The President Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The President Hotel in Blackpool holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog friendly stays. It welcomes dogs into the bar, the lounge and the terrace, and it offers a dog friendly dining area where your dog would be most welcome. Staff have had training for canine guests, and most rooms in the hotel are dog friendly, with no weight or size limit on the dogs who stay.
Day to day, the hotel keeps things simple and generous. There is no damage deposit, and the dog fee is 10, which is modest for the stay as a whole. Up to two dogs are permitted per room, and your dog can be left alone in the room, though the hotel points out that he would be most welcome instead in its dog friendly dining area. Staff put out a treat for your dog and provide poop bags, and they keep an emergency vet number to hand should it be needed. For walks, the seafront and lower promenade come recommended, with further parks inland and along the promenade itself.
There are no specific restrictions recorded against this hotel, which is a point in its favour, though some amenities are simply absent: there is no garden for dogs to use, no dog wash or shower area, no dog bed, no real food or water bowls provided, and no dog-walking service. This stay suits an owner whose dog is happy to explore the seafront and promenade rather than use hotel grounds, and who values a welcoming, trained staff over extra equipment and extras. Owners wanting a garden for their dog, or bowls and a bed provided in the room, should look elsewhere.

This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry.
