No Weight LimitInterContinental San Diego Dog Friendly Review
InterContinental San Diego holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and it opens its doors wide to dogs. All guest rooms can take dogs, there is no weight or size limit, and up to three dogs may share a room, with at most two small dogs and one large dog. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor patio areas, and right in front of the hotel is a grassy area the team encourages guests to use for relief breaks and quick walks. Several parks and green spaces are within walking distance, and staff recommend the waterfront walk to Seaport Village, with its views over San Diego Bay.
In the room you will find a dog bed and food and water bowls, so there is no need to pack your own, and complimentary waste bags are supplied for walks. The pet fee is $150 per stay and there is no separate pet damage deposit. The hotel sends its written pet policy ahead, and you sign it on arrival. Cats are welcome too.
Dogs are not allowed inside the restaurants, bars or lounges, and they may not be left alone in the room at any time, so meals out need planning. There is no dog walking or sitting service and no dog wash, and the hotel does not sell dog food. This stay suits an owner with a well behaved dog, or two or three, who loves a waterfront walk and is happy to keep the dog close all day, while anyone who needs to leave a dog in the room should look elsewhere.
