The Metcalfe Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Metcalfe Hotel holds a disappointing D Roch Rank. Most rooms take dogs, yours is welcome in the lounge, and there is no weight limit. The room comes with a dog bed and free treats.
The dog fee is $75 per stay. There are no toys or poo bags, no garden or dedicated dog space, no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not been trained for canine guests.
Dogs cannot be left alone in the room, so your dog stays with you, with green spaces and parks close by. This is a thin stay lifted by a dog bed, treats and the lounge, best for an owner who keeps the dog close.
