My dog Cici would not stay there… The Heritage Marina, located downtown San Frarncisco about a 15-minute walk from Fisherman’s Wharf named dirtiest hotel in US for 2010.
Rounding out TripAdvisor’s 10 dirtiest U.S. hotels are the Days Inn Eureka/Six Flags, Eureka, Mo.; Tropicana Resort Hotel and Super 8 Virginia Beach/At the Ocean, Virginia Beach; Quality Inn, Stroudsburg, Pa.; New York Inn, New York (down from No. 3 last year); Parisian Hotel & Suites, Miami Beach; Capistrano Seaside Inn, Capistrano Beach, Calif.; Desert Lodge, Palm Springs, Calif.; and Continental Oceanfront Hotel South Beach, Miami Beach.

My personal list of dirtiest pet friendly motels/hotels for $50-100 a night are:
Motel 6, 1934 Broadway, Eureka, CA 95501, Eureka
Holiday Inn on the Bay, San Diego
Red Roof Inn, Watsonville
Motel 6, Rohnert Park
Motel 6, Irvine (airport)
Red Roof Inn, Ontario
There are some clean, basic and decent Motel 6′s but I prefer Red Roof Inn, when they are decent such as Red Roof Inn, Rancho Cordova (Sacramento area). Also if you join the Red Roof Inn Redicard program, you can actually get complimentary stays for your dollars.
here’s a list of pet friendly chains (why Motel 6 is #1 is crazy, but I suppose it is just because they have the most locations (900)…
