The Pearl Hotel

This is an amazing hotel! I've come here a couple times as a solo traveler and felt safe each time. The neighborhood is cute and super fun to explore. The service is also great and made my stay more enjoyable. The rooms were also very clean and well-maintained. The check-in process was easy and staff even gave me some of their recommendations for what to do in San Diego. The Pearl Hotel was my first ever stay as a solo traveler and I 1000% recommend to anyone who is visiting San Diego!

We thought this would be like the Ace, which we love. Nope. Hotel was SO loud even in our upcharged room (they put us next to an industrial closet with the pool pump going 24/7, which we had to ask them to turn off even after 1 am - pool closes at 8 so this was pure laziness on their part). Did not inform us of multiple private events which meant the kitchen and bar were fully closed during our entire stay. All communication is via text with the front desk, so replies are often weird or delayed. There was also a roach in our room (ew) and we were too grossed out by the patio to even use it (waste of $$ - dust, bugs, and cobwebs galore).

We LOVE staying at the Pearl! Aside from a great vintage atmosphere, cozy rooms, and the amazing design of the hotel— the food, drinks, and service this trip were phenomenal! Yesterday evening, Meg provided excellent service during the "Golden Hour" at Ponyboy. We felt extremely at ease and comfortable our entire stay and are already planning our next trip!

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a lovely weekend in San Diego. Hospitality at the Pearl Hotel is highly personalized and warm. Staff at all levels are incredibly friendly, proximity to Ocean Beach and Sunset Cliffs is convenient, and the rooms are cozy and clean. Thank you Pearl, we will be back.

Campy retro vibes, clean rooms, however the breakfast is still showing up as free on Google maps and yet it does not exist. Also they just changed their restaurant schedule to be closed Sun and M. Difficult to sleep before the restaurant closes - it's a very small hotel and the restaurant/bar can get really vibey, which is cool but not conducive if you need to get to bed early for the first flight out the next day. The bathroom soaps/shampoos are quite nice, as are the towels and robes. Mini splits are great for controlling your individual temperature in the room. Kenneth at the check in desk was really a pleasure to talk to.

The Pearl was amazing!!! After a not so good day dealing with travel delays and luggage issues my friend and I needed to get a hotel near the airport. This cute boutique hotel was the perfect place to be and they made us feel at home! Tawny was amazing and Ian at the front desk was great!! If we are ever in San Diego again this will be a permanent stop. Whether it’s to stay, eat at the restaurant, get a drink at the bar, or pick up a slice of grasshopper pie! Thank you again for the hospitality!

I’ve stayed here now a few times, and have always had a great experience! This time, the girl at the front, Jellani, was leaving as I was parking and stopped to ask me if I was checking in. She was just about to go on her lunch break and came back in to make sure I got checked in. She was super accommodating and very sweet!
