Pendry San Diego
We had a great time at our stay here. Our room was stylish and well appointed and the staff was both attentive and down-to-earth. The breakfast at the connected restaurant was great too. Parking downtown can be difficult, so I would stick with valet if you can. I would stay here again in SD.
