No Weight LimitKimpton Riverplace Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Kimpton Riverplace Hotel holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This spot is a solid choice for dog owners, with most rooms welcoming your four-legged friends. However, don't expect to bring your dog to the bar or restaurant, those areas are off-limits. The terrace and lounge are more welcoming, offering a bit of freedom for your canine companion. A standout feature is the hotel's policy allowing dogs to stay for free, which is a rare and significant perk.
The hotel provides a dog bed, bowls and free treats, though no dog food. The nearby public green spaces are a plus, making it easy to get your dog some exercise. The absence of a dedicated dog area on-site is a minor drawback, but the proximity to parks compensates for this.
The hotel doesn't impose a weight limit, which is great news for owners of larger breeds like Golden Retrievers. However, leaving your dog alone in the room requires a crate or kennel, which can be a hassle. Fortunately, the front desk offers pet sitting, adding a layer of convenience. No extra fees or deposits are required, which is a breath of fresh air compared to many other places.
Overall, Kimpton Riverplace Hotel offers a decent experience for dog owners, with a few limitations. The free stay for dogs and helpful staff make it a worthwhile option, especially if you're looking to explore Portland with your canine companion.
