Fort Garry Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Fort Garry Hotel holds a failing F Roch Rank, though there is more warmth here for dog owners than that grade suggests. Staff are trained for canine guests, which means you are not simply tolerated but genuinely looked after from the moment you arrive with your dog. Your dog is welcome on the terrace and patio and in the lounge, so you are not confined to your room between outings, and the surrounding green spaces and parks give you somewhere proper to stretch your dog's legs. Staff will offer guidance on walking routes nearby, a small touch that saves you wandering blind in an unfamiliar city. Cat owners travelling with dogs will also find cats accepted, and the hotel shares its pet policy with you before you book, so there are no unpleasant surprises at check-in.
Day to day, the arrangements are straightforward if not lavish. There is a dog fee of $25 CAD per pet, per day, which is a real cost to factor into a longer stay given how little in the way of extras it appears to buy you, no dog bed, no bowls, no treats provided as part of it. On the plus side, there is no damage deposit demanded, which softens the sting of that daily charge somewhat. You may bring up to two dogs per room, useful if you travel with a pair, though a weight or size limit of 50 lbs applies, so larger breeds will not be accommodated here. The pet policy being shared upfront means you can plan around these figures rather than discovering them at the desk, which is a small but genuine courtesy to the organised traveller.
The restrictions are worth weighing carefully before you book. Only some rooms are dog friendly, not all, so you will need to confirm your room type rather than assume any door will do. Your dog may not be left alone in the room, which means your days will need to be planned around companionship rather than independent excursions, a real limitation if you had hoped to leave your dog resting while you explored the city. There is no dog wash area, no dog walking or sitting service, no grooming, no toys and no dog friendly bar or restaurant access, so this is not a stay built around pampering. This suits the owner of a smaller, well behaved dog who wants a sociable terrace and lounge, nearby walking routes, and trained staff, but not the owner of a larger dog or one who needs to leave their dog unattended during the day.
