Santa Monica Proper Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Santa Monica Proper Hotel holds a respectable B Roch Rank, and it is easy to see why dog owners rate it highly. Most of its rooms allow dogs, and the welcome extends well beyond the bedroom, with dogs invited into the bar, the lounge and all open spaces aside from the rooftop pool. There is even a dedicated dog space for your dog to settle into. The hotel sits in a genuinely dog friendly part of Los Angeles, with a park directly north of the property and plenty of green spaces besides, so there is no shortage of places to stretch your dog's legs beyond the hotel itself.
Day to day, the practicalities are handled thoughtfully. A dog bed is provided once you make a reservation, and the hotel supplies dog treats and bowls, though it does not supply dog food, so you will need to bring your dog's own. Your dog is welcome in the lobby level restaurant, Palma or Calabra, though some seating there cannot accommodate pets. For walks, staff will point you toward the local map, noting the good walks along the beach or around town. There is a 100 dollar dog fee for the stay, but no damage deposit is taken specifically for pets, which keeps the arrangement simple and the upfront cost contained to a single, known figure.
The main restriction to plan around is a weight or size limit, though the hotel notes it can be flexible on this point, so it is worth checking ahead if your dog is larger. The hotel does not provide a dog wash area, dog toys, grooming arrangements, a sitter service or poop bags, and there is no garden or terrace for dogs to use, so outdoor time depends on the nearby park and beach walks rather than anything on site. This makes Santa Monica Proper Hotel a strong choice for an owner with a smaller, well mannered dog who enjoys city and beach walks and wants a sociable stay with run of the hotel's communal spaces. Owners of larger dogs, or those wanting on-site grooming or a private garden, should look elsewhere.
