Housebreak Hotel is an episode from the second season of Garfield and Friends.
Synopsis
Garfield and Odie stay at a hotel that seems perfect, unaware that it may be too good to be true.
Plot
Jon is planning to go out of town; none of his friends want to look after Garfield and Odie while he is away, thus forcing him to put them in a pet shelter. Garfield is not very keen on the idea, at least until he sees a commercial on the TV about a "grand" pet hotel called Housebreak Hotel.
At Housebreak Hotel, Garfield, Jon, and Odie meet Howie, the smug owner of the hotel, who assures Jon that his pets will be taken good care of. As Jon leaves, the servants take Garfield and Odie to their rooms, which are revealed to be dull, dark storage areas where the pets are kept in cages. The hotel turns out to be a pet abusing scam which is illegal, with Howie being aware. Howie then serves up slop to the pets as their dinner. Garfield refuses to eat it, so Howie orders his goons to force-feed Garfield the food.
Later, as he is inside his cage, Garfield is unable to take anymore, so he escapes his cage by shaking it open, then releases all the other pets, causing them to escape, as well as rescuing Odie. With his business ruined, Howie tells Garfield that he will do anything just to get rid of Garfield. Garfield has a great idea in mind...
A few days later, Jon arrives at Hotel LePosh and finds both Garfield and Odie there, relaxing in a luxury room. Jon is enraged by how much this will cost, only to find out that Housebreak Hotel are paying for Garfield and Odie's hotel bill. With that, Jon relaxes with Garfield and Odie in Hotel LePosh.
