No Weight LimitBernardus Lodge & Spa Dog Friendly Review
Bernardus Lodge & Spa holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This place is a solid choice for dog owners looking for a welcoming stay. With all rooms being dog friendly, you won't have to worry about availability. Dogs are welcome in the bar, restaurant patio, and public areas, which is a refreshing change from the usual restrictions. However, dogs can't be left alone in the rooms, which could be a hassle if you plan on exploring without your furry friend.
The lodge provides essential amenities like dog beds and bowls, but don't expect any free treats or dog food. The dedicated dog area on-site is a major plus, and the nearby Garland Ranch Regional Park offers excellent walking opportunities. Unfortunately, there's no dog-walking or sitting services, so you'll need to plan your outings accordingly.
The $200 per stay fee is on the steep side, especially since there are no extra perks like free treats or dog-sitting services. On the bright side, there's no weight limit or restriction on the number of dogs per room, making it a great option for owners with multiple or larger dogs.
Overall, Bernardus Lodge & Spa offers a decent dog friendly experience, but the high fee and lack of certain conveniences might make you think twice. If you're looking for a place where your dog can roam freely and enjoy the surroundings, this could be a good fit.
This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
