Not everyone loves pet hotels

In their attempt to lure more customers by accepting pets [“Starwood Opens Its Doggie Door,” Aug. 31], hotels should keep in mind people like me and my wife, who avoid any hotel that accepts pets. We have spent too many sleepless nights next door to barking dogs and have sometimes wondered if that strange odor is due to some animal.
