Midwest Dog-Friendly Luxury Hotels

 

I love taking dog-friendly road trips with Dexter The Dog. Being from the Midwest, you would think I have a lot of experience staying in a lot of Midwest pet-friendly hotels. But the truth is, the Midwest encompasses a lot of great dog-friendly states that I have not ventured to…..yet.

When planning my dog-friendly vacations I will definitely check out some of these luxury pet-friendly hotels and resorts.
