The Post Oak Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Post Oak Hotel holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog friendly stays. All rooms here are dog friendly, and the hotel offers a dedicated dog park on the 5th floor, which doubles as its answer to green space since there are no terraces or patios on site. The team is trained to accommodate and care for canine guests, and the concierge is happy to help with recommendations for local walking routes, which gives a useful starting point for exploring beyond the hotel itself.
In the room you will find a dog bed along with real food and water bowls, and the hotel provides poop bags as standard. Treats are offered free of charge, dog food can be ordered through In-Room Dining, and the spa sells dog toys should you want to pick one up during your stay. Your dog may be left alone in the room for a short while, which is handy if you want to step out for dinner. The hotel charges a $150 non refundable deposit, which doubles as the damage deposit, and dogs may use their room and the 5th floor dog park, as that is the extent of dedicated dog friendly activities on offer.
There are some real limits to plan around. A weight limit of 75 lbs applies, and rooms are capped at 2 dogs each. The deposit is non refundable, so budget for it as a fixed cost of the stay rather than a returnable sum. Dogs are not allowed in the bar, restaurant, lounge or on any terrace, there is no garden, no dog wash area, and no dog-walking or sitting service arranged by the hotel. This makes The Post Oak Hotel a solid choice for an owner with a smaller, well mannered dog who is happy with a city stay built around a rooftop dog park rather than green lawns, but owners with larger dogs over the weight limit, or those wanting dining and lounge access alongside their dog, should look elsewhere.
