OTL Gouverneur Saguenay Dog Friendly Review
OTL Gouverneur Saguenay scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. This hotel offers a limited dog friendly experience, with only a few rooms available for canine companions. Dogs are restricted to the rooms, as they aren't welcome in the bar, restaurant, or any public areas, which can be a hassle for those wanting to enjoy the hotel's amenities without leaving their dog behind. Unfortunately, dogs cannot be left alone in the rooms, adding to the inconvenience for owners who might want to use the hotels amentities during their stay.
The hotel charges a steep $35 per night per dog, which feels excessive given the lack of amenities provided. There's no garden or dedicated dog space on-site, and with a weight limit of 45 pounds, larger breeds like Labradors are excluded, limiting the hotel's true dog-friendliness. The two-dog per room limit is reasonable, but the overall restrictions make it less appealing for dog owners.
On the plus side, the hotel does provide bowls, free treats and poop bags, and the staff is trained to deal with dogs, which shows some level of care. However, the absence of nearby parks or green spaces means you'll need to plan your dog's exercise elsewhere. The $100 damage deposit adds to the upfront cost, making it a pricey stay without much return in terms of dog friendly perks.
In summary, OTL Gouverneur Saguenay falls short in providing a welcoming environment for dogs and their owners. The high fees and restrictive policies make it a less attractive option for those traveling with their canine companions.
