Dogs in hotel
 

I was a guest at Hampton Inn in Fort Worth and much to my dismay there was a dog in the breakfast area. He was not a seeing eye dog but a very large bulldog. He was being held by the breakfast hostess when I arrived downstairs. I found that not a good practice :mad:

What do you have against dogs?
 

Could I please ask why you were dismayed?

Personally I do not see a problem with dogs in hotels (including the breakfast room) as long as they are well behaved and "under control". Control can by by voice or leash.

If you travel in France you will see a lot of dogs in trains, planes and hotels.

What is the problem?

In many jurisdictions, laws and/or ordinances prohibit non-service animals from being in certain establishments (such as those where food is being served).

I dont normally mind dogs but when they are around where food is being served that bothers me. Not to mention on more than one occassion she put the dog down and placed out back out of the breakfast bar. I didnt see her wash her hands or have gloves on.

Dog dander in the muffin basket. Yuck. A lot of people have allergies. (This kind of thing would absolutely ruin my wife's day.) I would invoke the 100% satisfaction guarantee in a case like this.

I was staying at the Drake in Chicago one time, and while I was waiting in the lobby for my colleague to come down, this guy walks out of the elevator with a large English bulldog on a leash. It was very cute, and I thought it was kind of cool to see that in an "upscale" hotel. But I agree that things would be different if the dog was brought into an eating area and was being handled by the service staff.

I attempted to ask for 100% but they denied.
What other options to do i have. I travel to fort worth at least 3 times a month for business. Does anyone have another hotels for refer? I will never stay at this property again

They denied giving you the 100% satisfaction guarantee?!?!? Perhaps 100% doesn't mean the same to them as it does to the rest of the world. I would call guest relations right away! Their denial would certainly push me FAR over the edge from satisfied to unsatisfied. If a guest is not satisfied the guarantee applies, for any reason. Call 1-800-445-8667 and ask for guest relations!

Check on line at the Fort Worth city web site. Most health departments have strict laws about any animal (except service animals) in food service areas.

There are emotional support dogs and medical detection dogs in addition to seeing eye dogs.

Be sure that it does not fall under this category. If the dog DID.....the hotel would be breaking the law by not allowing it near the owner.

There is no certain breed that performs these functions.

I was onced comped a night without even asking for it...

Oh dear god :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

you mean Oh dear dog :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

NO, I DIDNT ASK WHY IT WAS THERE

THIS HOTEL HAS A SMALL BREAKFAST AREA AND I SAW HER WITH MY TWO EYES GRAB MUFFINS AND PLACE THEM ON A PLATE AND BRING THEM OUT FOR SERVICE.

SHE WAS HOLDING HIM RIGHT NEAR A FRUIT BOWL
