The Emily Morgan Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Emily Morgan Hotel carries a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is worth bearing in mind before you settle on it for a trip with your dog. That said, there is genuine warmth here for canine guests: most rooms are dog friendly, and dogs are welcome to join you in the lounge rather than being confined upstairs. The hotel sits near green spaces and parks, so you will not struggle to find somewhere to stretch your dog's legs, and staff are happy to offer guidance on local walking routes, which is a nice touch if you are unfamiliar with the area. Cats are also welcome to stay, so multi-pet households are not turned away. The hotel is upfront about its pet policy before you book, which means no unpleasant surprises on arrival.
Day to day, you will find some small comforts laid on: free treats are provided for your dog, a nice welcoming gesture even if the practical kit stops there. Your dog may be left alone in the room, which gives you the freedom to head out for a meal or explore without arranging alternative care, though you will want to weigh that against your own dog's temperament. There is a $50 dog fee to budget for, and on top of that a refundable damage deposit of $60 per night, which adds up considerably over a longer stay even though you should get it back if all goes well. You are permitted up to two dogs per room, which suits owners travelling with a pair rather than a larger pack.
The real limitations start with a weight restriction of 50 lbs, so larger breeds will not be able to stay here regardless of temperament, which is a significant drawback for owners of bigger dogs. There is no bar, restaurant or terrace access for dogs, no garden or dedicated dog space to use, and no dog wash area, bowls, bed, toys or food available on site, so you will need to bring everything yourself. There is no dog-walking or dog-sitting service, no poop bags provided, no grooming, and no staff specifically trained for canine guests, so this is very much a self-sufficient stay rather than a pampered one. Given the combination of fees, deposits and size caps against a fairly bare-bones offering, this hotel suits an owner with a small, calm, well-behaved dog who mainly wants a comfortable base near some greenery, rather than anyone hoping for dedicated pet facilities or with a larger dog.
