My teenage daughter and I were in town for 4 nights. We had stayed at the Kona Kai on Shelter Island before but wanted to try something different. The Pearl is a really hip little boutique motel, and the owners have done a good job with the renovation. But the motel is what it is - an old facility that's... More

Unique and one-of-a-kind, the hotel is special because, by definition, rare = precious (the "Pearl" is aptly named); you get so much for so little (I define "cool" as being able to make a nickel look like a quarter, and the Pearl makes you feel like an "econnoisseur" staying here); you're made to feel welcome, but more importantly made to...

My boyfriend and I just visited The Pearl Hotel for his birthday weekend on April 16. I chose this place based on the excellent price, amenities, location, and positive reviews / pictures that were noted here. Our experience was top notch from start to finish. We purchased a package that included the cost of parking at the hotel. I highly... More

I am a stay at home dad with three kids, and my wife booked me a room for my birthday and a little r&r. I stayed in the Gem, which was small, but perfect for myself. The deco was awesome, and I had no problem checking in a half hour early to make an appointment I had. I loved the... More

I've stayed at The Pearl a few times now, as it's my getaway hotel in San Diego. As long as you have a car, you are 15 minutes from everything in San Diego while you get to stay in the cozy and pretty Point Loma neighborhood. All the reviews about the hip style and laid-back attitude are accurate. I've stayed... More

I LOVED The Pearl! It was very cool and trendy without being pretentious. We stayed in a Strand room. It was very large and had a small balcony overlooking the pool and restaurant. My favorite part was our fish (Bruce Lee) that lived in the room. The restaurant had wonderful food and a great relaxed vibe. We arrived about 15... More

We booked a last minute business trip to San Diego and choose The Pearl. It had a great vibe at the restaurant/bar at a great value.

We stayed two nights for a wedding and LOVED The Pearl. I wouldn't necessarily say it was family friendly, because the nights we were there, there were masses of people poolside and at the bar and loud music until about 11 P.M. We didn't mind at all, but the older members of our group weren't thrilled. Their website doesn't do... More

The rooms are alright. TV channel options are good though. It is a old motel that has tried to be rennovated, but still not nice. Room was still alright. What put me and my partner off is the nieghbourhood. Would not reccomend walking down the streets at night. Barely any parking eventhough they charge you for it and mind you... More

We stayed in the Pearl as part of a trip through Southern California visiting friends. There were a number of serious problems with this hotel. First of all - despite booking and paying for a car parking space, there were none available. We ended up parking 4 blocks away and had to drag our luggage back to the hotel. A... More
