Bringing Your ESA to Hotels and Airbnbs in Colorado
If you rely on an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) for comfort and support, you might wonder if you can bring your ESA when staying at hotels or Airbnbs in Colorado. While many accommodations are pet-friendly, ESAs have special considerations under the law.
Understanding your rights and responsibilities helps ensure a smooth stay with your ESA.
🏨 Hotels and ESAs in Colorado
Hotels are not legally required to accommodate ESAs the same way they are required to allow service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). However, many hotels do have pet-friendly policies and may allow ESAs with proper documentation.
It is important to contact the hotel ahead of time, provide your valid ESA letter, and clarify any fees or restrictions.
🏠 Airbnbs and ESAs
Airbnb hosts are private individuals and not bound by the ADA or Fair Housing laws. This means policies on ESAs vary widely between listings. Some hosts welcome ESAs, while others may not.
Always communicate with the host before booking, disclose your ESA, and provide documentation if requested.
✈️ Traveling with a PSD for Greater Access
If you want broader public access rights, including easier hotel accommodations, consider obtaining a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD) letter. PSDs are recognized as service animals under the ADA, granting more protections in public places, including hotels.
CertifyESA can help you get a valid PSD letter from licensed Colorado therapists through a convenient online evaluation.
