Dog-Friendly Hotels in San Diego: Pet Policies & Fees
Dog-friendly hotels in San Diego differ substantially in pet fees, weight limits, number of dogs allowed, and whether pets can be left unattended. The most useful way to compare them is by reading the current hotel policy rather than relying on a generic “pet-friendly” label.

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina

Margaritaville currently welcomes dogs under 75 pounds and allows up to two pets per stay. Its stated pet fee is $125 plus tax per stay, but the hotel’s current direct-booking promotion says pets stay free when the reservation is booked directly with the property.
Because the free-pet offer is promotional and may end, confirm it at booking. The hotel lists a dog bed, food and water bowls, bandana, and tennis ball among its pet amenities. Read the official Margaritaville San Diego pet policy.

How to Compare Dog-Friendly Hotels
- Pet fee: Compare per-night charges with per-stay fees, especially for longer trips.
- Dog limits: Check both the number of dogs and combined weight restrictions.
- Unattended-pet rules: Some hotels explicitly prohibit leaving pets alone in guestrooms.
- Location: A hotel near the beach may be more useful if your trip centers on Ocean Beach or Mission Bay.
- Promotions: Do not assume a temporary waived pet fee will still apply on your dates.
