Inn at the Forks Dog Friendly Review
Inn at the Forks holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, and it is worth understanding why before you pack your dog's lead. There are green spaces and parks nearby, which means you will have somewhere pleasant to walk your dog before and after settling into your room, and with most rooms open to dogs and no weight or size limit, you are not going to be turned away because your companion is a larger breed. That flexibility on size is a genuine relief for owners of bigger dogs who often find themselves excluded elsewhere. The setting near the Forks gives you plenty of outdoor options within easy reach, which goes some way to making up for the hotel's shortcomings elsewhere, though it does not erase the reasons behind that ranking.
Once you arrive, your dog will find a bed waiting along with proper food and water bowls, so you will not need to carry your own kit for basic comfort. That said, the hotel charges CAD 35 per pet, per day, which is a steep daily add-on given how little else is bundled with the room, and you should factor that into the total cost of even a short stay. A refundable damage deposit is also charged, which protects the hotel but means your upfront costs will be higher than the room rate alone suggests. Only one dog per room is permitted, so this is not the place for owners travelling with multiple dogs. You will also need to plan your day around your dog rather than leaving it to its own devices in the room.
The most significant restriction is that dogs may not be left alone in the room, which means any outing without your dog needs proper planning, whether that means taking it with you or arranging care elsewhere, since no dog-sitting or dog-walking service is offered here. There is no dog wash area, no dog food for sale, no free treats, no poop bags provided and no grooming, so you will need to bring or source all of that yourself. Dogs are not welcome in the bar, restaurant, lounge or on any terrace or patio, and there is no garden or dedicated dog space, which limits where you can relax together on site. This stay suits an owner with a single, well behaved dog who mainly wants a comfortable base near green spaces and is happy to handle every other need independently. Owners wanting facilities, extra services or the flexibility to leave their dog briefly should look elsewhere.
