YOTEL Washington DC Dog Friendly Review
YOTEL Washington DC holds a disappointing D Roch Rank. Most rooms take dogs, and yours is welcome in the lounge and on the terrace, so it stays at your side rather than waiting upstairs. There is no weight limit and dogs can be left alone in the room.
The dog fee is $100 per stay. There is no dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags, no garden or dedicated dog space, no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not been trained for canine guests.
Bring your own bowls and green spaces and parks are close by. This is a thin stay lifted by the run of the lounge and terrace and the freedom to leave a settled dog, best for an owner who packs their own kit.
