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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
