Super dog friendly under new owners!

This hotel is now a part of the Ascend Hotel Collection (not best western). They are obviously in the middle of an upgrade and remodel in both the rooms and the property with lots of cool features being added. When we were there last weekend we saw new signage around the property pointing you to, among other things, Dog Park. It looked like it was still being constructed but that was something we'd never seen before! Looks like it'll probably be a small off leash, fenced in play spot for pups when it's done.

The hotel itself is nice with big spacious rooms and nice bathrooms plus many rooms have a large spa bathtub in the room, though it doesn't seem like any of those rooms are pet friendly, sadly.

The real winner here are the amazing views from each and every balcony/patio. With the hotel right on the beach you can people watch in the morning while you drink your Kurig coffee and eat a free hot breakfast from the lobby (til 10am). There is also daily salmon chowder (that the people at the front desk were really excited about) and fresh cookies.

There's beach access right on the property that the dogs loved because then they got to go play like 10 times a day. There's also an outdoor hot tub and heated pool, though, since you can't leave your dogs in the room for any amount of time (which is pretty normal) and you can't bring them to the pool area, you'll either be swimming alone instead of with your partner or missing out on the hot tub altogether (since you can't get one in your dog friendly room either).

The hotel is walkable to a whole host of little restaurants, parks, and watering holes if you don't want to pack up the pack.
