YOUR PET FRIENDLY CONCIERGE!
Hi, there. It's me, Dugger! I am the Pet Friendly Concierge for the awesome Canopy by Hilton Grand Rapids Downtown!
Our hotel is conveniently located in downtown Grand Rapids, right in the middle of so many pet friendly destinations. I have listed some of those below based on my research and insight from hotel staff. We even created a section of other articles written about pet friendly destinations within Grand Rapids (see Dog Friendly Grand Rapids below).
I hope that you enjoy your visit to the pet friendly city of Grand Rapids! If you have any questions, just tell your humans to drop down to the front desk and ask.
