Banff, Canada · 4 Star Hotel

D Roch Rank

Fox Hotel and Suites Dog Friendly Review

Fox Hotel and Suites scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. If you're planning a trip with your furry friend, brace yourself for some limitations. Dogs are only allowed on the terrace, which means you'll be spending most of your time in the room if you want to hang out with your pup. Leaving your dog alone in the room isn't an option, adding a layer of hassle for those hoping to explore Banff's attractions without their canine companion.

The hotel charges a $25 per night fee per dog, which isn't too steep, but considering the lack of amenities like dog beds or bowls, it feels like you're paying for the privilege of having your dog stay rather than any real service. On the plus side, the hotel is close to public green spaces, which is a relief for those necessary walks. However, don't expect any on-site gardens or dedicated dog areas.

For those needing extra help, the hotel doesn't offer dog-walking or sitting services, but they do point you to Child Care Banff for pet-sitting needs. This lack of in-house services might be a deal-breaker for some. With a two-dog limit per room and no weight restrictions, it's somewhat accommodating, but the overall experience feels more like tolerance than a warm welcome.

In summary, while Fox Hotel and Suites offers a place for your dog to stay, the experience is far from seamless. If you're looking for a truly dog friendly experience, you might want to explore other options.
