No Weight LimitKimpton Sawyer Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Kimpton Sawyer Hotel in Sacramento holds an excellent A Roch Rank, and it is easy to see why. All rooms are dog friendly, there is no weight or size limit, and dogs stay completely free of charge. The hotel welcomes dogs in the lounge, where there are often lots of dogs gathering in the lobby, and on the terrace, making it a genuinely inclusive place for owners and their companions. Free treats are handed out at check-in, setting a warm tone from the moment you arrive. Staff are happy to point you towards nearby walking routes around Downtown Sacramento, and there is a designated dog area in the DOCO area for your dog to stretch its legs.
In the room you will find a dog bed and proper food and water bowls provided by the hotel, so there is no need to lug your own kit along. Poop bags are available on request during your stay. Should you need time away from your dog, you may leave them alone in the room, and the hotel can also arrange a third-party dog sitter for additional peace of mind. There is no fee for your dog's stay, which is genuinely generous and removes any worry about hidden costs. A refundable damage deposit is charged for incidentals, though the hotel did not specify the amount, so it is worth confirming the figure before you arrive.
There are some notable absences to be aware of. Dogs are not allowed in the bar or the restaurant, so dining options with your dog on site are limited to the terrace and lounge. The hotel does not have a garden that dogs may use, which means every outing starts on the pavement. There is no dog wash or shower area, and grooming cannot be arranged through the hotel. That said, the combination of no fee, no size restriction, comfortable in-room provisions, and a dog sitting service makes Kimpton Sawyer Hotel an outstanding choice for owners of any breed who want a fuss-free city stay. Those who need extensive on-site outdoor space or full restaurant access with their dog, however, should look elsewhere.
