We stayed at The Cumberland as it was described as pet friendly and the location is ideal. After booking, I emailed them to tell them I was bringing a dog. I had checked their website beforehand. I received an email back from them 2 hours after my free cancellation period ended, informing me that there is a £100 charge for bringing dogs. This is to cover a specialist team deep cleaning the room. Whilst I understand this, I have a 4.5kg, non-shedding Labradoodle. Once we left, you couldn't tell she had been there. I have knocked a star off for the lack of transparency surrounding this. I don't think you can call yourself pet friendly and charge such an amount and not be very open about this i.e on the website. Next, none of the staff seemed to have a clue about where the dog was allowed or not. I was told by "star services" (reception) that I could not eat in the hotel with my dog. You definitely can't describe yourself as pet friendly and not allow pets with their owners to eat. We were allowed in the sports bar for food, and the staff at the restaurant area were very friendly about this but did tuck as away in the furtherest end of the sports bar and at breakfast (which pets are allowed at). I have also knocked another star off for the lack of staff knowledge about this, I feel you should be pet friendly or not and your staff should know what's allowed or not. I didn't enjoy trying to hide my pet in a pet friendly hotel.
