YOTEL Washington DC Dog Friendly Review
YOTEL Washington DC is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it missed one of our minimum requirements: dogs are not provided with food and water bowls. That caps the rank at F.
Most rooms welcome dogs, and dogs are welcome in the lounge and the terrace, so your dog stays at your side rather than waiting upstairs. There is no weight limit, so a big dog is treated the same as a small one, and dogs can be left alone in the room, which makes an evening out straightforward. Green spaces and parks are close by, with staff on hand to point you to the good walks.
The dog fee is $100 plus tax per stay. No dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags are provided, there is no garden or dedicated dog space on site, there is no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not had formal training for canine guests. Bring your own bowls and your dog will be well looked after here, and certification needs only that gap closed.
