So Marion's point is well made. It is not a law, but a request or suggestion
and if one prefers a "rule" as I am reading it and more directly aimed at
"pet" owners  and not experienced and knowledgeable  handlers such as the
ones here on this list. Our service animals are not pets, and we therefore,
are not held to those rules and regulations, it would just be best if we did
not do it, yet in instances where we must we can even if the hotel is not
"pet" friendly. I still like Marion's position and reasoning on not leaving
our dogs in the room though.

per the TIA.org that governs the hotel (Travel Industry Association) which
is the US Travel Association website. Not a law which I mis-spoke but rule
in most hotels. 

see below

It is also important to not leave your pet in the room unattended. Stated in
most hotel rules, it is just good sense; not only will your dog be very
anxious alone in an unfamiliar place, they may bark excessively disturbing
other guests or act destructively towards the room. 

These are in reference to Pet Friendly Hotels.

  Good morning, everyone.  In light of our current discussion on policies
and procedures:  when any of us wishes to discuss laws or policies, let's
cite reference numbers, law numbers, policy sources and names--whatever it
takes to lend even more credibility to what we're saing.  We don't need a
hug list of these sources but examples of policies.  For example, Let's say
Holiday Inns have a policy about not leaving pets in hotel rooms, cite some
sort of source from where the policy came or from whom it came to be.  this
is just an example, so, let's try to remember to do that from now on.  

  thanks.

  Margo and Arrow
