Behind the Throne: Why We Are a Pet-Free Boutique Stay in Toledo, Ohio

When searching for a boutique hotel in Toledo, Ohio, travelers often look for charm, comfort, and character. At The Kings Throne Inn & Guest House, those elements are rooted in something even deeper — preservation.

As a historic bed and breakfast in Toledo’s Old West End, the home was built in 1892. Original woodwork, staircases, and architectural details remain intact more than a century later. Protecting that history is not just aesthetic — it’s responsibility.

One of the most common questions we receive is:

“Are you pet-friendly?”

The short answer: we are a pet-free property.

The thoughtful answer is more important.

Preserving a Historic Home in Toledo’s Old West End

Historic homes breathe differently than modern construction. Floors shift with seasons. Original trim carries 130+ years of craftsmanship. Restoring and maintaining this space requires constant care.

Allowing pets, while wonderful in many lodging environments, introduces additional wear on original hardwood floors, antique staircases, and upholstered furnishings. Even the most well-behaved animals can unintentionally cause scratching, allergens, or lingering scents that are difficult to remove from century-old materials.

As a small boutique lodging property in Toledo, Ohio, we make decisions based on long-term preservation.

Guests choose The Kings Throne because it offers something different from a traditional hotel in Toledo.

There are:
