Four-Legged Family Members Get the Gold-Star Treatment at the Residence Inn West Orange

WEST ORANGE, NJ--(Marketwired - Apr 10, 2015) - Travelers whose packing lists invariably include chew toys and pet food often rely on websites like BringFido.com to help them find destinations that love their pets as much as they do. Now that website is making the search even easier by issuing its Fido's Favorite award to the top-ranking accommodations for pets. And for those seeking pet-friendly hotels in New Jersey, the Residence Inn West Orange is undoubtedly the cat's meow.

To earn a Fido's Favorite award, a property must earn a score of four or higher (on a scale of one to five) from the site's 12-million annual users. Because of these strict parameters, only 10% of pet-friendly properties listed on the site receive the award.

Considering the range of animal-friendly amenities on-hand at the Residence Inn West Orange, however, it's no surprise the hotel enjoys a top score of five out of five on BringFido.com. Everyone from people to dogs, cats, birds and fish are welcome at this West Orange hotel where up to two pets per room are permitted. The hotel doesn't impose a weight limit, although guests should expect to pay a non-refundable $100 sanitation fee.

While pet owners can appreciate the flexibility of such policies, it's the day-to-day experience that makes four-legged family members truly feel at home. Pets, for example, are welcome in the suites, hallways, lobby and outdoors (including the handsome brick courtyard) with a Pet Walk located on property as well.

When guests wish to explore the surrounding area with their furry friends, the hotel has plenty of suggestions at the ready. Two dog parks are within seven miles of the property, and the staff can point guests in the direction of nearby vets, pet stores and pet playgrounds, all of which are less than two miles away. Plus the hotel's location near Montclair, New Jersey, means that guests enjoy easy access to the arts, dining and entertainment.

With such a convenient address and policies, it's no wonder pet-owners consider the property to be one of the most welcoming hotels in West Orange. As one long-term guest with pets recently commented, it's the best in the business. "I would highly recommend the Residence Inn West Orange to anyone who treats his/her four-legged, furry friends like family members. It's the best pet-friendly hotel and staff in New Jersey!" And that's something worth barking about.
