Good Dog Facilities, FAR Less Expensive than Port District
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel PortlandThis hotel comprises two round towers off the Maine Turnpike and across from the mall. Very dog accommodating — our 100lb Berner was no problem (even though they supposedly have a 75lb limit). Lots of other dogs here, too. Good places to walk the dog, and even a fenced in “dog park” (just a small play area, really) with a poop bag dispenser.
All rooms renovated in 2018. One of the two beds in our room sagged to one side, but not bad. Definitely dog friendly and a decent place to stay.
Cruising with the Dog
Portland Discovery Land and Sea ToursEven though our Berner is 9, this was his first time on a boat. But it went great, and the crew couldn’t have been nicer. There are gangplanks and stairs... just be aware, it’s a boat. You can sit outdoors in the breeze or indoors in the A/C if the sun is too hot for your furry friend. Bring a bowl for water... the best we could do was a plastic cup. Definitely recommended.
Cooper Loved It
The PortholeOn a warm and sunny August afternoon, the staff was especially accommodating by letting us sit with our Bernese Mountain Dog at a picnic table in the shade that’s normally part of the bar area. They treated him like a king: a BIG bowl of water, and... a complimentary plate of chicken fingers (which they gave to US of course to feed to Cooper).
Well, you can’t have more fun than that if you’re a dog.
The food was fine, if not really outstanding, the kitchen was glacially slow. The drinks were priced reasonably.
We’d definitely go back... because they treated our dog so great.
