No Weight LimitThe President Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The President Hotel has earned an A Roch Rank.
Most of its 64 rooms welcome dogs, with up to two dogs to a room, so availability is rarely the obstacle it can be elsewhere. What lifts this hotel above the usual seaside stopover is how much of the building your dog is allowed into. Dogs are welcome in the bar, the restaurant, the lounge and out on the terrace, which means you are not eating in shifts or leaving your dog upstairs while you have a drink. There is no weight limit either, so a large dog is treated exactly the same as a small one.
The kit is genuine rather than token. Food and water bowls are provided, along with free treats, toys and poo bags for walks, and there is a dog shower on site, which is worth more than it sounds after a wet walk. Staff have been trained to look after canine guests, and dog walking, dog sitting and grooming can all be arranged through the hotel. Green spaces and parks are close by, and staff will point you to the routes worth taking.
Two things to plan around. Dogs cannot be left alone in the room, so a day out needs to include your dog or a sitter booked in advance, and there is no garden or dedicated dog space at the hotel itself. There is a charge for dogs, though no damage deposit is taken, and cats are not accommodated.
Roch Score: 41/77. Meets the Roch Dog Friendly Standard. This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
