, the hotel allows up to two dogs per room, with a 30 lbs weight limit, for an additional fee of $20 per pet per night
Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, providing ample space for our pup to move around. The microwave and refrigerator in the room were convenient for storing and preparing our pet’s food. Furthermore, the hotel surprised us with its various facilities and amenities. We particularly enjoyed the complimentary breakfast each morning, which offered a good variety of choices. Additionally, the indoor heated pool and fitness center added to the overall enjoyment of our stay.
The strategic location was also a great perk we enjoyed while staying here. We were right in the shopping center, with Walmart and other shops surrounding us. Plus, it’s near Interstate 5 and just a short drive from the Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport.

Our stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Medford was excellent for both us and our dog. The hotel welcomes two dogs per room with a fee of $25 per pet per night, making it genuinely pet-friendly. Plus, when we got here, the staff was excited to have a furry guest in the hotel.
That said, after checking us in, the staff showed us to our room, which was spacious and clean. It was obvious that the room was newly designed, as all the amenities were in mint condition. There was a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and a chaise lounge for our pup to nap on, among other amenities
Furthermore, the perks of staying here don’t stop there. We thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary breakfast each morning, and the indoor pool and fitness center were great for unwinding. The 24-hour business center and laundry facilities were convenient for our needs, and the free airport shuttle service was a nice touch.

Having stayed at many Homewood Suites, we expected great service and pet-friendly accommodations. Yet, Homewood Suites Medford exceeded our expectations. Upon arrival, the friendly staff welcomed us warmly, showering our dogs with attention. Furthermore, the hotel’s pet-welcoming treatment extends to allowing up to two pets (cats or dogs) up to 50 lbs, with a fee of $75 for stays of 1 to 4 nights and $125 for longer stays.

Plus, the amenities made our stay even better: a complimentary breakfast that we enjoyed on the outdoor terrace with our pups, plus free parking, WiFi, and an airport shuttle.

Hampton Inn Medford

The Hampton Inn Medford was just a pleasant place to stay with our pets. The hotel had all the necessities we needed to be comfortable. Their pet accomodating policy allowed guests a maximum of two pets (dog/cats) per room. Granted, there’s a $75 (for up to 4 nights stay, $125 for more) pet fee and a 75 lbs weight limit, but as long as we have a place to sleep with our pet, then it’s all settled. That said, the quality hospitality we received was worth the fee.
For starters, the hotel was newly renovated, so everything was in mint condition, from the hotel’s looks to the furnishing and interior. Together with it, the staff also seemed to have an extra spring to their steps as they happily assisted us throughout our stay. As for our room, it was more spacious than we expected, especially with only one dog with us in tow. The room was also fitted with a TV and a sofa that our dog could sleep on.
Beyond that, the hotel’s facilities made our stay even better. We got a nice breakfast buffet each morning, access to the indoor pool, and fitness center, and also free parking. Furthermore, the hotel terrace was a great place to unwind with our dog, but the hotel’s ideal location made exploring Medford our favorite activity.

Comfort Inn Medford South

Comfort Inn Medford South is one of the most popular hotels in Medford with pet parents. At first, we thought it was because of the hotel’s strategic location near a shopping center and a park, but it turns out it was more than that. For us, the hotel’s pet-friendly hospitality was the highlight of our stay. Guests were allowed 2 pets up to 75 lbs for an additional fee of $25 per pet per night. And since this time we had our cat with us, the pet policy suited us perfectly.
That said, the friendly staff also made our stay better. We were welcomed with warm smiles, and our cat even got some treats. Our room was also well-made, everything was tidied nicely, and it was the perfect space to accommodate us and our cat. Plus, having the cable TV and coffee maker added to our comfort.
While going out and about was a breeze thanks to the hotel’s nearby I-5 location, we also enjoyed lazing around in the hotel. In the mornings, we’d start the day with our complimentary breakfast at the outdoor terrace with our cat, then maybe take a dip in the pool or exercise in the fitness center afterward.

Rogue Regency Inn & Suites

Best Value For Money. As far as dog-friendly hotels in Medford, OR, go, the Rogue Regency Inn & Suites is one of our faves. The hotel is quite popular since they’re located just off I-5, but for us, it’s their pet policy that pulled us in. The hotel welcomes two dogs of any size in designated rooms for an additional fee of $10 per pet per night. And they were also considerate enough to put the pet-friendly rooms on the ground floor for our convenience. Plus, not only was the staff friendly to us and our dog, but they also gave our dogs some treats after helping us check in.
Furthermore, when it came to the hotel’s services, we couldn’t be more satisfied. Our room was nice and had a laminate floor, so no spill worries. It also came with a cable TV and fridge. Though our pup didn’t have a sofa to himself, he was allowed to hop on the bed with us.
Lastly, the hotel has a bunch of on-site facilities for us to indulge in, from an indoor pool and a hot tub to a beauty salon and fitness center. When our day was particularly tiring, the massage therapist at the hotel’s “Healing Garden” helped us unwind and relax. And while these were all nice, the luxury of enjoying our complimentary breakfast at the hotel’s garden patio was the cherry on top for us.

Best Location. When we first arrived at Best Western Horizon Inn, the hotel’s red brick building immediately caught our attention. Somehow it made the hotel look quaint and comfortable, especially when paired with the hotel’s well-manicured greenery.
Once we got inside and met the staff, it was clear that the hotel had more than its good looks. Its exemplary hospitality was evident in how professional and helpful the staff was. They were also so nice to our dog and gave him lots of neck scratches. That said, the hotel’s pet policy here accounts for Best welcoming two pets (dogs/cats) up to 80 lbs in designated rooms for an additional fee of $25 per night.
Furthermore, while the suites weren’t for pets, we still enjoyed staying in the standard room. It came with all the amenities for us to be comfortable with our dog. There was a TV and a chair for our dog to nap on, and the ensuite bathroom came with a bathtub and toiletries. Plus, the hotel had all sorts of facilities for us to enjoy. From an outdoor pool and a hot tub to a fitness center and free breakfast, we were thoroughly pampered. While all of these were fantastic enough, the hotel’s ideal location across from Bear Creek Park was what sealed the deal for us.

Staying at the Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Medford was an easy choice for sure. Knowing they’re under the Marriott Hotel’s wings assured us of world-renowned hospitality for us and our pets. The hotel itself was new, so everything from the furniture to the hotel’s style was modern and well-polished. That said, while the hotel’s luxurious appearance elevated our experience, it was the pet policy that put them so high on our list. Guests were allowed to bring up to 2 pets of any size for an affordable $50 pet fee per stay.
We stayed here with our cat, and she enjoyed the luxurious treatment as much as we did. The staff attended to our every need, and the on-site facilities added to our convenience. When we were not in our cozy and spacious room, we were most likely lounging on the hotel’s terrace or checking out the pool. Aside from that, the free breakfasts became one of the highlights of our stay, and thanks to the hotel’s on-site snack bar, we always had something to munch on.
Moreover, while our cat didn’t need to be fussed over too much, dog owners can walk their dogs around the hotel’s green space. However, if you want a bigger space for your pets to play in, Bear Creek Park is just a short drive away.

Resort at Eagle Point Golf Club Lodging

So far the pet-friendly hotels in Medford, Oregon, that we have on this list are located in central Medford, but not Resort at Eagle Point Golf Club Lodging. It’s located just about 10 minutes north, and nestled inside a golf club, so you know the view is gonna be off the bat. That said, our experience was ten times better since we got to bring our dogs for only a $50 additional fee per stay, and our dogs were given goody bags with treats. If you have a big dog, no worries; the hotel doesn’t have a pet weight limit.
That aside, staying here was a healing experience for us. The resort’s secluded and serene setting allowed us to truly relax and slow down. It was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the town. Plus, with the staff assisting our every need, we were able to fully immerse ourselves in their generous hospitality.
Our mornings here would start with enjoying a warm cup of tea on our room balcony with the mountain view as our backdrop while our dogs enjoy their treats courtesy of the hotel. Then, we’d take advantage of the hotel’s excellent breakfast buffet before taking our dogs for a walk. In the afternoon, if we weren’t napping with our dogs, we’d enjoy a bit of golfing. Overall, if you’re in Medford and want to have a cozy retreat with your pets, we couldn’t recommend a Resort at Eagle Point Golf Club Lodging enough.

Experience paradise at Compass by Margaritaville Medford with its beach-themed, pet-friendly accommodations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the island-inspired aesthetic, featuring a tropical lobby and palm trees around the outdoor pool. The aquamarine color scheme further enhanced the serene ocean vibe, exceeding our expectations.
However, it was the hotel’s pet-friendly policy that won them first place on our list. The whole fun beach getaway setup was unique in and of itself, but the fact that we got to enjoy it with our pups was amazing. If you’re planning to bring your feline company, it’s A-Okay since the hotel welcomes up to 2 cats or dogs for only $25 per pet per night. It’s also extra convenient that there’s no weight limit.
That said, the overall services and facilities were excellent. Check-in was smooth, thanks to the professional staff who gave our dogs treats and toys before escorting us to our room. The room was perfect, with ample space for us and our dogs and wooden floors for easy cleanup. In-room amenities included a fridge, cable TV, and microwave.
Lastly, while our dogs couldn’t be left unattended in the room, they were welcome in common areas. So even though we had to take turns going to the fitness center, we could still hang out by the pool together or enjoy a nice day out in the hotel’s grassy area. With additional perks like free breakfast and parking, our stay was truly picture-perfect.
