Penny's Motel Dog Friendly Review
Penny's Motel is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it missed one of our minimum requirements: dogs are not provided with food and water bowls. That caps the rank at F.
Most rooms welcome dogs, one dog to a room, and dogs are welcome in the terrace. There is no weight limit, so a big dog is treated the same as a small one. The hotel provides free treats. Green spaces and parks are close by, with staff on hand to point you to the good walks.
The dog fee is $35+tax per night. No dog bed, toys or poo bags are provided, there is no garden or dedicated dog space on site, there is no dog walking or sitting service, dogs cannot be left alone in the room, and staff have not had formal training for canine guests. Bring your own bowls and it does the job, and certification needs only that gap closed.
