NOTE: All downtown San Diego hotels have parking fees. The Crown City Inn does not. There are several pet friendly hotels north of the San Diego downtown area. More moderately priced ones can be found in the Mission Valley area which is convenient for Sea World and Old Town (by car), but are not within walking distance to shops, restaurants and attractions. Visit one of Lana's Pet Travel Reservation Web Site Picks to find pet friendly hotels in other areas around San Diego.

Lana's Favorite Pet Friendly San Diego Restaurant
C-Level at Island Prime, 880 Harbor Island Drive, for lunch or dinner. The view of the sailboats in San Diego Harboror is the best. Dogs are welcome on the patio in C-Level. Always check first to ensure policies haven't changed.
