Call ahead and confirm pet-room availability
Arka Motel requires that guests calling with dogs confirm a pet-friendly room in advance — availability can be limited. The property's website and third-party listings advise guests to call ahead to reserve a pet-designated room.
Use the BookResorts agents' 24/7 reservation phone if you booked through that agency or need assistance: +1 (888) 605-1350. If you booked through another channel, contact the property or booking site listed on your confirmation.
- Call ahead to confirm a pet-friendly Standard Room is available for your dates
- Tell the agent how many dogs you’ll bring (maximum is two)
- If you need a specific bed configuration, confirm the room type exactly (e.g., Standard Room, Kitchenette - Pet friendly)
| When to call | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| At booking | Pet-friendly room availability; number of dogs |
| Before arrival | Check-in procedure, access code, rental agreement return |
| If plans change | Notify property about late arrival or extra pet |
Fees, deposits and variability
Published information about pet fees for Arka Motel varies across sources. Some listings report no additional fee for up to two dogs in designated rooms; other third-party sites list a fee of USD 25 per pet per stay. The property’s own site directs guests to call ahead for pet details but does not publish a single, definitive fee.
Service animals are exempt from pet fees according to OTA reporting. Because the fee details differ across sources, the safest approach is to confirm the exact pet fee and any refundable damage deposit when you call to reserve your pet-friendly room.
- Fees reported by third-party sites can differ; confirm with the property when you call
- Ask whether fees are per pet, per stay, or per night, and whether they’re refundable
- Request written confirmation of any pet-related charges on your reservation
| Reported fee type | What sources say |
|---|---|
| No fee reported | Some listings indicate no additional charge for up to two dogs (varies by channel) |
| $25 per pet per stay | Several OTAs list USD 25 per accommodation/per pet/per stay (may vary) |
| Service animals | Exempt from fees (reported by OTAs) |

Practical tips for traveling with dogs to Arka Motel
Bring your own dog supplies (bedding, bowls, cleanup bags) because the property does not list specific dog amenities. Keep dogs leashed in outdoor common areas and tidy up after them to avoid extra charges.
If you plan to use nearby outdoor attractions like Beaver Lake or the on-site mountain bike trail, check local rules for dogs at those sites separately; park and trail rules can differ from motel policy.
- Confirm pet-room availability and pet fee when you book
- Pack a crate or gate if your dog is not used to being unattended in a room
- Check pool and trail hours (pool: seasonal; trail: 8:00 AM to sunset)
- Call +1 (888) 605-1350 for BookResorts agent help or contact your booking channel
| Bring | Why |
|---|---|
| Dog bed/crate | Helps prevent damage to motel linens and furniture |
| Waste bags | Property requires cleanup of pet waste |
| Proof of service-animal paperwork (if applicable) | Required for service-animal accommodations and fee exemptions |
