The Berkman
Rochester, United States · 4 Star Hotel
The Berkman Dog Friendly Review
The Berkman is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it missed two of our minimum requirements: dogs are not provided with food and water bowls, and dogs are not welcome in the bar, the lounge or the restaurant. That caps the rank at F.
Most rooms welcome dogs and there is a dedicated dog space on site. There is no weight limit, and dogs can be left alone in the room, which makes an evening out straightforward.
The dog fee is $150 per stay. No dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags are provided, there is no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not had formal training for canine guests. This is a hotel that accepts dogs rather than one built around them, and if that changes, certification is open.

The Berkman With Your Dog · Good To Know
Is The Berkman dog friendly?
No. The Berkman allows dogs, but being allowed to bring a dog and being genuinely dog friendly are not the same thing. We assessed it against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard and it failed to meet even our minimum requirements, so it is not certified and holds our lowest rating. The review above explains where it falls short.
Is there a pet fee at The Berkman?
Yes. The Berkman charges a pet fee of $150 per stay. There is no additional deposit. It is always worth confirming the current pet fee when you book, as charges can change from time to time.
Is there a weight limit for dogs at The Berkman?
No. The Berkman has no weight limit, so dogs of any size can stay.
Can I leave my dog alone in the room at The Berkman?
Yes. Dogs may be left unattended in the room at The Berkman. We would still suggest letting reception know and making sure your dog is calm and settled before you head out, so housekeeping and other guests are never caught by surprise.
Are cats welcome at The Berkman too?
Yes, The Berkman allows cats as well as dogs. It is not certified under the Roch Dog Friendly Standard though, so confirm the current cat policy with the hotel directly before you book.
