    Mostly Positive

    I want to give the staff 5 stars! Everyone we encountered was absolutely great! Friendly. Helpful.
    Good location. Beautiful hotel. Quiet room. The problem I had was there was no dog relief area close to the hotel. I have an English bulldog and it was tough for her to walk so far but, when we got to the area, there was no access.

    Not a great neighborhood

    The hotel was fine. The neighborhood, not so much!

    Nice place

    The staff went above and beyond. There is no potty area for your puppy. Nice room. Little small.

    No pet relief area

    This is located in a busy downtown area, with zero grass options within three blocks. Staff didn’t acknowledge dogs at all, nor did they have any info about where to take my dogs to pee. Also, the stairs are “closed” so if your pup doesn’t like long elevator rides, this isn’t the place for you.

    Good boys and girls everywhere

    We never went through the lobby without seeing other pups.

    Great accommodations and friendly staff!

    Only drawback is there's no direct pet relief area in the hotel. You have to walk three city blocks in a district that has a good amount of homeless people and doesn't smell the greatest. Parking is expensive, too. We were upgraded to a spa suite which was super nice and definitely recommend. Only reason we won't be back is the location (lots of homeless and fowl smell) and expensive parking.

    The hotel is great, the location is horrible

    No grass or parks nearby fog dogs and the trolly sounds constantly. The hotel is great and the staff was friendly and accommodating for our puppy.

    Great place for large dogs

    Dogs stay absolutely free!!! We brought our big 60 lb pit and 12 lb Maltese mix and they stayed free. My friend forgot a dog bowl and bed and the hotel had fresh new to spare. Great experience and nice staff.

    Stay at Solimar instead

    This is the worst kimptom I’ve ever stayed at. Dirty, old and unwelcoming. The solimar in SD is far better.

    Very dog friendly, welcoming hotel

    Hotel was beautiful, room was very nice, staff was dog friendly. No pet fee. I love Kimpton's dog friendly policy, especially towards my bully breed!

    Great Dog-friendly Hotel

    We spent a Friday and Saturday night here in January and were impressed with how accommodating this hotel is for both people and pooches. There is a small, grassy park just two short blocks away for potty time and it even has bags. This is a unique historic area, with all the pluses and minuses that go with that.

    The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because I’d spoken to someone ahead of time by phone and requested a dog bed and bowls, but there was no note of that when we checked in. It took an hour and several reminders later before they finally arrived.
