Traveling to San Antonio on a budget doesn't mean leaving your dog behind. Several hotels in the city cater to pet owners without breaking the bank. Expect rates starting around $100 per night, especially if you book in advance or visit during the off-peak season. Key areas to consider include the Lackland AFB district, where properties like Candlewood Suites - San Antonio Lackland AFB Area by IHG offer kitchens and indoor pools, or the central Riverwalk area, where Hotel Contessa - Suites on the Riverwalk provides suites with full amenities and a pet-friendly policy.
For a cheap stay that allows dogs, look for hotels with basic amenities like free Wi-Fi, parking, and fitness centers. The Westin San Antonio North and The Emily Morgan Hotel - A DoubleTree by Hilton are solid mid-range options with pet policies and on-site dining. Focus on chains like Candlewood Suites or budget-friendly brands that explicitly list pet allowances. Always confirm the pet fee and weight limits before booking, and consider booking directly for the best rates.
