Scenic Hotel Marlborough Dog Friendly Review
Scenic Hotel Marlborough holds a failing F Roch Rank, despite a few genuine points in its favour for dog owners. The Taylor River walk is just two blocks away, and there are several gardens nearby, including one directly opposite the hotel, giving you plenty of options for stretching your dog's legs. The hotel is in town, so most things are within walking distance, barring sightseeing destinations such as the airport or wineries. There is also no weight or size limit on dogs staying with you.
In the room, your dog can settle into a provided dog bed, or you may bring his own from home, along with bowls for food and water. There is no damage deposit required, and the dog fee is $25 per dog per night. Up to two dogs are permitted per room. Your dog stays with you in the room throughout the visit, as the hotel keeps things simple rather than offering a wider run of dog spaces around the property.
There are some real limits to bear in mind. Only two rooms in the hotel are dog friendly, so availability depends entirely on your dates, and you should check ahead before booking. Dogs cannot be left unattended in the room at any point during your stay. The hotel also does not allow dogs in the bar, restaurant, terrace or lounge, and there is no garden or dedicated dog space for them to use freely. This stay suits an owner with a well behaved, companionable dog who is happy to stay by your side throughout the visit and who you do not need to leave alone. Owners who need to step out without their dog, or who want access to shared indoor or outdoor hotel spaces with their dog in tow, should look elsewhere.
