10/10 Excellent

"Clean room great amenities and bike rentals"

Pendry San Diego

8/10 Good

"The so called Amenity fee is supposed to include free coffee, but they limit it from 5 - 8 am and if it runs out before 8 am, they don't refill it. This felt like a bait and switch. Otherwise, the room was great and the pool was nice. The gym was excellent. We chose not to eat at the restaurants due to the price gauging, but found many other great places to spend our money while downtown. I wouldn't recommend this hotel because it felt like they were trying to nickel and dime the guest, who already paid a top end price to stay."

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

8/10 Good

"Everything was great clean room staff was great but I didn’t like that the hotel room didn’t have a better shower. It had a shower/tub. Other than that it was great"
