This is Probably a Useless Response
But, I will try anyway.
There are good dog owners, bad and then very bad dog owners.
The very bad ones make it difficult to travel with good dogs, since there is no way to interview them on check-in.
The Marriott Resorts have welcomed our big dogs many, many times over the years. We have never been charged for an "Extra Clean-Up Fee", because they
know our history.
But, we did have to pay a clean-up fee for the grand kids' stay

No it won't. You started a very good thread that contained good information and bam.
I have not posted for a while, but this thread really turned into a major joke.
Since maybe nomads, and those other suspect people who are not nomads, travel with their dogs, renting rooms to them is a matter of economics. If
someone chooses not to rent to them, so be it, others will. We cover the beds but dog hair and dander will spread even with the dogs on the floors
and the beds covered, and no, unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary, they are not sleeping in the car. They are a part of the family, no matter how
disgusting that is to some.
Baja Cactus is our first choice when Jardines is full, and will continue to be so, unless the dog policy changes.
We just laugh and figure if anyone does not like our dogs in OUR home, on OUR furniture, then they simply should not visit. No problem, we like the
dogs better than most people anyway.
Packoderm, your post was the best without question, IMHO.
Ralph, thanks for the heads-up on reporting that there was a problem so others can and will be more careful even when told it is safe. Now, about
getting that quad into the room---
Back into my luking mode.

Some folks prefer dogs over people. Might not be a bad choice, when you think
about it. Just don't want to be sleeping in their beds.

Can some one start another thread on how nice the Cactus is. I keep seeing the "broken into" header and think, "Oh, not again."

Just a few short years ago, we rented a place in Baja and noticed the bed was not made real well. We pulled back the covers and there were a few
short little human hairs on the sheets. 
We slept on top on our dog covers.

charge for that too. 5 dollars per fart. If you're going to do anything other than fart-free sleeping in the bed while wearing clean pajamas, with
booties, please do so in your car or truck. Walking on the hotel floor with bare feet is disgusting... |
Hey, leave farting out of this! I don't know about you, but mine don't smell. 
And my wife insists that she doesn't fart at all.
Feel free to charge more for sex, it's overrated anyway.

I always thought sex was a non planned thing. So, now what you are saying is that is you decide you have sixx you need to run up to the front desk
and ask for a proper room.

Unruly dogs always reflect on their inconsiderate owners. Dogs should NEVER be allowed on the beds!!! It is not fair to people who have allergies. If
anyone, staff or visitors to a room, sees a dog on a bed they should be reported and put on a list to never be allowed to stay there again.
Dogs on beds are the major concern for hotel owners. That is the first thing they mention as a reason to not allow dogs. It is a valid concern and one
I can understand.
As always, inconsiderate people ruin it for responsible dog owners and for those whom pet dander and hair on a bed would be harmful to their health.

I couldn't agree more.
Anyone who would allow their pet on the bed in a hotel is not cool.
Duke, our Lab, travels in a crate on hiway trips such as Baja. It is secured to the vehicle so in case of an accident, he is not injured.
He loves his crate, having been trained in it as a pup, that it is a safe place of refuge and generally means fun is around the corner for him.
It's his "den".
Duke sleeps in his crate when we stay in a hotel that accepts pets and is usually much more comfortable in it than the unfamiliar surroundings.
Since he was also house trained in it, we can if the occasion arrises, take him for a walk, bring him back to the room and secure him in the crate
while we go out to dinner or the like. We don't have to worry that he might freak out while we are gone and trash the room, or worse yet find he has
pulled down the bed clothes and is snuggled into our nice fresh sheets for the evening.

Wow Diane, you wern't kidding when you said, "we don't like most (some??) people". 
It is really interesting to learn the "likes and dislikes" of people---------perhaps this is one reason why some folks like their motor
homes/trailers. Personally I like the no-hassle
life of staying in Motel/Hotels-------never could justify a "motor home", or even a trailer, when you factor in the hassle of hauling one, and keeping
it repaired and in good condition. My Callen Camper is about as far as I ever want to go in that direction, and it is only for those windy and/or
rainy nights you occasionally encounter.
To each their own, for sure.

Sleeping in other peoples beds can be a risky proposition. Dogs? They might be
the least of your worries.

My dog Paco
...is very wise. The cool tile floor of The Baja Cactus Hotel room (101)is his favorite place. He thinks beds are for Pussywussies. He thinks they
smell like funky human activity crumbs. He is kinda ashamed of me for sleeping in one.
He is reading this string and taking names. When judgment day comes, (according to him) he is going to bite some butts.

Paco------You are my kind of dog! I think I like you, tho your partner can be cantankerous and grouchy. When "judgement day" comes, it's me and
you------OK?
Es bueno-----------you and me------------remember.
