Depends on what you’re looking for
Empress Hotel of La JollaPros: comfy bed, friendly front desk and valet staff, breakfast included. Cons: The hotel wants to be dog friendly, but there is no grass immediately outside the hotel (though there is a park nearby). It’s in the middle of all the action and very busy, and the only way in and out is the front door (when we usually try to take our dog out through a less trafficked exit because he can be skittish). Their website says they accept dogs up to 65 pounds, but I feel like it would be much easier with a small dog. We enjoyed our stay and are grateful to everyone there but probably wouldn’t stay again (though the beach is incredible!).
Great Place For Dogs!
Quality Inn FairmontThey went out of their way before we arrived to make sure we had a room that would be good for us and our pupper and had a “Woof Woof” bag waiting for us at check-in made by local kids (part of the pet fee even goes to the local Humane Society!). Highly recommend.
Our Go-to In The Denver Area
Aloft Broomfield DenverWe stay here with our dog at least once a month. The rooms are comfy and safe, they have dog beds, bowls, and treats, and they’re usually pretty friendly. Only reason not 5 stars is that all of the rooms are 2nd floor and up so it can be a challenge getting the doggo out, but not a big deal.

Baymont by Wyndham Lubbock - Downtown Civic CenterYou never really know what you’re going to get with LaQuintas. Some are nice, and some... not so much. I like the lack of pet fees and the front desk clerk was really nice, but the sheets were super itchy and we found a bug that I’m not entirely convinced wasn’t a bed bug. Ick. Pay a little more somewhere else and be more comfortable.
Just Okay
Sand Rose Beach ResortWe stayed here for 5 nights and checked out this morning. The pros: fantastic housekeeping, steps from the beach, no pet fee, breakfast included. The cons: front desk clerk who checked us in was not very nice, but biggest con was that you have to take your dog through the hotel and busy pool patio to get out to the beach or through the hotel and out the front door to get to a small area of grass. They have a great path on the side that could be utilized to take dogs out and avoid the crowds, but it was locked with a bicycle lock. When I asked why, they said the front door needs to be the only exit and entrance. A real bummer.
