The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites Dog Friendly Review
The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. If you're planning a stay with your furry friend, brace yourself for some limitations. Dogs are only allowed on the 4th floor, and they can't join you in the bar, restaurant, or lounge. This means your canine companion will miss out on much of the hotel's social scene. Plus, leaving your dog alone in the room isn't an option, which can be a real hassle if you want to explore the city without them.
Amenities for dogs are sparse here. Don't expect any dog beds or bowls, so pack your own essentials. On the plus side, the hotel does offer guidance on nearby walking routes, which is a small consolation given the lack of on-site dog spaces. The nearby public green spaces are a saving grace, offering a chance for your dog to stretch their legs.
The $40 per stay fee isn't outrageous, but considering the limited amenities and restrictions, it doesn't feel like great value. There's no weight limit, which is a relief for owners of larger breeds, but the overall experience is far from welcoming. If you're looking for a truly dog friendly stay, you might want to look elsewhere.
