Chose The Pearl online while on a cruise ship - the pictures were phenomenal and looked like we were getting an AWESOME room for the price....my husband and I wanted to treat ourselves on the last night of our vacation. When we arrived, we were a little disappointed by the outside appearance - looked rundown and haggard, but agreed to... more

My wife and I choose the Pearl based on the 4 star rating in Orbitz and the fact that they had a restaurant with bar. Upon arriving to the are littered with 1 and 2 star hotels we were second guessing our choice. The bar and restaurant were closed because they said Sundays were to slow to keep it open.... more

Like those of you reading this review, we did our research prior to booking the Pearl. So, we knew that it had a funky vibe, could get loud in the evenings, and wasn't a 'in the middle of everything' type of place. If you want to be in the heart of the action in San Diego, this probably isn't your... more

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Pearl and really enjoyed its quirkiness. It is noisy, no question, but if you are the kind of people who like to be in the action it is not a problem. Hotel staff were really helpful and friendly. Food is outstanding. We were able to find parking on the street... more

I booked this hotel for a one night stay to celebrate my wife's birthday. What a beautiful way to cap a beautiful evening. We dined downtown in the Gaslamp Quarter with many friends and arrived by limo to the Pearl. Since this was a surprise for my wife, I met with the staff earlier in the day so that I... more

We stayed at THE PEARL for two nights before catching a cruise. If you are looking for some quiet R&R in the evening this is not the place for you. The rooms are groovy and modern with a bit of a retro/modern theme going on. No complaints whatsoever and they use H20 Spa products. Huge flatescreen as well. The hotel... more

I am in complete agreement with the review from SEH7 about this hotel. They really need to decide if they are a hotel or a night club. The staff was very friendly and helpful. But my one additional complaint would be how bad our bathroom was. The bathtub was peeling and dirty and the mold on the shower curtain was... more

If you're looking for something completely different, can sleep through noise and don't mind sharing the pool with a flotilla of beach balls, the Pearl might be for you. It's a very hip little spot, with a jumping bar, 60's films and TV shows featured on a screen above the pool. But management really should decide whether they want to... more

My boyfriend and I decided to take a trip to California from New York for his birthday. I am a very picky person when it comes to hotels and researched a lot of places to stay. I decided to take a risk with The Pearl based on pictures as it was still pretty new and did not have any reviews... more
