No Weight LimitChicago Athletic Association Dog Friendly Review
Chicago Athletic Association holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This place is a decent choice for dog owners, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Most rooms welcome your four-legged friends, which is a plus, but don't expect to bring them to the bar, restaurant, or terrace. Dogs can stay in the room alone, which is a major convenience for those wanting to explore the city without their canine companion.
The hotel provides the basics like food and water bowls, but you'll need to bring your own dog bed. Free treats are a nice touch, but don't expect any dog-walking or sitting services. The nearby parks offer good walking options, which is a relief in a bustling city like Chicago. However, the lack of an on-site garden or dedicated dog space is a downside.
The best part? Dogs stay for free, which is a rare and significant perk. There's no weight limit, but you're capped at two dogs per room. Just remember to sign a pet waiver at check-in. Overall, while the hotel has some limitations, the free stay and room-alone policy make it a solid option for dog owners visiting Chicago.
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.
