Dogs in hotels

Staying in a chain hotel. Just seen two lots of dogs being taken to stay in a room. One lot was 2 spaniels, the other was a sausage dog and a bigger one I can't identify. I mean, what the fuck!?? I'm allergic to dogs and how do I know if there's been one in my room? Easy, I feel a bit unwell. Am I completely alone in thinking dogs have no business being in hotels and their owners are shit owners to imagine their dogs would enjoy this sort of experience. As I type, a third one has arrived, a terrier looking thing. I'm totally gobsmacked at the number of dogs in this hotel and find it unacceptable. I feel quite fired up about this at the moment, probably made worse by the barking and yapping I can hear. So am I being unreasonable that dogs should not be allowed in hotels?

Bloody madness! These greedy businesses that only see the £! and don’t give a damn about the rest of us who don’t want to share a hotel/cafe/garden centre with dogs - I don’t go to cafes anymore that allow them.

Would you if it was cats?…🤨

What else did you think a business was about if not making money? Confused

I have contacted hotels to ask for a non dog friendly room before.

Dd is allergic, not sure if the dog would have to be there though for it to affect her but still.

Businesses are all about the £££ that's the point. They're not charities for people who hate dogs.

If the hotel advertises itself as dog friendly there will be dogs. Check before you go next time.

Every hotel I've ever stayed in with my dog has had specific "pet friendly" rooms that are clearly advertised when you book.

YABU.
