Dog FoodThe Ameswell Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Ameswell Hotel holds an A Roch Rank, and it earns it. Dogs are part of everyday life here rather than an afterthought. They are welcome in the hotel's public spaces, on the terrace, and on the outdoor patio at Roger, the hotel's restaurant, which has its own dog menu. Your dog can come into the Flyby café area too, so a morning coffee does not mean leaving anyone behind. Dog friendly rooms are designated, so mention your dog when you book, and dogs cannot be left alone in the room, so plan your day around them.
Outside, the whole lawn is dog friendly, and the hotel sits right beside the Stevens Creek Trail, with staff happy to point you towards the best walks. Dogs are welcomed with proper bowls, treats and a toy. There are no dog beds, so bring your own. The hotel also throws a real party for dogs every year: Barks & Boos, with a pet parade, a costume contest, and adoptable dogs from Pets in Need, a local rescue charity the hotel supports.
Up to two dogs can stay per room, each up to 75 lb, for a fee of $75 per stay, and there is no damage deposit. There is no dog walking or dog sitting service, so you will be looking after your dog yourself, but with a trail on the doorstep that is no hardship.
