River Hotel scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. This place is not exactly rolling out the red carpet for your four-legged friend. Dogs are only allowed in the lounge and public areas, and they must be leashed at all times. Forget about dining with your dog on the patio or enjoying a drink at the bar together. The hotel doesn't provide dog beds or food, so pack your own essentials. On the plus side, they do offer free treats and bowls, which is a small consolation.
The hotel charges a $25 fee per dog per night, which isn't too steep, but considering the lack of amenities, it feels like you're paying for the privilege of having your dog tolerated rather than welcomed. They have a weight limit of 25 pounds, and only one dog is allowed per room, which is a bummer for those with Labradors, or multiple canine companions. Dogs can't be left alone in the room, adding a layer of hassle if you plan to explore the city without them.
While there's no on-site garden, the nearby public green spaces offer some relief for walks. However, the hotel doesn't provide guidance on walking routes or offer dog-walking services, so you're on your own there. The absence of dog-sitting or grooming services further limits convenience. The staff isn't specifically trained to handle dogs, which might explain the lukewarm welcome.
In summary, River Hotel is a place where your dog is more of an afterthought than a guest. If you're looking for a truly dog-friendly experience, you might want to keep searching.
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.
