The Jacquard charges a non-refundable $150 pet fee per pet per stay, for dogs up to 50 lbs. each, and has a special floor designated for guests with pets. “We try to keep dogs on one floor out of respect for other guests who may have allergies or prefer to be away from dogs,” explains Gary Phipps, Jacquard assistant sales director. “We are seeing more and more people bringing their dogs, and we love welcoming them to the hotel.
