This hotel has set the bar extremely high for my business and personal travel. Everyone was very helpful and accomodating. The best hotel stay experience I've ever had! I love this place!

Michele Yerkes from the Pendry reached out to me on June 9 asking if we were celebrating a special occasion and "to assist in anything you may need to have an outstanding stay". I let her know we were celebrating my fiance's birthday (June 20) and that we were hoping to take advantage of the noon check in and complimentary room upgrade that booking through Amex awards us. I received a reply from Michele saying she advised the front desk of our early arrival. Upon checking in at 12:15pm on June 21, we were informed by the front desk that there was a room immediately available on the 2nd floor but if we wanted to be on a higher floor (seventh) that we'd have to wait until the room was ready. We elected to wait until the room on the seventh floor became ready (even though we weren't happy with this since we've always been upgraded to floor 10 or above). When the room on floor seven became available, we were very disappointed with the view. The view of the particular room we purchased (corner king) on the website shows a view of San Diego Bay and the skyline. The view from the room on the seventh floor was of restaurants across the street. We were informed that we were not able to receive a complimentary upgrade to any other room (despite them having availability) because the available rooms weren't in the same "class" as the corner king. We have been upgraded to rooms outside of a specific "class" in the past. We ended up paying an additional $500 per night to upgrade to a room with a bay view and the Pendry did absolutely nothing to celebrate my fiance's birthday. Why even reach out to ask if there's any way to make our stay amazing/outstanding/memorable if they didn't even follow through with their ask? This was our 4th time staying at the Pendry and booking through Amex, and we have always been able to get into our room at noon and have always been upgraded to floor 10 or higher (always with a bay view). To say we were disappointed with the service we received this time around is a severe understatement.

The rooms are beautifully decorated, the pillows were very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and made my stay truly amazing. I will definitely consider Pendry as my first option in the future.

I would like to share a really bad experience I had while staying at Pendry in San Diego. At checkout, they charged me twice for my room, and after several escalations, they finally admitted they made a mistake. Now, I need to wait for 20 days for them to return my money. This is really unexpected for today’s operations.

I had a wonderful stay at the Pendry Hotel San Diego. The hotel was spotless and beautifully maintained—everything felt fresh, stylish, and upscale. The service truly stood out; every staff member I interacted with was friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure a great experience. The location is another major plus—centrally located in the Gaslamp Quarter, it was easy to explore restaurants, shops, and local attractions. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Diego.
