Onsite GardenThe William Vale Dog Friendly Review
The William Vale holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This hotel offers a good experience for dog owners, all of their rooms are dog friendly, so you won't have any availability issues. Dogs are allowed in their bar, restaurant, terrace, and public areas, which is a big plus for those who want to enjoy the hotel's full amenities without leaving their dog behind.
Well behaved dogs can be left alone in the rooms, which which is convenient if you need to head out for a while. They provide full amenities like food and water bowls, and a dog bed. They also have free treats, but you will need to bring your own dog food. The hotel has its own green space, Vale Park, a 15,000 sq ft elevated promenade with landscaped walkways, rolling hills, herb and vegetable gardens, and sweeping skyline and neighbourhood views.
The fee structure is reasonable, with no charge for dogs, which is something you don't see a lot. However, the weight limit of 50 pounds excludes popular breeds like Labradors, so call ahead if you have one to check. The limit of two dogs per room is fair, but the absence of dog-walking or sitting means you have to plan ahead. The William Vale offers a decent experience for dog owners. While the lack of fees is fantastic, the weight restriction and absence of services like dog walking might make it less appealing for some.
