    I was here for SHRM25 Conference. I enjoyed being on Shelter Island

    The room was always clean, and they respected my privacy notices. My towels were fresh and white, and the bath area was spotless.

    Rooms are very tired - disappointef

    Hotel looks lovely on website but our room wasn't great. The room we were allocated, although big, was dark.... at 4pm in the afternoon! This was because the room was long, with a small patio and a tall hedge covering the view of the car park. This tall hedge blocked a lot of light. We've never asked to change rooms in a hotel before but this was unacceptable, especially as we were staying for 3 nights. The only option given to us was an upgrade costing $25 extra per night. We were put on the 2nd floor, with a view, so this was much better. Bed was clean and comfy. Microwave was provided although no tea/coffee making facilities even though I saw the maids trollies with sugar/creamer etc on them so some rooms had them - I'd already been out and purchased my own cups by then! Not happy! Water pressure in shower was virtually non-existent so spent twice as long as normal in there rinsing out shampoo. Not happy!Furniture was scratched/chipped and the door on bedside cabinet felt like it was going to fall off. Bathroom door needs painting. Walls, skirting boards and main door were badly scuffed. Carpet had been patch repaired. Armchair (pale green) looked grubby were many hands had touched. At least we had a decent view. A well located hotel but judging by the website there are more acceptable rooms available.

    Anniversary staycation

    We had a wonderful stay in a suite at this hotel. The location was great and we were able to attend a concert nearby. We had a balcony and it was nice to enjoy the beautiful scenery that surrounds this hotel. We ate breakfast at the nearby restaurant. The menu for the breakfast was pretty good.

    Great location- we will be back!

    My husband and I were very pleased with this location. We had a Marina view in the Casa Del Mar building. Our room was very clean and the bed comfortable. Shelter island is quiet and convenient to so many places! We will most definitely be back!

    Great location and price/amenities.

    We have been going here for over 20 years. We love the location and price/amenities. The suites are perfect for families or just those that want a bit more room. We prefer the Marina view. The restaurant has always been solid and the grounds are always clean. Easy to get to anywhere in San Diego. It's been our "go to" when visiting family at least once a year for over 2 decades.
