What guests think

Reviews of Pearl Street Hotel describe a very central, walkable location and generally friendly staff, alongside an aging property with inconsistent upkeep, where some rooms are clean and comfortable while others show wear, maintenance problems, and occasional cleanliness lapses.

Facilities are limited: the pool and hot tub are frequently closed, the on-site bar/restaurant is usually not operating, the gym is small and warm, and most parking relies on the adjacent ramp with hotel validation, with breakfast basic or unavailable. Guests note spacious layouts and comfortable beds, but recurring complaints include thin walls and nighttime street noise, temperamental AC or hot water, and missing toiletries in dispensers. Overall, expect a convenient downtown base with uneven quality and amenities.

The hotel is very basic, previously a Holiday Inn. Location is wonderful, but pool is no longer in service and neither is bar/restaurant. Also no breakfast. Was fine for us, but single a no frill hotel. Joel was clean and check in was quick. Parking is a half block away in a parking ramp.

We loved the location of the property. Parking was good and check-in was easy. The beds were comfortable and there was a fridge/microwave combo. That's where the positives ended. The bar/restaurant never opened in the 4 days we were there, so I assume it is permanently closed. We stayed in room 214. The only place we had a garbage can was in the bathroom which was weird but not a deal breaker. The walls are very thin and you hear everything happening in the hallway. Bathroom- Our tub did not drain quickly, so when you took a shower, the tub filled with water. The toilet bowl had a black ring around the water line and underside rim. The floor tiles were all loose in the bathroom, so they shifted when you walked. The gym- The A/C unit was not working, so it was extremely hot. There were ceiling tiles missing. Nothing was available to wipe down machines or weights when finished. No water fountain to fill water bottle. Only chose to use the gym for a short time and went elsewhere for other days. If was ok if you are just looking for a place to lay your head with great location. I will would not stay here again.

The beds had two different comforters. The soap dispensers were empty. The exercise room was a complete joke. The size of a closet. The pool was nowhere to be found. The restaurant was closed.The room down the hall had its door broken and left wide open all night. The person running the front desk was basically running everything by himself. It was so disappointing for what you charge! The elevators were filthy. There were so many things that were wrong it’s hard to name them all.

This worked out great for us. The location was perfect. Easy walk to Riverside Park. The only improvements could be the tub/shower (which needed replacement) , the Gym (which needed air conditioning) and the air vents in the hall (which needed cleaning). Staff, location and price made this a 4 for me.

Water was coming out of the ceiling all down the hallway. There as a short shower earlier in the day, but nothing that would create such a problem. All that was done is they placed garbage bins under some of the leaks. Also, your advertising states a bar on site, it was never open over our 2 night stay.

Room was fine. Great location downtown. If the parking lot is full, you can park in the ramp next door for free. General upkeep is lacking. Light bulbs burnt out, caulk cracking, no stoppers in the drains.

Incredibly loud rooms, could hear every time toilet next to us flushed all night. Room on back side of the hotel REEKED of Chinese food from neighboring restaurant. There were fights and loud bar yelling behind the hotel both nights 1130p-245a. Mold in the bathroom, shower curtain was dirty, tub had hair not ours in it upon arrival, sticky carpet, loose bathroom tiles, dirt in all corners, tv had no cable. The only minor plus was bed was comfortable and location was a good walking distance to the main downtown attractions.

The check in process was smooth, and parking was plentiful and free in the ramp with validation from the hotel. Small selection of chips and drinks for purchase. The room had been cleaned, but overall was in need of a remodel. Many things were old, broken, cracked, etc .. overall, it wasn't enough to bring to the staff for immediate attention - because there wasn't really anything that could be done in the moment. It was an average room, with dated and VERY worn touches that was an adequate stopover for one night. The price paid reflected this condition (vs the competition) and we would consider staying again for a similar price, however we would weigh all options first.

The room was spacious but we found out the walls must either be really thin or have very little insulation. We could hear the entire conversation of the two people next door at 2:30 in the morning. In the morning we had no hot water for showers. When we called down the front desk didn’t apologize and didn’t seem sure what was happening. Said they thought a couple hot water heaters went out and to maybe wait a few minutes. It was a nice room with a nice view, but we didn’t have a restful sleep or hot showers. We booked the room for our anniversary and were somewhat disappointed due to how much we paid for the room.

For paying $292 a night I expected soaps in the showers to be refilled (body wash) and I’m not sure if my expectations were too high but I expected at least some complementary toothpaste. Also the curtains are see through so say goodbye to any privacy since that area of the streets are very much well lighted and make the curtains see through.

Check-in was smooth & easy; the gentlemen up front was quick & helpful. He informed me about parking (available but limited). There were, unfortunately, noisy guests on my floor who were slamming doors around midnight, going in and out of their rooms. I phoned the front desk and the gentlemen informed me they had just checked in. I had a very hard time getting back to sleep after such a disturbance and that really colored my stay.

We were in town for the annual Irish Fest. We loved the location, and the fact that we had easy access to restaurants, the riverfront and the fairgrounds on foot. We were offered a large umbrella to use on a couple of rainy mornings. The actual hotel parking lot is very small, but there is a huge public lot right next door with hotel access. They provide a code that allows you to park for free.
