No Weight LimitHôtel-Musée Premières Nations Dog Friendly Review
Hôtel-Musée Premières Nations holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and for a dog owner weighing up where to stay, that middle-ground standing feels roughly right given what is on offer. This is a hotel that takes the trouble to share its pet policy before you even book, which means you can plan your trip knowing exactly where your dog stands rather than discovering the rules on arrival. Most rooms here are dog friendly, and there is no weight or size limit, so whether you are travelling with a small terrier or a large shepherd, you should not find yourself turned away or shunted into a narrow selection of rooms. The terrace and patio are open to dogs, and there is a garden your dog may use, while green spaces and parks nearby give you somewhere further afield to stretch your dog's legs beyond the hotel grounds itself.
Once you are settled in, the practical side of the stay is handled with a reasonable amount of care. Your room comes with a dog bed, along with real food and water bowls rather than anything makeshift, and the hotel provides free treats, all of which take some of the packing burden off your shoulders. You may leave your dog alone in the room, which matters if you need to slip out for dinner or an appointment without your dog in tow. The hotel allows one dog per room, so this is not the place for owners travelling with a pair. There is a dog fee of $70 per room, and on top of that a refundable damage deposit of $200 is charged, which is a meaningful sum to have tied up during your stay even though it should return to you assuming no damage occurs.
Set against those conveniences, the restrictions are worth weighing carefully. Your dog cannot join you in the bar, the restaurant or the lounge, so any meals or drinks on site will mean leaving your dog behind in the room. There is no dedicated dog space and no dog wash or shower area, so if your dog gets muddy on a walk in the nearby green spaces, you will be managing that clean-up yourself with nothing on hand from the hotel, and no poop bags are supplied for those walks either. The $70 fee and $200 deposit together are a fair outlay for the kit and access you do get, though not an insignificant one. This stay suits an owner with a single, calm dog who is happy to self-manage walks and clean-up and does not need bar or restaurant access; owners with multiple dogs or those wanting on-site grooming or dog-sitting should look elsewhere.
