The hotel’s pet-loving staff is ready to greet you, your family and your pet. In fact, the staff welcomes the pet with your dog’s name on a dog-shaped chalkboard found at check-in. During your stay, your dog receives a complimentary goodie bag including organic treats from Portland’s LexiDog Boutique, as well as a Hotel Zags plush dog bed and water bowl.

 

And with a full floor of pet-friendly rooms and suites, both dogs and owners can enjoy a worry-free and welcoming environment.

Through this package, you’ll also receive locally made CBD dog snacks, Smart Formula Botanical Skin & Coat Waterless Cleanser by Patika Pets, a Hotel Zags doggie bandana and adult beverages for the humans.
