No Weight LimitKimpton Sawyer Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Kimpton Sawyer Hotel in Sacramento holds an excellent A Roch Rank, and it is easy to see why once you look at what your dog actually gains here. Your dog stays completely free of charge, which is a genuine rarity and means you are not paying a penny extra regardless of how long you stay. There is no weight or size limit, so whether you travel with a tiny terrier or a towering Great Dane, the hotel will welcome you both without question. Most rooms are dog friendly, and the hotel shares its pet policy before you book, letting you plan with confidence rather than crossing your fingers at check in. A dedicated dog space on site, combined with nearby green spaces and parks, means your dog has somewhere purposeful to stretch its legs from the moment you arrive.
Inside your room you will find a proper dog bed and real food and water bowls waiting, so your dog can settle in comfortably without you having to lug kit from home. Free treats are provided as well, adding a small but welcome touch that rounds out the in room offering. Beyond the room, the hotel provides a dog walking service and a dog sitting service, giving you genuine flexibility if you want to explore Sacramento on your own for a few hours. You are also free to leave your dog alone in the room should you prefer. Guidance on walking routes is available, which helps you discover the nearby parks and green spaces without aimless wandering. Your dog is welcome on the terrace and in the lounge, so you can relax together in shared spaces rather than being confined to your room all evening.
A refundable damage deposit is charged, which is worth noting, though its sting is softened by the fact that your dog stays entirely free and the deposit comes back to you provided nothing goes awry. Your dog cannot join you in the restaurant or the bar, so mealtimes and evening drinks will mean leaving your dog in the room or using the sitting service. There is no dog wash or shower area on site, which is a drawback if your dog finds mud on one of those nearby walks. Grooming is not available either, nor are dog toys, so you will need to pack your own entertainment. The hotel does host dog friendly events from time to time, which adds a sociable dimension you will not find everywhere. This stay suits owners of any sized dog who want a genuinely free, well equipped base in Sacramento, but if you need your dog beside you at dinner, you should look elsewhere.
