Greater Portland & Casco Bay hotels, motels invite your pet to come on vacation

If you cannot imagine enjoying your vacation without your pet, bring him or her along when you stay at the AAA Four-Diamond Portland Harbor Hotel. The hotel, conveniently situated in one of the city’s most walkable and pet-welcoming areas, the Old Port, welcomes pets of any size in several rooms on its first two floors. Rooms are spacious with luxurious bedding and modern amenities. And you’ll find you can walk to a variety of shops and eateries (and, especially, breweries) that welcome dogs, sometimes with treats and water bowls. Casco Bay Lines lets you bring your dog on board on cruises to the islands; the Narrow Gauge Railroad welcomes dogs on their trains. There are several dog parks and regular parks with trails and pathways for leashed dogs.
