Dog WalkingDetroit Foundation Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Detroit Foundation Hotel holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This spot is a solid choice for dog owners, with most rooms welcoming your furry friends. Dogs are allowed in all areas except the Apparatus Room dining room, which is a bit of a letdown if you were hoping for a full dining experience with your pup. However, the welcoming vibe throughout the rest of the hotel makes up for it.
The $75 per stay fee is reasonable, especially considering the free treats available at the front desk. A dog bed and bowls are provided. The nearby river walk is a fantastic perk for those who love a scenic stroll with their canine companion. Unfortunately, there's no on-site garden or dedicated dog space, which could be a downside for those staying in the city center.
A major plus is that dogs can stay in the room on their own, offering flexibility for owners who want to explore the city without their four-legged friend. However, the lack of a dog-sitting service might be a hassle for some. Overall, this hotel offers a decent stay for dog owners, with a few areas for improvement.
