Hotel Indigo Lower East Side New York Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Indigo Lower East Side New York holds a failing F Roch Rank, which may seem at odds with some genuinely useful basics for travelling dog owners. Most rooms here are dog friendly, with no weight or size limit, so whether you travel with a small terrier or a sizeable retriever, you shouldn't be turned away at check-in. Cats are also welcome, which hints at a general openness to animals that some competitors lack. The hotel sits within reach of green spaces and parks, and staff are able to offer guidance on walking routes, which is a small but genuinely helpful touch for anyone unfamiliar with the Lower East Side and keen to find somewhere decent to stretch their dog's legs each morning and evening.
Once you're settled in, the practicalities are a mixed bag. You're able to leave your dog alone in the room, which gives you some flexibility if you need to step out without your companion, though it also means the hotel is relying on you to judge whether your dog is settled enough to be left. A refundable deposit of $150 per night, up to $750, is charged on top of your stay, which the hotel takes from every guest whether or not they bring a dog. Then there's the $75 dog fee, which is a fairly steep outlay given that the ledger ties no specific extras, such as bowls, bedding or treats, to that charge, so you should treat it as simply the cost of bringing your dog rather than a fee that buys you anything tangible.
The drawbacks are worth weighing carefully before you book. There is no dog bed, no food or water bowls, no dog food for sale and no treats provided, so you'll need to pack all the basics yourself. Dogs are not welcome in the bar, restaurant, lounge or on any terrace or patio, there is no garden or dedicated dog space, and there's no dog wash area, grooming, dog-walking or dog-sitting service, poop bags, toys or staff specifically trained for canine guests. No dog friendly activities, events, awards or charity ties are recorded, and there's no free stay for dogs, emergency vet number, or pet policy shared ahead of booking. This stay suits an organised owner with a single, well behaved dog who's happy to self-cater on supplies and doesn't expect communal dog spaces, rather than anyone hoping for a full-service, dog-pampering hotel experience.”
