A new pet peeve
A writer for The Boston Globe says he is also a dog-lover but speculates that hotels might want to put a leash on pet policies that include such antics as offering man’s best friend†Heavenly Beds†for just $225.
“I’m peeved at the way many hotels are loosening their policies about dogs,†says Peter Funt, a writer and television host.
“Many hotels are adding pet food to menus. Lowes Hotels now offers ‘Bow Wow Tenderloin of Beef’ made with filet mignon, eggs, brown rice and bread,†he says.
He adds his own dog would rather stay home and chew on an old slipper.
“What concerns me, now that hotels have determined that catering to pets is the latest marketing battleground, is what seasoned travelers call the ‘ick’ factor. There’s plenty of it, even at the best hotels: those hairs in the shower, the used tissue in the desk drawer, the sticky stuff on the phone,†he wrote.
