Arc Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Arc Hotel holds a failing F Roch Rank. A number of rooms take dogs, up to two to a room, and yours is welcome in the lounge. Dogs can be left alone in the room, which gives you the freedom to head out for dinner.
The dog fee is $50 per stay, and a weight limit of 40 lb applies, so check ahead with a larger dog. There is no dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags, no garden or dedicated dog space, no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not been trained for canine guests.
Bring your own bowls and green spaces and parks are close by. This is a bare stay lifted by the lounge and the freedom to leave a settled dog, best for an owner who packs their own kit.
