This holiday inn allows pets and were very welcoming of us and our dog ( a border collie). The room was beautiful and the bed very comfortable. We were hauling our goats to the north dakota state university and will be going back tonight to spend the night before heading home. The price was very reasonable and only an additional $25 pet fee. I highly recommend this holiday inn!!
