Cannon Beach, United States
Jupiter Hotel Portland in Portland, United States

You could throw a rock and hit a dog-friendly hotel in Portland, no just kidding that's not true, but there are a lot to choose from. This is nicer than your average stay, but not too expensive and central in town. Others that come to mind are McMenamins, Staypineapple at the Rose Hotel, Kimpton Hotel Monaco, and The Sentinel.

Dog Bowl in Portland, United States

This area is for the dogs you can really trust to stay around you, it is not fenced in. Additionally, there are side trails that lead down the bluffs on the other side. Now that we got that out of the way, this is a hidden gem for sunsets and just a really great place to see the river and Forest Park across the way.
