We spent one night with our dog in this hotel. Speedy and friendly check-in, and good room with street view. Coffee maker available and a couple of bottles of water. The hotel is located next to the city centre of Weert, and within 5 min walk of a canal with a small yacht harbor. The breakfast was excellent; full english as well as a good variety of other items. However, as we were taking our table, the waitress told us the dog was not allowed. A surprise to us; the hotel small print on hotels.com mentioned 'dogs admitted'. In every other hotel (in Germany and France) our well behaved Labrador had always been welcome. I took the dog back to the room, but questioned the waitress later on. She mentioned this was the policy in the Netherlands and Belgium. I told her about our previous experiences. She told us one of the other guests had complained about the presence of the dog. It would be useful if hotels would clarify clearly what 'dogs admitted' means. It is not at all 'obvious' a dog is not welcome in the breakfast room. European Community rules stipulate dogs should be kept away from areas where food is being processed and handled; whether a dog is allowed in a restaurant, pub etc is up to the manager of the establishment. With clearly stated rules our breakfast incident would have been avoided.
