Traveling to Hayward, Wisconsin, with your pet means finding a hotel that welcomes both of you. Two solid options stand out: the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Hayward by IHG and the Super 8 by Wyndham Hayward WI. The Holiday Inn Express, rated Exceptional (95/100), is a central hotel with an indoor pool, sauna, and free breakfast-a comfortable base for families. The Super 8, a budget motel with a Decent score (46/100), sits on the banks of Hayward Lakes and offers an indoor heated pool, hot tub, and easy access to the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, just a 5-minute walk away. Expect to pay moderate rates for these pet-friendly stays, with the Super 8 being the cheaper option.
For convenience, both hotels are near key attractions. The Holiday Inn Express is less than 1 km from the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame and a 4-minute walk to Scheer's Lumberjack Shows, making it ideal for families who want to explore. The Super 8 is close to Wilderness Walk Zoo (2 miles) and the Hayward Lakes, perfect for fishing enthusiasts. When booking, confirm pet policies directly with the hotel, as pet fees and restrictions can vary. Whether you choose the business-friendly amenities of the Holiday Inn Express or the scenic lake views at the Super 8, both offer the essentials-free parking, WiFi, and a place to rest after a day of adventure with your furry companion.
