Pet-Friendly Hotels in Windsor, Ontario

A full kitchen in every room is what sets TownePlace Suites Windsor apart for a family: meals, bottles and snacks can be prepared in the room, and coin-operated laundry on site helps on a longer trip. The hotel is downtown and near the Windsor International Aquatic & Training Centre and Adventure Bay Family Waterpark, two natural outings for children. Pets are welcome.

Hyatt Place Windsor is listed as family-friendly, and the indoor swimming pool is the part children will care about most. Parents get a fitness room, spa and wellness facilities and an outdoor fireplace for the evening. The restaurant serves American cuisine with halal and vegetarian options, useful when the family has different diets, and the bedding is hypoallergenic. Pets are welcome, so the family dog can come along. I would pick it as a practical, well-rated base in Windsor.

Hampton Inn & Suites Windsor gives families rooms with a sofa bed, a refrigerator, a microwave and a tea and coffee maker, so a family of four can share comfortably and handle snacks easily. The indoor pool uses salt water, a gentler option for children, and a spa and wellness area serves parents. Pets are accepted. The hotel is near the airport. I would choose it for families who want space and a pool in Windsor.

The view across the Detroit River to the Detroit skyline is the memorable part of a family stay here, and the downtown location puts the riverfront paths within easy reach for an evening walk. An indoor pool keeps children busy after a day out, and the spa and wellness facilities give parents a break. Pets are welcome. Rooms are practical rather than spacious, with a coffee maker and a desk, and the whole hotel is non-smoking.

Four Points by Sheraton Windsor Downtown puts families in the city centre, one block from the Detroit Windsor Tunnel. The indoor pool gives children something to look forward to, and the spa and wellness centre is there for parents. Rooms are contemporary, with free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen cable TV and a coffee maker, and the restaurant on site keeps dinner simple. Pets are accepted. The 7.9 score from 226 reviews is fair for a central base.

I would suggest the Comfort Inn & Suites Ambassador Bridge to families on a practical stop in Windsor. The daily hot breakfast covers mornings before a day out or a border crossing, and the indoor pool gives children an evening activity. Rooms have a refrigerator, a coffee maker, cable TV and free WiFi, handy for snacks. A spa and wellness area is listed for parents, and pets are accepted. Rooms are Standard Single or Double Queen.

Best Western Plus Waterfront's 277 Riverside Drive address puts families straight onto the Windsor riverfront, where the parks and the walking path along the Detroit River are across the street, a good first outing after a long drive. The indoor pool and sauna help on a cold or wet day, and the mini-fridge handles milk and snacks. Pets are welcome, which makes it one of the easier downtown options with a dog. Parents should weigh the downsides: parking is paid, and the downtown casino district is busy late on weekends. For a day in Detroit, children need their own documents to cross by the tunnel. A 7.7 from 473 reviews says the river view does more of the work than the rooms.

Quality Inn & Suites Windsor Downtown keeps things simple for families: a hot continental breakfast each morning, a refrigerator in every room for drinks and snacks, and free WiFi. Pets are accepted, so the family dog can come too. The hotel is a short drive from the Detroit/Windsor Tunnel, handy if your trip includes a day across the border. I would choose it for families who want an affordable, practical base downtown.
