Avalon Hotel and Bungalows Palm Springs scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. Let's cut to the chase: this place isn't rolling out the red carpet for your four-legged friend. While most rooms are dog-friendly, the hefty $100 per pet per night fee is a real wallet-buster, especially when you consider the lack of amenities like dog beds or bowls. You’ll need to pack your own gear, which is a hassle for any seasoned dog traveler.
Dogs are allowed in the restaurant and on the terrace, but forget about the lounge or other public areas. And if you were hoping to leave your dog alone in the room for a bit, think again. This restriction means you'll be tethered to your pup, limiting your freedom to explore. The weight limit is non-existent, which is a rare plus, but you're capped at two dogs per room.
On the upside, there are some grassy areas for bathroom breaks, but don't expect a dedicated dog park or garden. Nearby parks are a plus, but the lack of on-site dog-friendly spaces is a letdown. No dog-walking or sitting services are offered, so flexibility is out the window. The $200 damage deposit is steep, adding to the upfront cost and making this an expensive stay for what you get.
In summary, unless you're set on staying in Palm Springs and have deep pockets, you might want to look elsewhere for a more welcoming and cost-effective dog-friendly experience.
