The Dog Mahal was a great little spot for my family getaway. Comfortable and affordable studio dwellings for three and our pooch. Situated across the street from the sand and surf, and steps from Dog Beach. We were able to walk to OB cafes and restaurants, and access freeways easily to get around San Diego. The noise from air traffic wasn't too bad, but public beach parking is across the street, and there was a surf competition happening when we went, so we were woken up pretty early and kept up pretty late on the weekend. Otherwise, great little beach spot that is pet friendly and conveniently close to everything. Would definitely recommend and plan to stay there again!
