No Weight LimitThe Crystal Lodge Dog Friendly Review
The Crystal Lodge holds a respectable B Roch Rank, and it makes a strong case for dog owners visiting Whistler. Dogs are welcome in the lounge, most rooms are dog friendly, and there is no weight or size limit, so dogs of any size can stay. Nearby green spaces give you somewhere to walk your dog, and the hotel is happy to offer guidance on walking routes in the area.
Day to day, the hotel provides real food and water bowls along with free treats at no additional charge, so you will not need to bring your own bowl. Up to two dogs are permitted per room at no additional charge, and dogs stay free of charge with no damage deposit taken for them. You may leave your dog alone in the room for a short while, though the hotel will contact you if there is a noise complaint. Dogs are allowed in the lounge, and nearby parks and green spaces give you places to walk together.
There is no garden for dogs to use, no dedicated dog space, and no dog wash or shower area. Dogs are not allowed in the bar, the restaurant or the terrace and patio, and the hotel does not offer a dog-walking service, dog food for sale, poop bags, dog toys or grooming arrangements. This stay suits an owner with a well behaved dog who is happy to rely on nearby parks for walks and does not need extra services or dedicated dog facilities on site. Owners wanting dog access to dining and outdoor areas, or wanting practical extras like poop bags or a walking service, should look elsewhere.
