I enjoyed my stay at Pendry San Diego, especially their friendly staff and beautiful amenities, but there were definitely some quirks. While my room was spacious and elegantly designed, the bathroom layout was a bit impractical, and my housekeeping experience wasn't always consistent. Overall, it's a stunning hotel in a prime location but could improve on a few service details.

The facilities were impressive, especially the rooftop pool area. However, I felt the mini bar's strict stocking policy limited my ability to keep cold drinks, which was inconvenient given the warm weather.

My stay at Pendry San Diego was a mix of high-end luxury and some minor inconveniences. The beautifully designed rooms and excellent staff made for an enjoyable experience, though I did encounter some noise from nearby nightlife. I appreciated the thoughtful touches like complimentary water and chocolates upon arrival, but I did wish for a bit more privacy in the bathroom.

Pendry's location in the Gaslamp District makes it perfect for nightlife and events. However, it can get quite noisy late into the night, so light sleepers may want to consider this before booking.

While Pendry offers impressive amenities, I found the rooftop pool experience less enjoyable due to its size and the need for early reservations. It seemed better suited for a younger crowd looking for a party atmosphere.

My stay at Pendry San Diego had its highlights, particularly with the friendly and attentive staff. However, I found the overall experience didn't quite match the five-star rating due to room size and some service inconsistencies.
