In Bishop, Inyo County, along the stunning Eastern Sierra, Best Western Bishop Lodge sits as a solid option for travelers arriving with dogs. The lodge allows up to two dogs per room with no size restrictions for $30 per pet per night, which you’ll pay directly at check-in. It’s a straightforward arrangement that makes planning easier than trying to figure out weight limits or breed restrictions elsewhere.

When you arrive, the front desk staff will hand your dog a welcome treat, which is a nice touch after a long drive. There’s a grassy pet relief area on the property with a waste station, so you won’t have to search the neighborhood looking for a place to let your dog do their business. The lodge does ask that you don’t leave your dog unattended in the room and keeps dogs out of the main lobby area, which is a pretty standard setup.

Check-in runs from 4:00 PM to midnight, so if you’re rolling in after a day of exploring the surrounding Sierra Nevada or heading toward hiking trails in the area, you have a decent window to get settled. The location puts you close to Bishop’s downtown shops and restaurants, many of which have outdoor seating where you can keep your dog nearby while you eat.

One thing to note: the lodge doesn’t accept cats, only dogs. If you’re traveling with both, you’ll need to look elsewhere. The policy against leaving dogs unattended in rooms means you’ll need to plan your activities accordingly—no leaving your dog behind while you go out for the evening. For anyone visiting the Eastern Sierra with a dog and wanting a basic, no-fuss place to stay, this works. It’s not fancy, but the staff seems genuinely okay with having dogs around, which matters more than amenities sometimes.
