Overall the rooms are comfortable and the hotel has a nice aesthetic. Room was clean but some mold was visible in the bathroom because of poor ventilation. The bar was closed which was unfortunate but understandable given the new year. The location is great with nearby food options and coffee, and the staff are friendly.

Clean and aesthetically pleasing room, super nice staff, amazing food at pony boy and drinks. Parking was a breeze. Can’t wait to come back
I had a wonderful stay at this property! The staff were exceptionally polite and accommodating, making everything feel easy and welcoming. The rooms were upgraded, clean, and very comfortable, and the overall property was well-maintained and stylish. I especially appreciated the complimentary bicycle rental—it made getting around so convenient and fun. Everything about my stay was excellent, and I would definitely return!
The room was beautiful the service was amazing. Kenneth at the front desk is more than wonderful. The food from the restaurant was excellent. Great location too.
Only downside was the mattress we slept on.
I got a little food stain on the sheets and out of courtesy, removed the bedding on checkout day only to find horrific stains all over the mattress. Not sure what bodily fluids, or what substance it was that we slept on for two days. Woke up feeling sick and a very sore throat. From now on I will always check the mattress I lay on my head on for the duration of my stay anywhere.

What an amazing hotel. Richard was phenomenal. He was very welcoming and knowledgeable of the establishment and the area. The restaurant at the hotel Ponyboy was incredible also. I highly recommend staying at The Pearl. What a gem. There’s a pool at the center and a big screen with movies playing during dinner and drinks. I loved staying there. I’ll be back.
Everything was perfect, A much recommended place for people going on a trip to SD. I can’t forget the super comfy bed and pillows, The wife loved them !!
Charming retro hotel. Reasonably updated amenities, clean room, on site restaurant.

I appreciated the simple design of the room, which included real plants and local art. They made efforts to be sustainable. I enjoyed the deep bathtub and the scent of the provided bodywash. The bar and restaurant downstairs was fantastic. When we had an issue with parking, they comped both days for the inconvenience. The aesthetic of the Pearl felt like we were stepping back in time. We also got to enjoy their poolside trivia night.
The booking was advertised as free breakfast. On both days we asked and were told it was only coffee available-I also checked before arriving and confirmed that one free breakfast item and hot drink per person would be available. Since nothing was provided this is serious misadvertising. We had a family room, sofa bed not even made up, had to ask for it to be made. No housekeeping at that time so receptionist came to make the bed, when unfolding the bed, sheets were already on it which looked used. We had to ask for a duvet. Main bed felt really dirty to sleep in. Loud music and noise from pony boy restaurant every night. Staff were very sweet and courteous- if it wasn’t for them we would have complained. Pretty awful experience, would not recommend!

Unfortunately the hotel didn’t live up to our expectations. The room looked pretty and was comfortable, but it smelt terrible and the bathroom was in poor condition. As other reviews suggest, the noise is really something to consider before staying here. Our room was near the bar, and we could hear all the conversations of the restaurant guests, often past midnight (we aren’t super light sleepers either). Great location however!
The hotel was in a great location. Close to good dining options and walkable activities to include morning coffee. Only complaint was the bed- way too soft , so a bit rough waking up. But small complaint compared to the other amazing things the hotel had such as the downstairs restaurant Ponyboy.
