InterContinental Washington Willard Dog Friendly Review
InterContinental Washington Willard holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This hotel offers a decent experience for dog owners, with most rooms welcoming your four-legged friends. Dogs are allowed in the bar, restaurant, terrace, and lounge, which is a nice touch for those who want to keep their canine companions close. However, dogs can't be left alone in the room, which can be a hassle if you plan to explore without them.
The hotel provides a welcome amenity bag with treats, which is a thoughtful gesture. The $200 per stay fee is steep, especially considering the limited amenities. The weight limit of 40 lbs is restrictive, excluding popular breeds like Labradors, which is a significant downside. The two-dog limit per room is reasonable for most travelers.
While there's no on-site garden, nearby parks offer convenient walking options. The hotel doesn't offer dog-walking or sitting services, which would have been a big plus for flexibility.
Overall, the InterContinental Washington Willard provides a good experience for dog owners, but the high fee and weight restrictions are notable drawbacks. If your dog fits the criteria and you don't mind the cost, it's a decent choice.
