Our favorite park.

Lauderdale Off-Leash Area

This is our go-to park for our GSD. The whole thing is fenced in and each entrance into the park has two gates to prevent any accidental escapes. There's a secondary fenced-in area for small dogs. Picnic tables are scattered throughout the grounds and usually have containers for water nearby. Sadly, there are no water sources available. Most of the area is wide open but there are a few small wooded spots and a hill in one section. Great park for walking or ball-throwing. Bring boots for yourself and a towel for your dog during the Spring melt or after heavy rains. Parts of the park can get pretty swampy.

Meh.

Delta Hotels by Marriott Sault Ste Marie Waterfront

We checked in at around 11 PM on a Sunday. This has been the second Delta hotel we've stayed at with our girl. We opted, again, for a double queen. The room was reasonably sized and featured a TV, fridge, somewhat dated coffee maker (the Saskatoon Delta at least had a Kuerig), iHome alarm and cordless phone (the latter two of which were unplugged for some unfathomable reason and had to be set up before they could be used). Otherwise, the room itself was your pretty run of the mill hotel room.

The room had no directory, phone book, bible, or anything else that would have been of informational value. As we had arrived late, our choices for food in the hotel and surrounding area were nonexistent. Make sure you bring snacks! You may have to resort to the local Dominoes' Pizza (as suggested by the concierge) or late night gas station for sustenance.

We received no treats, bowls, nor a 'Pet In Room' hangar. What we did receive was an immediate request to fill out the pet form at the front desk when they noticed we brought in our girl with our luggage following the initial check-in. That was about it. Despite having booked through BringFido, it seemed to come as a surprise to the front desk that we had a dog with us.

The nearby park was nice and provided convenient poop bag dispensers. It has also been closed for COVID restrictions.

The tl;dr for this hotel was that we found it offered nothing special to us as human guests and certainly nothing special to our canine companion. The best thing it really might have going for it is being on the waterfront, if that's important to you. It wasn't to us. We just needed a hotel that allowed large dogs.

Great Stay!

Super 8 by Wyndham Winnipeg West

We rolled into this hotel as a late night, same-day check-in from the road. Fortunately, they had a room available and were able to accommodate. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly and placed us on the first floor, which is reserved for pet owners. They also provided a treat bag with a doggie bag and a complimentary milk bone. There was a nearby grassy area which was mostly (not completely) fenced in only about thirty feet from the main entrance. Very handy. The room was nice and cozy and a grab 'n go breakfast was served in the morning at the front desk. Really great experience at an excellent price.

Not Bad

Delta Hotels by Marriott Saskatoon Downtown

Received a bit of a hassle at the front desk for being a walk-in, same-day check-in. Otherwise, the room was nice enough. Floors 10 and 17 were reserved for pet owners and we were on 10. Not sure if we were at the wrong one but the park across the street had several no dogs allowed signs posted, but we managed to find some surrounding strips of grass. Other hotels we've stayed at provided complimentary biscuit(s) or dog bags. Delta provided us with neither. Otherwise, it was an all right stay.
