Hotel Rialto Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Rialto received an acceptable C Roch Rank. With only ten dog friendly rooms, availability is tight, so booking ahead is a must. Dogs are restricted to rooms, which means no lounging in the bar or restaurant with your furry friend. The hotel does allow dogs to stay alone in the room, a significant convenience for those planning solo outings.
Amenities are basic but cover the essentials: dog beds, food/water bowls, and poop bags are provided. However, don't expect any free treats or toys. The $50 per stay fee is reasonable, but the 40-pound weight limit is a letdown, excluding popular breeds like Labradors. On the plus side, there's no limit on the number of dogs per room, which is great for multi-dog families.
Location-wise, the hotel scores points with Centennial Square Park just across the street, offering a convenient spot for walks. While there's no on-site garden or dedicated dog space, the proximity to green space is a bonus. The hotel also provides guidance on dog walk routes and can arrange dog-walking services, adding flexibility to your stay.
In summary, Hotel Rialto offers a decent stay for dog owners, but the weight restriction and limited dog friendly areas are notable drawbacks. It's a practical choice if you're okay with the limitations and plan to explore the nearby park.
This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
