Pet friendly motels and dog friendly hotels are not as difficult to find as you might think. Although many hotels still don’t allow pets of any kind in their rooms, there are substantial amounts that do. Most of the time there will be no extra charge for accommodating your furry critter, but sometimes you will be asked to pay a small fee usually ranging anywhere from 5 dollars to 50 dollars. Pet hotels and pet friendly motels are very convenient for people who like to travel and not have to go through the hassle of leaving their pet to the care of friends, family or expensive pet care establishments.
There are a variety of options of pet accommodations you can choose from when travelling, such as pet friendly motels, pet hotels, bed and breakfasts’, resorts and vacation rentals. Sometimes you can be charged a small fee, and other times you may be charged a deposit, which would be returned if your pet causes no apparent damage. It is also possible to find a number of dog friendly hotels that will provide veterinary services and pet care facilities such as beds and blankets. (more…)
In Austin hotels heavy discounts are offered, even for four- and five-star hotels. These discounts can be up to 70 percent of the room charges. So if one is lucky enough, or if one does a bit of online research, one can get a four-star hotel room for a two-star price. The chances of getting a discount are higher if you are getting your room booked well in advance.

For many business owners, the thought of planning a summer vacation can be complicated at best and unthinkable at worst.
Concerns about customer or client care and anxiety about missed business opportunities can make many small-business owners feel they cannot take any time off.
Despite these worries, more than 67 percent of business owners still expect to take a break for at least one week this summer, according to an annual survey by OPEN from American Express, the company’s small-business team.
