Onsite GardenThe Marlton Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Marlton Hotel holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog friendliness, and it earns that mark through a genuinely open approach to dogs rather than a token one. The hotel says it generally accepts dogs anywhere on the property, which means the terrace, the lounge and a garden are all open to your dog, and most rooms are available for dogs too. Beyond the building itself, Washington Square Park's dog park is close by, and the Hudson River offers a jogging path the hotel suggests for walks, alongside a stroll on the Highline. For an owner who wants a dog included in the stay rather than tolerated, this is a strong starting point.
Day to day, the hotel will provide bowls for food and water, which covers the basics of settling in. Dogs stay free of charge, with no dog fee and no damage deposit required, which makes the practical cost of travelling with a dog refreshingly simple here. The hotel shares its pet policy with guests before they book, so you can check the detail in advance rather than discovering it on arrival. Access extends generously through the hotel, with dogs welcome on the terrace, in the lounge and in the garden, giving your dog several places to settle beyond the room itself.
There are real limits to weigh up. The hotel only accepts dogs under 30 lbs, so larger breeds cannot stay here, and dogs may not be left alone in the room for any duration, which rules out leaving your dog behind while you head out for the day. The hotel does not provide a dog bed, toys, treats or poop bags, and there is no dog-walking service, sitter arrangement, grooming or dog wash area, so you will need to bring the essentials yourself and plan your own care arrangements. This suits an owner with a small, well mannered dog who is happy to keep him close at all times and make use of the nearby parks and paths. Owners of larger dogs, or anyone needing to leave a dog unattended, should look elsewhere.
