El Encanto Dog Friendly Review
El Encanto is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it missed one of our minimum requirements: dogs are not welcome in the bar, the lounge or the restaurant. That caps the rank at F.
Most rooms welcome dogs, with up to two dogs to a room, and dogs are welcome in the terrace. There is no weight limit, so a big dog is treated the same as a small one. The hotel provides a dog bed, free treats and toys.
The dog fee is $175 per pet. No poo bags is provided, there is no garden or dedicated dog space on site, there is no dog walking or sitting service, dogs cannot be left alone in the room, and staff have not had formal training for canine guests. Dogs are kept out of the bar and the lounge, and that is what keeps this hotel out of certification.
