Pet-friendly hotels in Detroit: chain and luxury hotel pet fees, weight limits and local tips
Detroit and downtown Midtown hotels increasingly list pet fees online. Below: verified hotels with published rules, plus DTW tips.
Policies change: confirm with the hotel. Pet fees, weight limits and the number of pets are set by each brand and often by each hotel, and can change without notice. We read every chain’s official page on . Call or message the hotel to confirm before you book, and declare your pet at check-in.

Hilton says it welcomes pets at over 5,000 hotels in the US and Canada; rules are set per hotel, so filter for pet-friendly and read the hotel's policy.
Aloft's ARF program welcomes pets with a bed, bowl, treats and toys. The brand page gives no fee, weight or number: each Marriott hotel sets its own pet rules.
Luxury hotels set their own pet rules, so we read each hotel’s official pet policy rather than the brand’s. Fees in US dollars, weights in pounds. Check means the official page leaves something unclear or another source disagrees: call the hotel before you book.

Before you book
Filter for pet-friendly, then open the hotel’s own policy: fee per night or per stay, weight limit, number of pets, and whether cats are accepted.
Ask whether your pet may stay alone in the room: Motel 6 and Drury say pets should not be left alone.
Service animals are not pets. Ask the hotel how it handles service animals and emotional support animals rather than assuming a pet fee or limit applies.
