The Pool at Hotel Republic San Diego, Autograph Collection

"The rooftop bar has well-crafted cocktails and a giant fire pit, but the pool is tiny by San Diego standards"

""Live rich, party rich" at this "luxury" Downtown "gem" that's "fab" and "modern", with rooms boasting "über-comfy" beds that make a stay "indulgent", even if critics think accommodations are on the "small" side; the "upbeat and trendy" vibe is accented by the rooftop bar featuring cabanas, an indoor/outdoor pool and heated sand – and it's all backed up by a "charming, super-accommodating" staff"

"The hotel offers a (very small) heated rooftop pool surrounded by lounge chairs and a fitness center, but the fees are high for Wi-Fi and parking"

"The best bets are perhaps the Partial Bay View rooms, though the oversized corner rooms come with two-person whirlpool tubs"
