Nice stay

5 bones for the quality hotel! Close to rt 81. Not really anything special for Gunner except being allowed to stay with us. Hampton Inn Dobson is a very nice hotel. Impeccably clean, comfortable and well maintained. Fairly quiet as far as hotels go. Nice breakfast and the setup allowed Gunner to sit with us as we ate breakfast. Very nice stay. One negative is the $75 pet fee. It's for one to three nights. No fee structure for 1 night. $75 is steep for one night. Hampton Inn Dobson is the only hotel we've stay at where this fee is acceptable since it is a very nice hotel and the room fee is reasonable for such a quality hotel. It is in wine country so if your into vineyards its a wonderful hotel to stay. Plenty of grass area to walk Fido. There is a dog friendly casual restaurant a 3 minute walk from hotel. And a couple gas stations close by.

Not great, ok for quick stop

Not up to Comfort Inn standards. Its OK for a night but not great. We travel with a dog and they claim to dog friendly but they fall short. Biggest complaint is the breakfast buffet and seating are in a room that dogs are not permitted. No other seating available so you either have to eat breakfast in shifts or take the food up to your room. One chair and desk not "comfortable" for eating breakfast. We do not leave our dog unattended in the room, we do not feel that is fair to the other guest. Also they put us in a room as far from the entrance as possible on the 3rd floor. The road noise from the highway was really bad. If the AC had a continuous fan setting that would have helped greatly with the road noise. We will not stay here again.

Nice dog friendly hotel

We travel with our dog. Holiday Inn Express West Harrisburg is a nice clean and comfortable hotel that does a good job for travelers with dogs. Reasonable pet fee. Large area to walk your dog. Not part of the hotel property but next to it there is a medical facility with a large grass area between the hotel and med facility. This hotel has the breakfast buffet set up well for traveling with a dog. The buffet is seperate from the seating so its possible to sit at a tabke to eat breakfast with your dog by your side. Rare at "dog friendly" hotels. We will gladly stay here again.

Nice covered patio. Very dog friendly

Good menu. Everything we've had at Pub 6T5 has been great. Large covered patio with access from the parking lot. Waitress was very dog friendly and brought out a bowl of water right away. Nice casual place.

Okay for the price

For a room for the night at a low price it fit the bill. Clean and comfortable beds. From dog's point of view it's one bone only just cuz they let me stay here. That's it, nothing else for fido. I do have to say the other dogs' humans were not good at picking up. Watch your step!

Sunday brunch on the dog friendly patio

We had a nice brunch on the patio with our dog Gunner. The Patio seating is under a tent type roof. New Bedfords fishing fleet is right in front of the patio.

Great food and service with Fido

The food at the Sail Loft is excellent with an extensive selection. The outside deck is dog friendly with plenty of tables. Some under a roof and some with canvas flys for shade. The deck has views of the marina and harbor. We had lunch mid week with no wait for a table however this is a popular spot and can be busy at prime time. Our dog Gunner was happy to join us.

Great view of the bay!

Unfortunately Fido is only allowed at the crushed seashell area between the main outdoor deck and the road. There is no service, no shade and adult beverages are not allowed at the limited seating are that Fido is allowed. You can order take out and eat in the dog allowed area. So you can get the very good food and take in the spectacular bay view. With Fido I can only give 1 bone out of 5.

Wednesday late lunch

Great service and good food! Comfortable seating outside on the patio. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon so outside seating was open. Best to call and check depending on weather. We were told small dogs and service dogs only. Little Gunner was very relaxed as we enjoyed our lunch. Waitress brought out a bowl of fresh water for Gunner.

Good local place downtown Statesville.

We were staying at the Comfort Inn less than 3 miles away. We had some appetizers on the patio with our dog Gunner. Waitress was very friendly and brought out a bowl of water for Gunner. Food and service was great. The locals are very friendly. Several other dogs on the patio and everyone was dog friendly.

Very dog friendly

Great location across the street from the beach. Restaurant and bar on premises. Beachfront extremely dog-friendly restaurant close by. Our dog Gunner was welcome everywhere except the pool area. Classic old beach hotel. Clean and comfortable. Fit the bill perfectly.

Great location

Very accepting of people traveling with dogs. Large park across street. Walking distance to many dog-friendly restaurants. The Hawthorne has great food, but no dog-friendly tables. You can get room service. The lack of any dog friendly tables is the only reason we did not go with 5 bones. Historic hotel in a great location and very dog friendly!
