Sadly, Wolfgang was not a strapping German, and luckily, he wasn&#146;t a bedbug. He was, as you can see from the picture, a fish. <p>All the rooms at the Pearl have a retro motel feel, and each come equipped with a little fish in a bowl on the wall. Each bowl comes with a name tag, so you&#146;re not sleeping with something anonymous. <p>Should we have wanted to get maternal, we were warned off feeding Wolfgang with a sign saying: <blockquote><p>Everyone gets fine n friendly care from The Pearl Hotel staff. juliab 2011-05-18T10:47:19-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/8/19/21915/8428 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/34094/sandiego_pearl_hotel_003_20080116_mdm_s44_877_ga.jpg" class="top"><p> <p>As the countdown until the end of summer ticks away and people try to cram in last-minute outdoor activities, San Diego's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Pearl+San+Diego/local/728"><b>The Pearl</b></a> is just getting started with its <b>Dive-In Theatre</b>, a weekly swim-and-cinema social. Every Tuesday year-round, the hotel screens a flick onto its 10-by-13-foot outdoor screen that overlooks the oyster-shaped pool. <p>Between 50 and 100 people show up to see the movie of the week at this retro-looking hotel, which avoids the trendy Gaslamp Quarter in favor of the quieter Point Loma area. The Pearl's been holding <a href="http://www.thepearlsd.com/divein/">Dive-In Theatre</a>&#151;its signature event&#151;since the hotel's opening in September 2007. It's free for hotel guests, but everyone else has to buy a drink at the bar Jennifer Kester 2009-08-19T08:38:26-05:00 32.7253260 -117.22900 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/2/21/163541/957 <![CDATA[<p> <img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/images/hotel-deals/hotel-deals-logo.jpg"> <p><i> In which, HotelChatter readers are treated to exclusive hotel deals dug up by us.
