Is there a better travel companion than a pet? They pack light, don't complain during layovers or long road trips and when you finally get to where you're headed, they're happy to sleep on the floor so you can have the bed.

Of course, if Fido or Frisky knew a stay at these Philly pet-friendly hotels was in their future, they'd probably have a reason to be on their best behavior, don't you think?
