Rumour has it that Belleville is going to the dogs...or, more
accurately, that the dogs are going to Belleville. Located in
Ontario's beautiful Quinte region, Belleville's reputation as the
'Friendly City' certainly holds true for visitors with pets. It
comes as no surprise, given the area's magnificent surroundings and
numerous attractions - the beaches of Prince Edward County,
Sandbanks Provincial Park, and a plethora of local farm markets and
stands to investigate. But when it comes to where to stay in
Belleville, be it with your dog, cat, rabbit or bird for that
matter, one establishment stands heads and tails above the rest -
the Ramada Inn On the Bay Conference Resort.
Located right on the Bay of Quinte, and led by General Manager Ron
Anderson, Front Office Manager Arlene Maybee and their team of
dedicated staff members, the Ramada Inn On the Bay is committed to
ensuring that their two-legged and four-legged guests feel right at
home. Pet guests are welcomed with treats at check-in, and
food/water bowls and pet waste bags are readily available. In
addition to a 1 1/4 mile scenic walking trail that runs adjacent to
the property and a nearby park, the City of Belleville Parks and
Recreation has created a
fenced-in off-leash dog park right on the grounds. "We love to spoil
our pet guests." comments Maybee. "Our staff are true animal lovers.
It's not uncommon for one of them to offer to pet sit behind the
front desk, while the owner steps out for a bite to eat."
But
it's not just the pets that get the royal treatment at this
establishment. The full-service hotel offers its human guests an
outstanding array of services and amenities, including a fitness
club with whirlpool and sauna, two restaurants, a lounge, an outdoor
pool and patio, and the only hotel waterslide in town ("one-stop
shopping" says Maybee). The property's 125 guestrooms are
well-appointed, with free high speed wireless internet and private
balconies, and the hotel also offers tennis courts and a children's
playground for younger members of the family. with its proximity to
Prince Edward County's notable wine country, the hotel even arranges
self-guided tours of the area for guests.
"We
know that pets are like members of the family." adds Maybee. "Our
hotel is a great choice for travellers with pets, with our great
location on the water for swimming, nearby parks, and our wonderful
staff that provide the best service possible to every member of the
family." Arlene even plans to add pet care packages with leashes and
pet dishes to their current pet program.
Upcoming events in Belleville include the
Waterfront Festival in July,
numerous acts at the city's
Empire Theatre, and the Annual
Quinte Exhibition during Labour Day Weekend. Guests at the Ramada
can also take in scheduled entertainment right in the property's own
Terrace Lounge.
