Delta Hotels Richmond Downtown Dog Friendly Review
Delta Hotels Richmond Downtown holds a failing F Roch Rank. Despite that low mark, there is genuine value here for a dog owner willing to look past the gaps: the hotel is close to nice walking trails, such as Belle Isle, which you are welcome to explore with your dog. This gives any stay a built in reason to get outside and let your dog stretch its legs in a genuinely pleasant setting.
Day to day, the practicalities are fairly simple. Your dog may be left alone in the room, provided he is secured in a crate while unattended, which suits a settled dog but means an anxious one will need other arrangements. The hotel charges a dog fee of $75 for the stay, which is on the steep side given how little else is laid on, though there is no damage deposit to add to that cost. Only one dog is permitted per room, and beyond the room itself and the nearby trails, there is little else offered in terms of space or amenity for your dog to use.
The drawbacks are considerable. A weight limit applies, with the hotel only accepting pets up to 50 lbs, so larger dogs are not able to stay. There is no garden, no dedicated dog space and no dog wash area, and dogs are not allowed in the bar, restaurant, lounge or on the terrace, which narrows where you and your dog can actually spend time together on site. The hotel does not provide a dog bed, bowls, food, treats or poop bags, nor does it offer a dog-walking service, sitting arrangements or grooming. This stay suits an owner with a single, smaller, crate trained dog who mainly wants a base near good walking trails and is prepared to bring everything else themselves. Owners with a larger dog, or one that cannot settle alone, or who expect any on-site dog amenities, should look elsewhere.
