Hotel Indigo Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Indigo in San Diego holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog friendliness, and it earns that standing with a genuinely welcoming approach rather than a token one. Dogs are invited into the rooftop bar, the breakfast restaurant and the lounge, and the hotel points out it is conveniently located close to Petco Park and Gallagher Square, giving you proper outdoor spaces for walks. There is also a designated pet-walking area on site, and the hotel provides a document outlining nearby parks, green spaces and local facilities, which makes planning your dog's day a good deal easier.
Day to day, your room comes with a dog bed and food and water bowls, and you'll find welcome treats provided for your dog on arrival. Almost all guest rooms welcome dogs, so you are unlikely to be restricted to a small pocket of the hotel. The rooftop bar's outdoor seating, including the space by the firepits, is open to your dog provided he stays on a leash, and the breakfast restaurant welcomes you both between 6:30am and 10am. The hotel can also help arrange grooming through two recommended facilities. The dog fee is $100.00 for the stay, which is fair given the range of spaces and extras on offer, and there is no damage deposit required.
Set against this, a weight limit applies, capped at 75 lbs, so larger dogs are not permitted. More importantly, pets may not be left unattended in guest rooms at any time, which rules out stepping out without your dog during the stay. There is no dog wash or shower area, no dog-walking service, no poop bags supplied and no dog toys, so you will need to come prepared for the practical side of things yourself. This stay suits an owner with a smaller, well mannered dog who wants a sociable hotel with real spaces to relax together and is happy to always have their dog in tow. Owners who need to leave their dog alone in the room, or who travel with a larger breed, should look elsewhere.
