Host Hotel

The Holiday Inn at Roberts Centre in Wilmington Ohio is now accepting reservations for our 2023 National Specialty week. Please note the block sells out quickly (or so we have been advised by other groups). All reservations must be guaranteed with a credit card. Reservations made after September 3rd will be taken on based on availability, and may not be at the negotiated group rate. 

• We have a negotiated room rate of $129.00 per night plus taxes and fees.
• If available, the rates apply three days prior to the specialty dates (September 24-29) and up to three days following.
• The hotel will permit up to 4 dogs in each room, provided that they are all crated. A pet fee of 35.00 will be charged per room. Additional fees will apply if any guest is found to be bathing, grooming or using hotel towels for the purpose of grooming, or if housekeeping finds any dog has been left unattended while not in a crate. 
• Guests may reserve a maximum of 2 rooms, the hotel will do their best to honor location requests, but will not guarantee a specific location.

Hotel Rules

Host Hotel Rules: Having a great hotel to host our National is a privilege. Let’s all be respectful and adhere to the following hotel rules:

1. All dogs left unattended in hotel guest rooms must be crated.
   
2. Plastic must be under all crates.
   
3. No more than six (6) dogs in a room.
   
4. Housekeepers will NOT have to service rooms in which dogs are loose and unattended. Additionally, they are required to report this rule violation to hotel management and rooms with loose dogs will be charged a higher pet fee in addition to any assessments for damage or destruction to the room, including, but not limited to, damage to sheets, towels, floors/carpets, walls, and furniture.
   
5. There shall be no bathing or grooming of dogs in the hotel rooms. Dogs will be bathed only in designated areas for dog washing. Any evidence of dog bathing/grooming in the hotel rooms will be assessed an excessive room cleaning fee.
   
6. Dogs are not permitted in any of the hotel recreation areas, including swimming pools, food & beverage areas, or any other “non-dog” area.
   
7. All dog waste must be picked up by the dog owner/handler and put in the provided trash receptacles. Doggy/poop bags will be provided.
   
8. Convention Center doors must be closed during event hours for the safety of the dogs. The facility takes NO responsibility to ensure doors remain closed.
   
9. 9. No exercise pens are permitted around the front of Royal Canin Ring or the Holiday Inn Hotel and exercise pens around the perimeter of the entire building are strongly discouraged. Failure to adhere to the above rules will be deemed abuse of a hotel facility, and as such, falls within the guidelines of "Dealing with Misconduct," which may also result in a Show Bench Committee Hearing.
