We travel to San Francisco several times a year, and on the occasional visit that includes our small dogs, we stay at the Laurel Inn. The Laurel Inn is located on the corner of California and Presidio...in Laurel Heights, bordering Presdio and Pacific Heights...a safe, mostly residential neighborhood, one block from the shops, restaurants, and movie theater on Sacramento Street . Easy MUNI access.
The lobby of the hotel is quite small and rather austere, but the interior corridors are spacious, quiet, beautifullly decorated.. while every room we have stayed in at the Laurel Inn has been oversized, some with city views, elegantly decorated, plush linens and simply beautiful bathrooms. The somewhat recent remodeling of the bathrooms includes gorgeous tile work, beautiful counter tops, high quality fixtures. We are always very comfortable at the Laurel Inn on those occasional visits when we must bring our small dogs. Very, very dog friendly.
Added plus is the safe and secure garage parking on the ground floor. However the only grassy areas for dog walking is the university property around the corner, and the wells around the city street trees lining the sidewalks. If you stay here with doggies, expect to be creative in finding nearby grassy areas; it is manageable though.
Another plus...Ella's across the street.
