Local hotel donates part of pet fees to animal shelter

GAYLORD — Since its opening in 2021, investing in the local community has been a priority for the Comfort Inn & Suites/MainStay Suites hotel complex. As a pet-friendly lodging property, they are eager to support the Otsego County Animal Shelter.

The property plans to donate 10 percent of collected pet fees annually, which totaled $2,500 for their first full year of operation in 2022 and again in 2023. The Otsego County Animal Shelter was presented with the donation earlier this month.

“Giving back to the community is essential to make sure our guests, employees and the community itself are safe and well cared for now and always. I'm thankful our local ownership is so involved in investing back into our community and dedicated to the sustained support for our local animal shelter. We love hosting our guests who bring their furry friends with them and take pride in supporting the animals locally that need a loving hand," general manager Collin Wilson said in a statement.
