W Montreal Dog Friendly Review
W Montreal holds a failing F Roch Rank, a verdict that sits oddly against the stylish, design led atmosphere the brand is known for in the city centre. For a dog owner, though, the headline facts offer some genuine comfort: most rooms here are dog friendly, so you are unlikely to be shuffled into a single designated wing, and there is no weight or size limit, meaning a boisterous retriever is just as welcome as a compact terrier. You are also permitted to leave your dog alone in the room, which matters if your Montreal plans include dinners or meetings where a dog cannot follow, and there is no damage deposit demanded on top of everything else, so your upfront costs stay lower than at hotels that stack fees before you have even unpacked.
Day to day, the practicalities are refreshingly uncomplicated even if they are sparse. Because most rooms accept dogs, you are not restricted to a narrow category of accommodation when booking, and the absence of a weight or size cap means you will not need to declare or measure your dog in advance. Being allowed to leave your dog unaccompanied in the room gives you real flexibility during the stay, whether you are heading out for the evening or simply want to eat without a dog underfoot. There is no damage deposit to arrange or later reclaim, which simplifies checkout. Against this you are charged a flat $100 CAD dog fee, and with nothing else bundled into that charge, such as a bed, bowls or treats, it reads as a fairly steep price for what amounts to permission alone.
Where this stay falls short is everywhere beyond the bedroom door. There is no bar, restaurant, terrace or lounge where your dog is welcome, so any shared downtime together will need to happen in the room rather than around the hotel. There is no garden, no dedicated dog space and no wash area, and nearby green spaces are not part of the offering, so exercising and toileting your dog will require you to plan your own routes without help from staff, who are not trained for canine guests and offer no walking or sitting service. Poop bags, grooming, toys and food are not provided, and there is no emergency vet number to hand if things go wrong. This suits an owner with a calm, self sufficient dog who mainly wants a comfortable room base and is happy to organise everything else independently; owners hoping for a genuinely dog centred stay with amenities and support should look elsewhere.
