This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A 210-room hacienda-style resort on ten acres of gardens across from UCSD, holding an AAA Four Diamond rating. It suits travellers who want space and gardens and are bringing a big dog. Dogs of any size, weight or breed are welcome, which is rare at this level anywhere in San Diego. They can order from a dog menu on the Mustangs and Burros patio.

Why it's in the collection

No size limit at all, and ten acres of gardens and courtyards to walk on site, which matters here because the Torrey Pines reserve nearby bans dogs completely.

Best suited for

Two dogs of any size, weight or breed, no cats, and never left alone in the room.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Pet pricing

USD 200, Per stay, non-refundable, collected at registration

Dogs are welcome on the outdoor patio at Mustangs and Burros, where they can order from the dog menu. There is grass across the grounds for relief. A dog cannot be left alone in the room, and cats are not taken.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
