No Weight LimitKimpton Canary Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Kimpton Canary Hotel has earned an awesome A Roch Rank. This place is a solid choice for dog owners looking to enjoy Santa Barbara with their furry friends. Most rooms are dog friendly, so availability shouldn't be a hassle. Dogs are welcome in the lounge and public areas, but don't expect to bring them along to the bar or restaurant. The real kicker? Dogs can stay in the room on their own, giving you the freedom to explore the city without worry.
The hotel provides essentials like dog beds and bowls, and even throws in free treats, which is a thoughtful gesture. While there's no on-site garden, the nearby public green spaces make up for it, offering plenty of opportunities for daily walks to keep your dog active and happy. Dog walking and sitting can also be arranged, which is an added plus.
Even better, dogs stay for free, which is a rare and significant perk. There's no weight limit, making it a great option for owners of larger dogs. The lack of a damage deposit is another bonus, reducing upfront costs and making the stay more affordable. Overall, Kimpton Canary Hotel offers a superb experience for dog owners. It's a top pick for those visiting Santa Barbara with their canine companions.
