We absolutely loved our stay at The Park on Main! It’s such a beautiful, charming boutique hotel, and the location couldn’t be better. Everything is so walkable, which made it perfect for exploring with our dogs. 🐾 Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and our dogs were treated like little VIPs the entire stay. They loved all the attention! Having a dog park just down the street was an added bonus and made the stay even better. We’ll definitely be back — it’s the perfect spot for a getaway with your dogs! ❤️🐶

This hotel is a Gem in the Highlands! Excellent location! Outstanding Service! Their Complementary Breakfast had a great variety of options. The rooms and all the common areas including elevators were impeccably clean at all times! Even though this hotel caters to dogs and I don't own a dog, there was not a scent of dogs in the rooms or anywhere else and I did not hear one single dog bark. This was my first visit to The Highlands with my daughter and her babies. The room we got offered all the necessary accommodations for our needs. The Hotel has a gorgeous courtyard! What a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere! Kristi, the manager and whole staff where extremely professional and helpful!!! Thanks for making my stay a great one! I will be back !!

I would give more than 5 stars if I could! Park on Main hosted my entire wedding party and family when we did a full hotel buyout for my wedding weekend in April. They exceeded all of our expectations, and went above and beyond for us! They worked with us leading up to wedding weekend to make sure the hotel was stocked and ready with the items that we needed. They even went as far as planting blue flowers to match our wedding colors at the hotel! The staff was extremely generous and kind. They all went above and beyond to make sure our stay and wedding weekend was perfect. I genuinely could not say enough great things about this hotel, the staff, the location, and the rooms! The major plus is that it is super dog friendly, allowing us to bring our 3 dogs for the entire wedding weekend! We can't wait to be back at Park on Main soon!

I cannot say enough about Park on Main. We do not have a pet we travel with and neither do our friends. But staying here was such a pleasure seeing everyone with fur babies. The rooms are clean and no sign of pets being here. No odors, no mess, very clean. Also very quiet location. The rooms are spacious, well decorated and appointed. The lobby pays tribute to pets with framed paintings of dogs. Doggie biscuits and water available Nice coffee bar, with tea, soft drinks and juices complimentary. Continental breakfast comes with your stay. Beautiful place, beautiful gardens with fountain. No reason not to choose this hotel. And a parking garage..perfect if it is raining or just for security.

This is a very nice hotel. I didn't realize it was a "super dog friendly" hotel until I saw dog bowls and a dog bed in our room. In my experience most dog friendly hotels smell like dogs. The Park on Main DOES NOT smell like dogs. They seem to make a huge effort to keep everything spic and span. We appreciated free juices, milk, and water all day, as well as the cookies that are often available in the lobby. The breakfast looked good, but we did not partake. The Main St location is excellent.
