The Algonquin Resort, Saint Andrews: Certified Dog-Friendly Rank & Review
The Algonquin Resort scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. While most rooms are dog-friendly, the resort's restrictions are a letdown. Dogs are barred from the restaurants, indoor pool, and fitness center, which limits your four-legged friend's freedom. The $55 per room fee isn't outrageous, but with few amenities provided, it feels like you're paying for the privilege of limited access.
On the plus side, the resort offers a dedicated dog space and nearby public green spaces, which are great for walks. However, the lack of dog beds, bowls, or treats means you'll need to pack your own essentials. The absence of dog-sitting or walking services adds to the hassle, especially since dogs can't be left alone in rooms.
The weight limit of 200 lbs is generous, accommodating most breeds, and the allowance of up to three dogs per room is a rare perk. Still, the overall experience feels more like tolerance than a warm welcome. If you're looking for a truly dog-friendly stay, you might want to explore other options.
This hotel has been evaluated, ranked, and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world's first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel, and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels in order to fairly derive its rank.

The Perimeter Loop of Minister's Island near St. Andrews is a fantastic trail!! Visitors recommend to expect to stay longer than you think for the hike as it gives you a better chance see inside the historic buildings and take plenty of pictures. The trail itself is a nice wide trail that follows the shoreline and offers awesome water views. It is well-groomed with some roots. In the winter, it's a great place to snowshoe or cross country ski. There may be fees associated with the park. For...
