According to People Magazine, Holiday Inn has responded by saying that they are encouraging their hotels to accommodate people with pets, but they have not required their hotels to accept pets. Please keep sharing the petition to demand that Holiday Inn change their policy to require ALL of their hotels to accept pets during Hurricane Harvey recovery and during ALL future emergency disaster relief situations at all of their locations. Here is the text of Holiday Inn's response: "We are working to understand what occurred in this instance, and are communicating to our franchisees in the impacted areas to do all they can to accommodate pets,” the statement read. “As the region continues to feel impacts from the storm, we are highly sensitive to the needs of those affected during this extremely difficult time and are working diligently to best accommodate guests and their needs, and comfort those seeking relief at IHG hotels.”
