No Weight LimitKimpton Gray Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Kimpton Gray Hotel holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This spot is a solid choice for dog owners looking for a comfortable stay in the heart of the city. Most rooms welcome your four-legged friends, making availability a breeze. However, don't expect to bring your dog to the bar, restaurant, or terrace, these areas are off-limits. The good news is that dogs can stay in the room on their own, which is a huge convenience for those wanting to explore Chicago without their canine companion in tow.
The hotel provides the essentials like dog beds and bowls, and even throws in free treats, which is a nice touch. While there's no on-site garden, the nearby public green spaces offer decent walking options. The staff offer guidance on dog walk routes, which is a thoughtful service for newcomers to the area.
There are no weight restrictions, so even larger breeds like Labradors are welcome. However, there's a limit of one dog per room, which might be a downside for those traveling with multiple pets.
In summary, Kimpton Gray Hotel offers a good balance of amenities and convenience for dog owners, with the added bonus of no extra fees for your furry friend. It's a reliable choice for a city stay with your dog.
