The Pearl Hotel

Wonderful place to stay! Great restaurant, great service, it’s very intimate as there are only 20 something rooms, you’ll feel like you’ve made friends with the staff by the end of your stay. The only thing I’d like to mention is that if you plan to have a car, reserve a parking space ahead of time with your reservation. Parking can be hard to find especially on weekends and holidays. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family!

This is a converted old apt. building with a pool in the middle. The bar and restaurant are closed on Monday night. I liked the free bikes, they are one speed though and no lights or water bottle cages, but they have baskets. I rode around Mission Bay and went SUPing at Mission Bay Aquatics. I also rode uphill to Cesarina for dinner. I recommend it.

Cute hotel, very 60's.. nice decor. Super comfy beds. Only downfalls were, no elevator. So if you have a heavy suitcase, be prepared to drag it up the stairs. Other thing. They had very limited parking and still charges $20 to park there. Over all it was decent hotel.

I stayed here thinking it would be great since they advertised it was free breakfast. I was traveling with my 3 kids and so finding a place with free breakfast was important. Upon checking in, I was told there was no free breakfast and only a paid menu. I ordered from the menu and my daughter said the breakfast sandwhich was definitely a frozen jimmy dean. $8 for that! Then later that day I asked if we can use the free bikes. To our suprise all 4 bikes were not working. The air conditioning wasnt working well, bathroom fan took 10 minutes to even work. I wont stay here again. Im very dissapointed. oh and they had the nerves to charge $20 a night for parking when the streets was free. So we took advantage of FREE parking on the streets

What an amazing hotel. Richard was phenomenal. He was very welcoming and knowledgeable of the establishment and the area. The restaurant at the hotel Ponyboy was incredible also. I highly recommend staying at The Pearl. What a gem. There’s a pool at the center and a big screen with movies playing during dinner and drinks. I loved staying there. I’ll be back.

Cute boutique hotel with a 60's vibe. It was nice to have an option for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We only ate dinner there one night and it was good. Limited parking but we always seemed to find a spot. The price per night was fair.

I love the character of the hotel , Location was great & enjoyed the movie night. The only concern is on their website they shall communicate only limited parking spaces vs parking available. If you don’t make it to get a parking spot you will end up having to park across the street .

Super cute throwback boutique hotel. Incredible breakfast buffet and thoughtful evening menu. And movies above the pool! How gun is that! Walkable to local seafood markets, harbor and local spots. Will return.

Clean, good location, comfortable bed. Clean small pool. 23 rooms, only 10 reserved parking spaces, first come. No fridge in room. On very busy street, noisy. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

I appreciated the simple design of the room, which included real plants and local art. They made efforts to be sustainable. I enjoyed the deep bathtub and the scent of the provided bodywash. The bar and restaurant downstairs was fantastic. When we had an issue with parking, they comped both days for the inconvenience. The aesthetic of the Pearl felt like we were stepping back in time. We also got to enjoy their poolside trivia night.

Our stay at the Pearl was incredible! I highly recommend booking for your stay in San Diego. The hotel is very nice, giving a late 20th century road trip motel vibe, without the dirtiness. They keep everything very clean, and the breakfast is great! Very friendly staff, affordable for its location, and we would stay again.

Great place. Neat and clean. Support staff are really helpful

Unfortunately the hotel didn’t live up to our expectations. The room looked pretty and was comfortable, but it smelt terrible and the bathroom was in poor condition. As other reviews suggest, the noise is really something to consider before staying here. Our room was near the bar, and we could hear all the conversations of the restaurant guests, often past midnight (we aren’t super light sleepers either). Great location however!

I loved the vibe of this hotel, however going M-W, the restaurant and bar was not available, so that was a bummer. The overall experience was good. My room was a bit dusty and the upstairs people were super loud and a dog was barking (not the hotel’s fault). I would try staying again to experience the restaurant and movie night by the pool.

Stay was ok overall but the bedding was stained and the internet connection was horrible, which made watching the smart tv difficult. Response from staff was good and they were very accommodating.

Such a unique and clean property and all the staff was super nice and helpful!

MUSTY. I thought the reviews I read about musty rooms were just one-offs but the must hits you in the face as soon as you walk in. It's coming from the AC unit, it just needs to be drained and dried out. Luckily it was cold so we just cracked the window and didn't use the AC. The breakfast was good, just not what we were expecting. On our way to the bar, we passed by a chef carrying a massive plate of pork that smelled amazing and then we had chia seed pudding...we were missing the bacon and eggs. I did like the pudding and there were bagels, fruit and juices available. The beds are so soft and comfy so if you need a stiffer mattress, this is not the hotel for you. Every hotel in this city makes you pay for parking. Just include it in the price and you'll be the only hotel in the area not getting poor reviews because of the upcharge. Overall, it was a cool hotel and we had a nice stay.

best hotel ever! i hate hate hate hotels and the stale environment of them. was desperately searching for a place (last minute) that would be available within the hour, but wouldn’t make me feel alienated from my comfort of home. ‘the pearl’ seemed to be my best bet, and boy did i find a gem!!! so lovely with their vintage vibe, while still remaining very clean and minimal. their soaps smell lovely, linens are so soft and comfortable, and the room very cozy. breakfast was very pleasant with clean eating options and lots of loose tea and juice options as well as their coffee. they seem to be very conscientious of their eco footprint and choose many sustainable options from toilet paper all the way to the type of fabrics they use. if i ever need a reason to book a hotel again they are most definitely my first pick!

Really beautifully done hotel, exceptional clean, and great atmosphere!

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.

The two of us stayed one night at The Pearl Hotel for my husband’s race early Sunday morning. The location is close to a Better Buzz and some restaurants but the property is super small. There are only about 8-9 parking spots so if you don’t get to reserve one for $20/night upon check in, then you have to find parking around the neighborhood. The front desk employee was friendly. If you get a room on the bottom floor (there are 2 floors with outside access to each room) you have to walk thru a small area of the restaurant inside the hotel to get to your room. Not only do you have to walk thru the restaurant, but you have to maneuver all your luggage thru all the tables & chairs of the restaurant that are on the very small pool area. The bottom floor rooms are immediately next to crowded & loud pool area. You also have to slap some hanging swings away from you on your way to your room on the bottom floor because the walking area is so small. Do not stay here if you have kids or need to go to sleep early to be somewhere early in the morning. It almost felt like you are staying at a brothel at night from so many ppl on the very small property while being loud despite being right outside the rooms. If you are young and interested in partying then you might enjoy the atmosphere. The room was small but mostly clean. Bed is very low to the ground so it is hard to get out of it if you have any type of aches & pain. My husband and I are in our forties and were not comfortable here.

I found the hotel very comfortable however, the noise from both the poolside bar crowd and the street was disturbing. I had to wear earplugs to sleep.

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!

Stay was ok overall but the bedding was stained and the internet connection was horrible, which made watching the smart tv difficult. Response from staff was good and they were very accommodating.

Such a cute place, great design absolutely love the vibe. The bar is hopp’n very busy right by the pool giving pool party into the night. They have a big screen above the pool where the bar restaurant faces where they played a movie. Its a small hotel so it was definitely louder than Id prefer for a Wednesday night.

The rooms were small but very nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything you need is within walking distance. No real cons, but two things to consider is there's VERY limited parking and I forgot my wall charger and none of the room furniture had a USB plug in. I'm staying there next visit if possible

Clean, good location, comfortable bed. Clean small pool. 23 rooms, only 10 reserved parking spaces, first come. No fridge in room. On very busy street, noisy. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

Friendly and helpful staff. Wifi is a bit crap. Street is a bit noisy. But the hotel and its decor is adorable. The beds are super comfy. Great nearby dining options all within walking distance. Great neighborhood.

Parking wasn’t free first come first serve still that makes no sense. Rooms don’t have fridges

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 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.

The staff is just awesome. They take amazing care of you! Hotel is cute, with a pool and parking.

It was very pretty and peaceful until the power went out and the carbon monoxide alarms started going off in a couple of the rooms, and the overnight staff person was unsure what to do. It went off for like an hour and he did eventually figure it. I feel like guests who were affected should have gotten something for the trouble.

What an amazing hotel. Richard was phenomenal. He was very welcoming and knowledgeable of the establishment and the area. The restaurant at the hotel Ponyboy was incredible also.

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

Clean and comfortable. Excellent service.

The restaurant was great! Staff were very nice and helpful!

This place was so cute! It was also clean and the staff was super nice. I loved the hardwood floors and also the bed was comfortable. I do have to say that if you’re staying here, bring earplugs because it’s on a loud street. I don’t mind it but it’s something to consider if you’re a light sleeper.

Cutest hotel of our 10-day roadtrip! Loved the vibe, it was clean and comfortable, and the area felt relatively safe. Parking is limited (~5 spots out front) so arrive early to take advantage of that. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Wish we would have had more time to enjoy the amenities like the restaurant/bar and pool area. The streetside rooms might be a bit nosier but had no issues in our room towards the back of the building. A lot of thought and style went into this boutique hotel, would definitely stay here again!

great experience overall - decent room size with all facilities; great staff; cute and modern decors around that make it cozy and chill. Parking is easy and safe in the neighborhood. Walkable distance to quite a few dining places.

Small menu but great food. Super relaxing environment. So close to Liberty Station!

Central to everything in Point Loma. Plus cool bar and restaurant around the pool. Highly recommend

Clean, good location, comfortable bed. Clean small pool. 23 rooms, only 10 reserved parking spaces, first come. No fridge in room. On very busy street, noisy. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

It’s like a residential area without much to do although there good restaurants as well as a marina.

Super cute boutique hotel. A block away from the harbor which was nice. The harbor had multiple dining options that we were able to walk to. Staff was nice and attentive. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel bar was the highlight of this property. The service was fantastic. We also really enjoyed the pool. The surrounding area is very walkable and offers plenty of food and drink options as well as great views of the marina. My only issue was that our bed was not very comfortable.

I am absolutely obsessed with this hotel! So much so I added an extra day just to enjoy the amenities some more! From the moment I checked in the staff has been nothing but accommodating and kind. You have everything you need in house and it’s a great location so everything is just a brief walk or 10-15 minute Lyft ride. Perfect hotel for those traveling alone! Will definitely be back!

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.

Truly amazing staff at a very groovy little boutique hotel with food at night that is surprisingly good.

Excellent stay!! The food looked amazing, wish I had time to have a meal but it was a quick trip for me. The cocktail I had was refreshing; the room was lovely. Breakfast was not much but it was great for someone looking for something light and on the healthier side. The overall vibe was chill, just what I needed.

Nice little motel. Great bar area with happy hour. Included breakfast was limited but nice. Service was a little lax when we required towels and sheets for the sofa bed. Limited parking but there is usually street parking. Not far to walk to some nice restaurants.

I appreciated the simple design of the room, which included real plants and local art. They made efforts to be sustainable. I enjoyed the deep bathtub and the scent of the provided bodywash.
