Worth knowing

How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 3 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 1,163 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 7.5/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: October 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet policy at a glance
- Pet fee: £20 per pet, per stay

Pet-friendly summary
Days Inn Bradford is a no-frills motorway stopover on the M62 that accepts dogs, which makes it useful as a quick overnight break on a long drive. Expectations should match the setting, though: guests travelling with dogs give it a mixed reception, and it carries a 3.7/5 paw rating.
Up to two dogs can stay, for a charge of £20 per dog, per stay, and dogs must not be left alone in the room. Service animals are welcome. The fee is the part that most surprises dog owners, as it is not obvious at booking, so factor it in.
On the plus side, the location is convenient for an overnight stop or a visit to relatives in the area, some guests find the rooms clean and reasonably priced, and the front-desk staff can be friendly. There is a patch of grass for a quick comfort break.
The negatives are real and worth weighing. Because the hotel takes pets, a pet odour hangs around in many rooms, sometimes even on the bedding, and some rooms have been described as dirty, dated and badly smelling. The outdoor area used for walking dogs is not kept clean, which makes the last walk of the evening less pleasant. Staff have also been firm, even brusque, about check-out time.
For dog owners who simply need somewhere close to the motorway to sleep for a night, Days Inn Bradford does the job, but anyone sensitive to smells, or wanting a pleasant place to walk the dog, should look elsewhere.
