What do you mean rooms are only $800/night and a day pass without a room is only $100 this is a great and affordable way to spend a day in Baltimore.../s

Can’t you just…walk in? I had no clue it was $100 just to go to the pool lmao.

I’ve walked in and gone to the back bar/pool no issue a couple times, never been charged

Yeah lol I’m pretty sure this is like the peak of privilege. I just walked in, acted like I belonged, and didn’t get a half glance.

there is a hotel near the inner harbor - can't remember the name, but my friends and I used to go in there and go swimming all the time and nobody said anything to us. That was back in the mid-90's though. One of my friends pissed on the hot rocks in the sauna once...smelled up the whole area.

And now you know why walkins are discouraged

indeed! 13 year old me thought it was hilarious, though. Mid-30's me still thinks it was pretty hilarious.

you can go to the bar, but why would any hotel pool be public?

often because nobody’s watching it

So if you have a pool in your yard, but you’re not watching it, it’s a public pool?

the prior comment is saying you can get away with going to hotel pools, and my response is in line with what they said, not about them literally being free to the public. but to try to give you an actual answer, i don't have a pool but what i've heard is that for liability reasons most home insurance policies want you to have a fence around your pool so that it's clear that a trespasser has crossed your fence to swim in your pool, in case they want to sue you for something after that.

I haven't checked since it opened but when they first opened it was $100 for a day pass if you weren't a guest at the hotel. Maybe that's gone or maybe they just don't check.

That’s to go to the pool itself. As long as there aren’t private events or something, you’re able to walk back and get drinks at the pool bar without paying any sort of day charge.

I went in and took pictures with friends at their pool at one time. Granted one of those friends was staying at the hotel, but there weren’t any guards guarding the pool or anything.

I ate at the pendry about 3 weeks ago and at least half the people eating in the restaurant were black.

Or maybe, it has everything to do with how you carry yourself and not the color of your skin. Look nice and walk in anywhere and you’ll get respect. Act like a fool, look like shit, and think everyone’s racist, well…you can get the fuck out or pay $100 to get in.

All jokes aside... Great local hack is to go post up to the outdoor bar at pendry (with swimsuits) and just tip the bartenders well, then use the pool free of charge. (Learned this first hand from those bartenders, they dont give a fuck)
