Downtown right next to the Lock

Location was right next to the Lock but unfortunately dogs are not allowed in the park. Plenty of grass for dogs use and free parking. Room was comfortable but there was some street noise.

Great adventure!

If you’ve ever visited a historic home and wondered what it would be like to stay there, this is your chance! This house is nearly 140 years old with lots of stained glass and original fireplaces with beautiful mantelpieces and tile, but also air conditioning, WiFi and TV. Our dog was given lots of love. There is a grassy area across the street and a large park a short block away. Breakfast was fabulous changing daily. We stayed in the Library room on the first floor with private bathroom. It had an old claw footed tub that was a treat. The outside is still being renovated so a little rough and parking is on the street, but it is a pretty quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay!

Right in the middle of Main Street where all the action is. It is an old hotel and the room is not huge, but it is updated and very comfortable. Frisco is very dog friendly and Mickey has been welcomed everywhere. There was a lovely patio right outside our room and they have daily happy hour drinks. We can’t wait to come back!

Great stop!

Wonderful old classic hotel. Very dog friendly. Room was large and quiet and we were there on St Pat’s day. Macaroni and cheese in restaurant was creamy and good. Parking was on the street in front of hotel, but it was not a problem. Wonderful park across the street for dog relief. Great alternative to expensive Santa Fe hotels. We will definitely remember this spot.

Historic Plains Hotel

Historic hotel

If you like something a little different, stay at this historic hotel. There is green space across the street and it is near dog friendly restaurants and across the street from the old train station. Remember it is an old restored hotel so it has a few quirks. We upgraded to a larger room and it was very spacious. The reason for 4 bones is no breakfast (but there is dog friendly in the old station) and parking was on the street.

Great stop!

Saw all the 5-bone ratings for this hotel and decided we had to try it. It was a really fun hotel. Staff was all great and Mickey got lots of love. Room decor was concrete floors with oriental rugs. Loved the shower and soft close barn doors. Green area across the street was adequate and felt quite safe after dark. Several nice restaurants a close walk. Beale street is about 0.6 mile away so not a bad walk. Streetcar stops in front of hotel. Definitely recommend this place!

Nice room, but….

The room was freshly decorated with nice sheets and towels and clean. There was grass for the dog, but the walls were thin and I could hear the tv next door and the people upstairs. The heater worked great, but the door opened to the outside and I could see light through it. There was a nice Mexican restaurant across the street, but I tend to be a little cautious in a hotel with an outside window for late check in. The neighborhood was a little “sketchy."

Convenient to eats

Hotel was clean with nice large patio for eating outside and nice green space and sidewalks for walking. Room was a little noisy but that might have been the soccer team in for a tournament. Best feature for us was lots of eating choices in walking distance.

Wonderful place to stay

The room had plenty of space and was clean and comfortable. They provided a hot breakfast which during these COVID times is unusual and it was very good. If you are traveling with your dog this is the place to stay! The room had a dog bed waiting for us as well as dog bowls and two towels for the dog! The towels came in handy after a walk in the rain. There was also a shuttle on demand to take us, dog included, to all the attractions and dinner. We never waited more than ten minutes for this service and parking down in the city is hard to find.
