Well, our rooftop pool deck is designed to let you make an even bigger splash, but we do it with craft cocktails, delectable small bites and a buzz-worthy scene where DJ''s spin the soundtrack.So we need to point out: Something you won''t find on the menu here though is quiet time and a kid-friendly environment, so if you''re looking for more Legoland and less small batch whiskey we suggest you check out one of our sister property more suited to your stay.OK, so now that you know how fun and frivolous we are, we invite you to enjoy a true San Diego hot spot that''s just steps from your room, our infinity pool on the fourth floor.
