A great place, excellent location, and we'll create memories. Make sure to go to the beautiful pool deck!

“It's an absolutely lovely place that has a beautiful pool with views. It's a fun, active place during the day and at night it sparkles and is low-key. A lot of people are at dinner, so you can go to the pool and just be there with a few people. The jacuzzi is excellent, the service is nice, and it's quiet. The gym is nice and enough for what you need. One of the greatest is the walking! You can walk all over, and I walked to Two Harbors and got a good view of the city. It's just an excellent location. The staff is very kind, and when there were lines, they brought in more people. They also did some important printouts for business. I recommend the Pendry and I will be back”
Worth knowing: The rooms were a little bit small, but they were beautifully appointed — beautiful wallpapers and bathroom and just lovely
Quartz to the Rescue!!

“Incredible experience for my wedding weekend. Quartz the manager was aware that I was getting married and recognized that I wanted it to be extra special. Quartz did everything possible to ensure this, and during my 3 day stay consistently went the extra mile. However, I would avoid booking a cabana, especially if they try puting you in Cabana #8. We made our reservation 2 months in advance and we showed up and the Pool Manager (Terrell) tried putting us in another cabana that was absolutely terrible. It was right by the front desk entrance/exit. There were stains on the pool cushions, zero privacy and there were pool chemicals visible on the other side of the cabana wall. Once I explained that we would be staying in Cabana #3 which we had received an email confirmation, the pool manager explained that it had been double booked. I dug in my heals in a polite, civil way and explained that I wanted my original cabana. The pool manager then walked us over to Cabana #3 and had us sit with the other party that also had a reservation for Cabana #3. It was super akward sitting there with the other party. We just sat there for 20-30 minutes waiting for some kind of communication from Terrell. That never happened. Instead he just stood in the distance frozen with terror. Eventaully one of the more experienced servers (Jenny-Total Rock Star) came to my wife and I explained the situation and what she thought might be some possible options. Our conversation was civil and friendly. We were moved to a daybed and were treated to dinner which was a nice touch. Why did that happen? It happened because Quartz came up to the pool to talk to us and come up with solutions. What was super fascinating was that Terrell the Pool Manager walked up with Quartz and then walked away. This was an opportunity to learn and Terrell just wasn't interested in us. Throughout the day he walked by us. I counted 5 times, and not once did he check in us. Simply shocking. We had dinner at Lion Fish that night and got the VIP treatment. Sam the Manager made our night feel very special. We had a great table with a great server (Michael). The food was AMAZING! Speaking of food. In the 3 days we stayed there, we ate at all of the restaraunts; the only thing we didn't do was room service. The quality and consistency of the food was 10/10 every expereince. Each time I went to breakfast, I got something different....And each time it was just great!! I live in San Diego and will definitely go back to any of the restaraunts on property. Finally, need to mention Cristina the Conceriege. She also played a pivotal role in making my wedding weekend extremely special. She also saw us at breakfast the morning after our wedding night and walked up to congratulate us; such a classy touch! All in all, I would highly recommend The Pendry and look forward to staying at this property in other cities. Pendry represents class, style and quality....Just avoid reserving a pool cabana.”
