Staybridge Suites Dog Friendly Review
Staybridge Suites holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a pity given a few genuine strengths for dog owners. Dogs are welcome on the patio, giving your dog a dedicated outdoor space, and there is no weight or size limit, so dogs of any size may stay. The hotel also shares its pet policy before booking, and cats are welcome too, which suits mixed-pet households. Nearby, there is no park, but the Welland Canal trail offers a great path with grassy areas for walking your dog.
Day to day, your dog can join you on the patio, and you can walk together along the nearby Welland Canal trail rather than relying on hotel grounds. There is no damage deposit, though a small authorisation is taken at check-in for possible incidentals, and the dog fee is $35 per reservation, which is a fair charge for the stay. You may leave your dog alone in the room when you are off property, provided the hotel can reach you should he cause a disturbance. Up to two dogs are permitted per room.
The main restriction is that only some rooms take dogs, so you will need to confirm in advance that your room can accommodate your dog. The hotel does not provide a dog bed, bowls, dog food, treats or poop bags, and there is no dog wash area, grooming, sitting service or toys on offer. Dogs are not allowed in the bar, restaurant or lounge, and there is no garden for dogs to use. This stay suits an owner with a well behaved, flexible dog who is happy to walk off site and bring along their own supplies, but owners seeking on-site dog amenities, dog friendly dining or extra services should look elsewhere.
