The Pool at Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

"Two pools, several sports courts for basketball, tennis, and volleyball, a Marilyn Monroe spa, a 24-hour market, and seven restaurants and bars mean you don't have to leave the hotel"

"Rooftop pools, Kin Spa, and several restaurants draw families and couples, though the fees for parking and Wi-Fi can add up"

"The Manchester also has a full-service spa and a fourth-floor pool deck with hot tubs and fire pits for roasting s’mores"

"The most prominent hotel along the waterfront, a pair of gleaming white slabs of luxury with all the top-notch amenities: pool, spas, health club, several restaurants and lounges, and rooms with expansive views of the bay"

"Largely frequented by business travelers attending events at the neighboring San Diego Convention Center, this majestic tower offers stunning ocean and city views, a full-service spa, tennis courts, swimming pool and more than 125,000 square feet of meeting space"

""They don't call it grand for nothing" say fans of this Marina District chain member, which sports a "spectacular view" from its rooftop bar/pool and, with "amenities galore", attracts both vacationers and business travelers (it's near the convention center); nitpickers snipe that rooms are "average" for the price, but beds are "luxurious", and "superior" customer service ensures guests "truly feel welcomed"

"In addition to the large outdoor pool, health and wellness options include bike rentals, a fitness center and Kin Spa with locally flavored treatments like the Baja & Beyond Body Wrap"

"Though the pool complex on the third-floor terrace lacks the theatrics of the nearby Marriott's, the feeling is nonetheless escapist, with the pool and whirlpool affording loggia-framed marina views and a corner bar for cool refreshment"
