No Weight LimitMercure Exeter Southgate Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. If you're planning a stay with your four-legged friend, brace yourself for some limitations. Dogs are welcome in the lounge and public areas, but forget about dining with them in the restaurant or enjoying the terrace together. The hotel does allow dogs to stay alone in the room, which is a relief for those moments when you need to step out without your canine companion.
The hotel charges £15 per night per dog, which isn't outrageous, but given the lack of amenities like dog beds or bowls, it feels a bit steep. You won't find any dedicated dog spaces or gardens on-site, so be prepared to venture out for walks. Luckily, there are public green spaces nearby, which is a saving grace in this scenario.
On the service front, don't expect much. There's no dog-walking or sitting services, and the staff isn't specifically trained to handle dogs. The absence of weight limits is a plus, allowing larger breeds to stay without hassle. However, the overall vibe is more tolerant than welcoming, so don't expect any special treatment for your furry friend.
In summary, while the Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel allows dogs, the experience is far from exceptional. If you're looking for a truly dog friendly stay, you might want to explore other options.
