Hotel for Dogs

CriticsCritics: 49
AudienceAudience: 5.7

A sister and her younger brother, living in foster care, secretly shelter their beloved dog after learning pets are not allowed in their new home. They turn an abandoned hotel into a refuge for strays, with clever gadgets and help from new friends, while trying to keep their growing canine haven hidden from the authorities.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this cheerful family adventure if you love dogs, playful gadgets, and a warm-hearted story; Not for you if you want realistic drama or a plot that avoids familiar clichés.
