The Comfort Inn & Suites in Ukiah sits on the eastern edge of town near the airport, which means quieter surroundings than you’d get downtown but still easy access to the surrounding wine country and hiking. The building itself is a clean, straightforward two-story motor lodge with a small heated pool—useful on cool Mendocino County mornings—and most rooms come with either a microwave and refrigerator or a full kitchenette, which cuts down on restaurant runs when you’re traveling with a dog who needs frequent breaks.

Dogs stay for a flat fee per room, per night, regardless of size or number (within reason). The hotel designates specific pet rooms, so let the front desk know you’re arriving with a dog when you book. Rooms are standard motel fare: cable TV, coffeemaker, and decent beds. The pool area is off-limits to dogs, but you’ll have direct access from your room to the property’s grassy perimeter, which works fine for a quick morning or evening walk.

For longer walks, the Ukiah Valley Trail runs north-south through town about a mile west of the hotel—paved, flat, and used by locals with dogs regularly. Parducci Wine Cellars sits roughly two miles south on Airport Park Boulevard itself and allows leashed dogs in their outdoor garden areas. The area around the hotel is mostly commercial (car rental agencies, small shops), so your dog won’t find sidewalk scenery particularly compelling, but it’s reliable and functional as a base if you’re exploring inland Mendocino County. Ukiah sits at roughly 600 feet elevation and can get surprisingly warm in summer despite morning fog, so plan your walks accordingly.
