Dog WalkingThe Betsy Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Betsy Hotel holds a respectable B Roch Rank. While most rooms welcome dogs, the hefty $150 pet fee per stay is a bit steep. Dogs are allowed on the terrace and in public areas, but not in the bar or restaurant, which can be a hassle if you want to dine with your furry friend. Fortunately, dogs can stay alone in the room, offering some flexibility.
The hotel lacks a dedicated dog space or garden, but nearby public parks provide decent walking options. Dog walking can be arranged, though there is no dog-sitting service. The weight limit of 40 pounds is restrictive, excluding popular breeds like Labradors, which is a significant downside for many dog owners.
On the plus side, the presence of the hotel's Canine Executive Officers, Betsy and Rosa, adds a charming touch. However, the lack of additional perks or services makes the high pet fee feel less justified. Overall, while The Betsy Hotel offers a decent stay for smaller dogs, the limitations and costs may deter some owners.
