The Walper Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Walper Hotel received a failing F Roch Rank. This place is a tough sell for dog owners. Only a few rooms are dog friendly, so you better call ahead if you want to bring your four-legged friend. Dogs are not allowed in any public areas, which means you're pretty much confined to your room. And forget about leaving your dog alone in the room—it's not allowed, adding a layer of hassle to your stay.
Amenities are sparse. While they do provide food and water bowls, don't expect any dog beds or treats. You'll need to bring your own essentials. On the plus side, there are public green spaces nearby, which is a small consolation for the lack of on-site dog areas.
The fee is CAD 75 per stay, which isn't outrageous, but given the lack of amenities and restrictions, it feels steep. There's a weight limit of 44 lbs, which excludes popular breeds like Labradors, making it less dog friendly than it claims. You're also limited to two dogs per room, so if you're traveling with a pack, look elsewhere.
In summary, The Walper Hotel is not the place for a stress-free stay with your dog. The restrictions and lack of amenities make it more of a hassle than it's worth. Look for other options if you want a truly dog friendly experience.
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.
