No Weight LimitThe Mayflower Inn & Spa Dog Friendly Review
The Mayflower Inn & Spa holds a respectable B Roch Rank, and it is a genuinely welcoming choice for dog owners, with every room here described as dog friendly and no weight or size limit, meaning dogs of any size are welcome. The hotel even has some media coverage on its own social media platforms showcasing pets on the property, and it is friendly with almost all animals, allowing cats to stay as well. The pet policy is shared before booking, with an agreement sent for you to review and sign upon check-in, so there are no surprises at the door.
On arrival, your dog's room will have a dog bed along with food and water bowls already provided, and dog food is available for sale should you need it. The concierge team can assist with local walking routes and parks or green spaces for his walks nearby. Dogs are welcome in the lounge and on the outdoor terrace or patio, though they must remain in the outdoor dining or patio area only and stay on a leash at all times. You are more than welcome to leave your dog alone in the room, for instance while you have dinner. There is a one-time dog fee of $150 per stay, per pet, per room, and no damage deposit is required, though any damage or extraordinary cleaning would be billed to the room. Up to two dogs per room are permitted.
There are some notable absences: the hotel does not provide a garden for dogs to use, nor a dedicated dog space, dog wash area, free treats, poop bags, or a dog-walking service, and it does not arrange grooming or sitting through an outside provider. Dogs are also not allowed in the bar or restaurant, and there are no dog friendly activities, events, or awards, nor an emergency vet number kept on file. Despite these gaps, this is a strong choice for owners whose dogs are relaxed being left alone in a room and who are content walking on leash in nearby green spaces rather than an on-site garden. Owners seeking dog friendly dining indoors or structured pet activities should look elsewhere.
