Hotels that allow large dogs: weight limits by chain

Short answer: Kimpton has no size or weight limit, and Sonesta has no brand-wide weight restriction (individual hotels can set one). Red Roof and Best Western allow dogs up to 80 lb each; Motel 6 allows 150 lb combined. Drury and Hyatt Place are the tightest of the chains we checked.

Per-dog vs combined limits

"80 lb per dog" (Red Roof, Best Western) means two 75 lb dogs are fine. "80 lb combined" (Drury) means they aren't. Motel 6 uses 150 lb combined; Hyatt Place (per one hotel's document) uses 50 lb per dog and 75 lb combined.

Traveling with three or more dogs? See hotel chains that allow 3 or more dogs.

Before you book

Give the hotel each dog's weight when you call.
Ask whether the limit is per dog or combined.
Get any exception in writing.

Every value comes from the chain's own website, checked on the date shown. "Not stated — call property" means the official source doesn't say. Policies change and individual hotels can differ, so confirm with the hotel before you book.
