Sheraton Gateway Hotel in Toronto Airport

Sheraton Gateway Hotel in Toronto Airport Dog Friendly Review

Sheraton Gateway Hotel in Toronto Airport holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and for dog owners passing through Mississauga it offers a genuinely welcoming base. Most rooms here are open to dogs, and there is no weight or size limit, so you needn't fret about whether your dog qualifies before you book. The hotel shares its pet policy with you before you commit to a stay, which takes the guesswork out of planning your trip. There is a garden your dog can use and a dedicated dog space set aside for canine guests, both of which make this feel like a hotel that has genuinely thought about dogs rather than merely tolerating them. Cats are welcome too, so if you're travelling with more than one type of companion animal, that flexibility will matter to you.

Once you're settled in, the practical side of the stay holds up well. Your room comes with a proper dog bed and real food and water bowls, so you won't need to pack your own kit for the trip. You may leave your dog alone in the room, which is a real convenience if you need to step out for meetings, meals, or simply a walk of your own without your dog in tow. There is no damage deposit required, easing the financial pressure that many dog owners feel when checking in elsewhere. The dog fee is $125 per stay, and set against the free use of the garden and dedicated dog space, the in-room bed and bowls, and the flexibility to leave your dog unaccompanied, it feels like reasonable value rather than a charge for very little.

Where this hotel falls short is in the shared spaces you might expect to bring your dog along to. Dogs are not welcome in the bar, restaurant, terrace, or lounge, so any meals or drinks during your stay will mean leaving your dog behind in the room. There is no dog wash or shower area, so a muddy walk means dealing with mess yourself rather than relying on hotel facilities. You won't find staff trained specifically for canine guests, dog friendly activities or events, a walking or sitting service, or poop bags provided, and there's no dog food or treats for sale either, so you'll need to arrive prepared for all of that yourself. This stay suits an owner with a well behaved, self sufficient dog who is comfortable being left in the room and who doesn't need extras like grooming or organised activities. Owners hoping to dine or socialise with their dog nearby, or who rely on hotel provided walking and sitting support, should look elsewhere.
