The Press Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Press Hotel holds a disappointing D Roch Rank. Dogs are welcome, up to two to a room, can be left alone in the room, and the room comes with a dog bed. The hotel supports pet charities and green spaces and parks are close by.
The dog fee is $75 per stay, and a weight limit of 75 lb applies, so most dogs are fine. There are no treats, 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.
Your dog stays in the bedroom. This is a thin stay lifted by a dog bed and the freedom to leave a settled dog, best for an owner who packs their own kit.
Roch Score: 14/77. This hotel does not meet 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.
