No Weight LimitThe Colony Palms Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Colony Palms Hotel scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. Let's dive into why this place falls short for dog owners. First off, the $150 per pet fee is steep, especially considering the limited amenities. You get a welcome dog bag with treats and a tennis ball, but that's about it. No dog beds are provided, so pack your own essentials.
Dogs are allowed in the bar and restaurant, which is a plus, but they're banned from the pool area. There's a garden for your dog, though no dedicated dog space, and no parks close by, so plan your walks.
The hotel allows two dogs per room with no weight restrictions, which is good news for those with larger breeds. However, dogs can't be left alone in the room, adding a layer of hassle for owners wanting to explore without their four-legged friends. The staff seems to tolerate rather than welcome dogs, which doesn't help the overall vibe.
In summary, the high fees and lack of amenities make this hotel a tough sell for dog owners. If you're planning a stay in Palm Springs with your canine companion, you might want to look elsewhere for a more welcoming and cost-effective experience.
