BALTIMORE, MD--(Marketwired - Mar 31, 2015) - For some, a vacation isn't complete unless the family pet can come along, too. Such inclusive travelers heading to Maryland will be glad to hear, then, that the Residence Inn Baltimore Downtown/Inner Harbor has been named one of the most pet-friendly hotels in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. With a top score from industry expert BringFido.com, and an array of amenities to welcome human visitors as well, the hotel ensures a home-away-from-home experience for the whole family.

Dubbed "Fido's Favorite," the award recognizes the most exceptional pet-friendly properties as reviewed by BringFido.com's 12-million annual visitors. Those who stay at a property can rate it for pet-friendliness on a scale of one to five, and only those earning a score of four or higher are eligible for the Fido's Favorite award. These criteria mean that just 10% of pet-friendly lodgings receive the award.

The accommodating pet policy at this extended-stay hotel in Baltimore's Inner Harbor has earned it the appreciation of many a pet-owner, resulting in its impressive score of five out of five. Guests may bring up to two animals per room, each weighing up to 100 pounds, for a $100 fee. There's no limit to the pet-friendly rooms available, so guests can feel comfortable bringing the family pet along on trips.

But where policies end, hospitality begins, and this property remains peerless among other Baltimore hotels near the Inner Harbor. Guests encounter staff who enthusiastically welcome pets and go above and beyond to make them feel at home, whether that's by offering treats to the dog or providing its owner with a portable water bowl.

Of course, the fact that visitors and their furry friends can bed down in some of Baltimore's most well-appointed hotel suites near the Inner Harbor helps put everyone at ease. Spacious rooms include studio and one- and two-bedroom layouts so there's room for everyone to unwind. Full kitchens make it easy to stick to regular diets, human or canine.
