Traveling with a pet in San Francisco doesn't have to empty your wallet. The city offers a range of affordable hotels that welcome you and your furry companion-many without sacrificing location or essential comforts. Staying in central neighborhoods like Union Square or SoMa puts you close to cable car lines, Chinatown, and Moscone Center, while keeping your nightly rate within budget.
These budget-friendly hotels typically provide free WiFi, daily housekeeping, and 24-hour front desk service, with some even featuring on-site dining, fitness centers, or outdoor pools. For example, the Cartwright Hotel Union Square - BW Premier Collection, a guest favorite, sits just steps from Union Square and includes free WiFi plus a no-resort-fee policy, while the Handlery Union Square Hotel places you near the Powell Street cable car line and offers family rooms. With rates often starting around $100 per night, you can keep your stay affordable and still enjoy the best of the city.
