英语新闻视频：豪华宠物狗酒店 为狗狗提供优质服务

　　The Royvon Pet Hotel in Wales charges 45 US dollars a night for luxury rooms which come complete with bed and flat-screen TV.

　　Welcome to the Royvon Country retreat in Merthyr Tydfil, it’s a five-star luxury hotel like no other.

　　All the residents here are of the four-legged kind, but don’t be fooled - they still receive the same level of service you’d expect from any other boutique hotel.

　　This is the hotel’s top room, The Presidential Suite¹, which comes complete with its own 24-inch flat-screen television, designer wall paper and framed artwork.

　　Next door is perfect for the kids. Toto’s Toy Room is brightly decorated with lots of fun accessories. And a bright pink bed is a comfortable place to rest after a hard day’s play.

　　The Waikiiki Wing offers an exotic Hawaiian theme, with a comfortable doggy bed providing a place to gazeout over the beach view.

　　Sarah Draper with Royvon Dog Hotel said, "We decided² to open a luxury hotel mainly for people who don’t board their dog in kennels³, because they don’t like the environment. So we’ve designed four rooms, all individually designed with webcams and TVs, so it’s good for your older guests or dogs that are nervous or people who just want that peace of mind they can see their dog anytime of day and log onto the webcams."

　　Owners of dogs staying at the hotel can simply log-on and see instantly what their beloved pet is up to on the webcam.

　　Dog owner Debra Mathews said, "It’s fantastic, it’s reassuring⁴ - look at him. You know that he is happy, he still got the same personality, really cheeky, adventurous⁵, as you can see up on the furniture. I’m able to look at him 24/7, there’s always staff available if that there is something wrong I could give them a phone call and ask them to check on him."

　　Many of the hotel’s guests travel a long way to stay here. Some dogs even book in once each day for a quick makeover.

　　And when the sun shines there’s always an opportunity to cool off with your canine⁶ friends in one of the popular water facilities.

　　This unique hotel has become quite popular, and with luxury rooms in demand all year round, those hoping to put their dog up in a big way, are advised to book early.
