What Reviews Say

253 reviews analyzed

Rex Dog Hotel + Spa is highly regarded for its exceptional cleanliness, 'loft-style' aesthetics, and popular outdoor water park. Long-term clients praise the facility as a high-end 'spa' experience with reliable 24/7 supervision and beloved daily photo updates. However, the business faces significant criticism for strict breed restrictions and a low tolerance for vocal or high-energy dogs, occasionally resulting in stressful last-minute rejections for owners.

Worth noting

Breed discrimination (Pitbulls, Mastiffs, Rottweilers)

โ€œRex Dog Hotel has generalized breed restrictions... that has disqualified my mastiff puppy even a meet and greet.โ€

Last-minute rejection/dismissal during boarding

โ€œWe decided to let our dog stay with them... before we even landed in Mexico they asked us to arrange other care.โ€

Alleged injury/illness (Pneumonia and bite mark)

โ€œWe brought him home and he looked extremely ill... he had an awful pneumonia.โ€

Low tolerance for barking/high energy(9 mentions)

โ€œThey complained that my dog keeps barking and not allow her to live in this hotel anymore.โ€

Rude/unprofessional front desk staff(12 mentions)

โ€œThe lady I dealt with (Nora) was very prim, unaccommodating and certainly did not make feel welcome.โ€

Strict/inflexible policies(6 mentions)

โ€œThey say she can't be there because she needs a new vaccine from only 2 weeks ago.โ€
