Service animals
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ada.gov), a service animal is a dog individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability; trained miniature horses are also covered. Hotel staff may ask only whether the dog is required because of a disability and what task it has been trained to perform. A hotel that charges pet fees or deposits must waive them for service animals, but may charge for damage. Dogs whose only role is comfort or emotional support are not service animals under the ADA. Marriott.com states that the Marriott Waterfront and the Westin accept service animals without a fee or documentation, and hyatt.com states that the Hyatt Regency exempts them from its pet fees and policy.
Pets on BART and in the airport
BART requires all pets that are not service animals, including emotional support dogs, to travel in a secure, enclosed carrier made for transporting pets. Service animals must be on a leash or harness and stay off seats and out of aisles. The AirTrain and the hotel shuttles do not publish pet rules on the pages checked for this guide; ask the hotel before you travel with a pet on its shuttle. SFO lists its animal relief areas and terminal rules for animals on flysfo.com; they were not confirmed for this guide.
Getting to the hotel with a pet
The Grand Hyatt is the only hotel reached by the AirTrain without a road transfer. For the other five, the SFO to city transfer guide lists shuttle times, BART, taxis and rideshare. If you are also travelling with children, the family hotels guide covers cribs, pools and breakfast at the same six hotels.
