The Hilton Garden Inn San Francisco Airport North in South San Francisco is a straightforward choice if you are flying in or out of SFO and need to stay nearby with your dog. They accept dogs and you can bring up to two as long as their combined weight does not exceed 80 pounds. There is a pet fee of $75 per stay, which is a one-time charge regardless of how many nights you are there.

The location works well for airport trips since you are close enough to SFO that you will not spend long driving or waiting for a shuttle. South San Francisco has several dog-friendly restaurants you can enjoy while you’re here as well.

The Hilton Garden Inn has a gym, business center, and complimentary breakfast. There is enough space around the property that your dog will have room to move around before or after your flight, and you will want to check what grassy areas are available for bathroom breaks. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and after a long travel day with your dog, that is usually exactly what you need.

For walks beyond the immediate hotel grounds, the surrounding area is mostly commercial, so plan accordingly if you want a longer outing. If you have time before catching a flight, there are dog parks and trails in the wider area worth checking out with a short drive.
