It's hard to find a bistro that welcomes female septagenarians but we three ladies loved our evening (early, of course) at The Pearl. Like the bivalve itself, we may be a bit wrinkled on the outside, but we still enjoy a lively atmosphere, good wine, and excellent food. We found all three at The Pearl. Sarah, our server, was delightful... More

Rooms: Combination of a retro-modern complete with telephones, storage space, comfy beds, and a goldfish! Parking: Small, but had no trouble finding spot.

What a way to unplug for a weekend. Every now and then you just want to drop your bags, go grab a drink, some food that is so good it becomes part of the conversation, get intrigued enough by the design around you that you take pics because you want to replicate some of it at home, and call it...

I stayed one night at the hotel and it was cool. I expected the place to be bigger than it was based on the website. Overall the property is very nice and the theme works really well.

The Pearl is a fun hotel with lots of character. The staff were really nice, the decor was fantastic, and there was lots that made the stay unique. The food and drinks are also great. The rooms aren't huge, but they're clean and comfortable. There can be noise from the bar, but it did not bother us during our stay.

Make sure your room is as far as possible from the swimming pool pumps or it will feel as if you have an aeroplane taking off next door. Rooms are also small and cramped. The redeeming feature is the restaurant where service is excellent and the food is good. Very oddly they did not serve breakfast when we were there... More
