Fairmont Austin Dog Friendly Review
Fairmont Austin holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, a downtown tower that takes small dogs into most of its rooms but not into its public spaces. The pet policy is shared before you book, there is no damage deposit, and cats are welcome too. For an owner of a small dog who mainly needs a comfortable room in the city, the terms are clear and simple to plan around.
Your dog is given a dog amenity on arrival, with a dog bed and a water bowl, and the hotel supplies poop bags. The fee is a one-time $100, and there is nothing more to pay unless there is damage. There is no dog food for sale, no treats and no toys, so bring your dog's food and anything else it needs from home.
The weight limit is 25 lbs and up to two dogs may share a room, so larger dogs are ruled out. Dogs cannot go into the restaurants, bars or lounge areas, and your dog may not be left alone in the room, while the hotel offers no dog walking, sitting or grooming of its own. This suits an owner with a small dog who wants it close at all times and is happy to plan the day around that.
