Kimpton Sawyer Hotel Dog Friendly Review

Kimpton Sawyer Hotel scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. While most rooms are dog friendly, the welcome is lukewarm at best. Dogs are restricted to rooms, with no access to the bar, restaurant, or patio, which can be a real hassle if you want to enjoy the hotel's amenities without leaving your four-legged friend behind. The inability to leave dogs alone in the room adds another layer of inconvenience, making it tough for solo travelers or those looking to explore the city freely.

On the plus side, dogs stay for free, which is a rare perk and a significant saving. However, the lack of essential amenities like dog beds or bowls means you'll need to pack your own. The absence of a garden or dedicated dog space on-site is a letdown, especially in a city setting where green spaces are a premium. Thankfully, there are public parks nearby, offering some relief for those necessary walks.

The hotel's policy is refreshingly inclusive regarding size, welcoming any dog that can fit through the doors and into the elevators. This is a breath of fresh air compared to places with restrictive weight limits. However, the lack of additional services like dog walking or sitting means you'll need to plan your outings carefully.

In summary, while the free stay is a highlight, the overall experience is marred by restrictions and a lack of amenities. Consider this hotel if you're on a budget and don't mind the limitations, but be prepared for some logistical challenges.

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.
