The Westin Pittsburgh Dog Friendly Review
The Westin Pittsburgh scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. If you're planning a stay with your furry friend, brace yourself for some limitations. While most rooms are dog friendly, the hotel doesn't allow dogs in the bar, restaurant, or on the terrace, which means your pup will be confined to the room. And forget about leaving them alone; that's a no-go here, adding a layer of hassle for solo travelers or those wanting to explore the city without their canine companion.
On the plus side, the hotel provides dog beds and bowls, so you can leave those at home. However, don't expect any free treats or dog food on-site. The $50 per stay fee is reasonable, but the 50-pound weight limit is a major drawback, excluding popular breeds like Labradors. With a two-dog limit per room, it's not the best choice for those with a larger pack.
The lack of a dedicated dog space or garden is a letdown, especially in a city setting where green spaces are a premium. While there are parks nearby, the absence of on-site amenities means you'll be heading out for every walk. The hotel doesn't offer dog-walking or sitting services, so flexibility is limited if you need a break.
In summary, The Westin Pittsburgh falls short of being truly dog friendly. The restrictions and lack of amenities make it a less-than-ideal choice for dog owners. Consider other options if you want a more welcoming experience for your four-legged friend.
