I stayed one week solo. All the staff--from front desk to housekeeping to bartenders--were lovely to me. Wish I would have asked what kind of mattress it was because it was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've had and I slept like the dead. I also really liked the option to text the front desk for any needs like housekeeping, room service, ice, etc. They were very prompt. Excellent little restaurant/bar, Ponyboy. The vibes were vibing. Thank you, Pearl and staff!

This was my second time staying here. Just a satisfied a the first stay. Check in was easy and the desk clerk was very nice. The room was very clean. I like that it is a very small property. Dinner was good. The breakfast was fresh and light. Will be making another trip to San Diego in a few months and will be staying here again.

The Pearl Hotel in San Diego is a charming and stylish boutique hotel that offers a unique and memorable stay. Our room was thoughtfully designed and well-appointed, featuring a comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. The staff were well-trained, professional, and genuinely attentive, making us feel welcomed throughout our stay. One of the standout features is the popular happy hour, which attracts both guests and locals with great drinks and a lively, relaxed atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would definitely visit again.

The main attraction here is the restaurant. The hotel just exists around it. The restaurant plays music on a big screen and seats people around the pool. This means noise from people, music , movies gies on late into the night. Major drawback to staying here. Frint desk personnel not particularly friendly or helpful

Such a sweet and simple yet thoughtful little hotel! Seems to be one of the only ‘newer’ hotels in the area that appreciate design and ambiance. The chain hotels nearby could never compare. Loved the mid century vibe and how clean the design is. Makes it so peaceful and relaxing.

Our room was damp. There was no extra lock on the siding glass door and we were on the street level. Blood on the pillowcase. No extra washcloths. Few hangers and no drawers. No refrigerator or in room coffee. Not enough space around the bathroom sink to unpack a travel kit. It was really uncomfortable for an 8 day stay.

An all round ok stay.

Pro’s - fun decor and good vibes in the bar. Smart room design. Comfortable bed. Restaurants within walking distance and good base to explore San Diego downtown, little Italy and la jolla. Negatives - the sheets were threadbare, and had a blood stain. The extra charges (whilst not a surprise) are a lot for a 3 star motel. My bill was $80 extra after 2 nights (only 1 night parking). Thin walls.

Room was very nice, clean and spacious. Problem was that this hotel offers a dinner experience below the room. It was very, very loud. A birthday celebration had screaming, well loud birthday singing which we found annoying. Breakfast : 2nd day stay- bagels which is the big breakfast offering hadn't been delivered- desk clerk was cold and didn't seem to care. Since, the hotel has a restaurant go in the back and put out some bread for toast ( problem solved) . My guy went across to Winchell's, we enjoyed morning donuts. Location: great location and area.

Very friendly staff, but the restaurant availability was spotty. One night, they closed early and Monday morning, no breakfast service was available even though advertised as being open from 7:30 to 10:00. I got there at 8:00. Also, there are only 5 parking spots available for the 10 rooms. On the plus side, there's a pool and it's in a quiet part of town.

The service leaves a little something to be desired. It’s has such a great vibe, but the service doesn’t quite match. Also the shower bottles didn't pump well which was a little aggravating.
