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

I booked The Pearl for a weekend stay based on TripAdvisor reviews. Having stayed there this past weekend, I have to share a suspicion: I think someone has been stuffing the ballot box in favor of The Pearl. The Pearl doesn't deserve the glowing reviews that it has received -- and I suspect that they are bogus reviews aimed at... more

This retro vibed boutique hotel was an amazing find. However, I should say that I don't really think it's family friendly, and I'm pretty sure my 62 year old mother wouldn't want to stay there. It is super cool, hip, funky, and very, very LOUD at night. The room was fairly small, but decorated with innovative style (fish in a... more

We discovered this gem online. The staff are fantastic. Everything exceeded our expectations. The bar was cool and retro, and really happeing on the night we came in. The drinks we great as were the people. Get Smart (the original) ran on a large screen over the pool. The room was fantastic, small but great, from the live fish to... more
