Stayed here for my 1 year anniversary. Proposes a good value ($140 per night is decent), and guest services were great, but housekeeping left our door ajar when we were out (with pearl necklaces in the room) and a/c didn't work very well. The parking lot was not large enough for the amount of guests that were there, and the... more

No complaints other than disappointed pool was closed in the newer area, but that's the cost of progress. Very Central location, close to everything you want to see and do in San Diego more

We stayed here on our honeymoon. The guy at the front desk was a bit textbook. We checked in then came back 10 minutes later to ask for a recommendation for dinner and he looked at us and said "Hi, how can I help you?" like he had never seen us before. It was just after 9 pm and he... more

Perfect!

Rooms and buildings need upgrading, look to be 30 yrs old ++, chipped tiles, old carpets. Clean enough, but nothing special. More of a family oriented hotel. Wasn't crazy about the location...its ok, on the marina. We were spoiled after just having stayed at the Pacific Terrace Hotel on Pacific Beach which was outstanding and most would pale in comparison... more

We statyed in Queen Jr Suite on 2nd floor with a view facing the bay / downtown. The room was exceptionally clean. The furnishings were decent with plenty of room to move around. The location of the hotel is fantastic if you're in SD to be a tourist. We visited Sea World, SD Zoo, USS MIdway, Ocean Beach, & La... more

We've stayed on Shelter Island several times at Humphrey's, but traveling during the peak season, on a weekend, decided to go with the better deal down the road at the Island Palms. It was a great decision! Our room was in the Casa Del Mar building, which is still not quite renovated, but the rooms were clean and well-appointed and... more

I have stayed at a Best Western before and they were OK. This hotel was absolutely wonderful. The staff in the resturant were excellent and so was the food. The hotel grounds were kept very well, beautiful views, clean room etc. Housekeeping was fantastic, trustworthy and friendly. The entire staff from check in to check out was great. My 11... more

We stayed in an Island Palms, queen suite, second floor, with a bayside view. It was as close to a home away from home as we could've ever imagined.The views from our room and private balcony were FANTASTIC!! We could see the bay, the city lights, Point Loma, and see part of the marina from our balcony. The kitchen was... more
