Wayfinder Waikiki Dog Friendly Review
Wayfinder Waikiki holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a shame given some genuinely useful features for dog owners. All rooms are dog friendly, with no weight or size restrictions at all, meaning dogs of any size are welcome. There are also parks and green spaces nearby that are suitable for walks, giving you somewhere to take your dog beyond the hotel grounds. Dogs are also welcome throughout much of the hotel's social spaces, which is a strong point in its favour.
Day to day, your dog is welcome in the restaurant, bar, lounge, terrace and patio areas, so you need not leave him behind when you head down for a meal or a drink. There is a dog fee of $35 per dog, per day, and a $200 damage deposit is also required, which is worth budgeting for across the length of your stay. Up to two dogs are allowed per room. Beyond these points, the hotel does not provide a dog bed, bowls, dog food, treats, toys or a dog wash area, so you will need to bring your own essentials.
The main drawback is that you are advised not to leave your dog unattended in the room, as he may become distressed or disturb other guests, so this is not the place for owners who need to step out and leave their dog behind. There is also no dog-walking service, no guidance on walking routes, and no poop bags provided, so you will be managing walks and clean-up yourself. This stay suits an owner with a calm dog who enjoys company and is happy to be included in restaurant and lounge visits rather than left in the room. Owners who need extensive in-room dog amenities or support arranging walks and care should look elsewhere.
