The property's sound environment is determined by its location (San Diego), its architectural design (building materials, window quality, room separation), and its intentional sound design elements (water features, music, natural sounds). The hotel format creates specific acoustic characteristics that differ from high-rise hotel towers: ground-level or low-rise construction means different relationships with exterior noise sources, different sound transmission patterns between rooms, and different ambient sound profiles throughout the day-night cycle. cix on tripadvisor (rating: 3) captured this dimension of the Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina experience: 'I booked this hotel in large part based on its reviews.

This observation is reinforced by Rick B's tripadvisor review (rating: 3), which noted: 'Traveler beware - there is a huge difference between the quality of your experience depending where your room is located. The price of the room doesn't begin to reflect these differences. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra few bucks for a "marina view" - or at least call ah...' Additional evidence comes from Mike K (tripadvisor) (rating: 4): 'A wonderful place to visit and almost every room is scenic. Rooms are large and nicely appointed. It appears that things are usually replaced if broken, but sometimes not!' Sherpa745155 on tripadvisor (rating: 5) similarly described: 'Clean and Comfortable rooms with spectacular Oceanside views!

"traverse:narrative:tactileExperience": "The tactile experience at Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina encompasses every physical surface, texture, and material that guests touch, walk on, sit in, and sleep on throughout their stay. In hospitality, the tactile dimension is often the most immediate quality indicator: guests can see that a lobby is attractive, but they FEEL whether the bed is comfortable, the towels are soft, the carpet is clean, the shower pressure is adequate, and the furniture is solid. The tactile quality of a hotel experience correlates directly with perceived value — guests who describe rooms as 'comfortable' or 'soft beds' in their reviews are signaling positive tactile experiences that reinforce the property's price point, while guests describing 'thin towels' or 'hard mattresses' are signaling tactile failures that undermine value perception regardless of visual appeal.

"traverse:narrative:temperatureNarrative": "Temperature management at Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina is shaped by the San Diego, California climate, the property's architectural design, and its HVAC infrastructure. San Diego's climate characteristics create specific temperature management challenges and opportunities: the property must maintain comfortable room temperatures across seasonal variations while also leveraging favorable outdoor conditions for amenity areas, dining venues, and recreational spaces. Guest comfort with temperature is highly personal — what feels comfortable to one guest may feel too warm or too cold to another — making HVAC controllability and responsiveness critical factors in room satisfaction.

"traverse:narrative:eveningAtmosphere": "Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina undergoes a meaningful atmospheric transformation as daylight transitions to evening, creating a distinct experiential character that differs from the daytime property experience. The evening atmosphere at any hospitality property is shaped by lighting design (both architectural and landscape), sound environment shifts (as daytime activity noise gives way to evening ambiance), temperature changes (cooling that affects outdoor comfort), and the social-behavioral shift from daytime recreation to evening relaxation and dining. the transition from natural daylight to designed evening lighting fundamentally changes how the property looks, feels, and functions. Properties that successfully design their evening atmosphere create a 'second act' that gives guests a reason to spend evening hours on-property rather than seeking off-site entertainment — a behavior pattern that drives ancillary revenue through F&B spending and builds emotional loyalty through memorable shared experiences.

"traverse:narrative:architecturalPhilosophy": "Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina's architectural philosophy reflects the design vision of its architectural identity, as modified by subsequent renovation and expansion cycles that have adapted the physical plant to evolving guest expectations and operational needs. Architecture in hospitality serves a dual function: it must create the aesthetic environment that defines the property's experiential character while simultaneously providing the functional infrastructure for efficient hotel operations — room layouts that facilitate housekeeping, corridors that manage guest flow, mechanical spaces that support HVAC and plumbing, and public areas that accommodate peak-capacity gatherings. The property's architectural format — its building configuration — creates specific experiential characteristics that differentiate it from high-rise hotel towers: ground-connected rooms, outdoor corridor circulation, and a horizontal rather than vertical spatial organization.

"traverse:narrative:landscapeDesign": "The landscape design at Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina is a critical element of the guest experience that extends far beyond visual decoration. the outdoor environment creates the atmospheric context within which all other property experiences unfold. Landscape design in hospitality serves multiple functions simultaneously: aesthetic (creating visual beauty), environmental (providing shade, wind protection, and microclimate management), experiential (creating sensory transitions between spaces), privacy (screening between rooms, pathways, and public areas), and operational (defining circulation paths, managing stormwater, and creating maintainable green spaces).

The most effective hospitality lighting design creates a continuous temporal narrative: bright, energizing morning light for breakfast areas and lobbies; natural, comfortable midday illumination; warm, atmospheric afternoon-to-evening transitions; and intimate, relaxing nighttime environments that encourage on-property spending and create memorable visual experiences. Lighting design takes on particular importance in the hotel context because the transition from natural to artificial light fundamentally changes how the property's design elements are perceived.

Signature dining quality is evaluated against both internal expectations (what the guest expects from a property at this price point) and external comparisons (how the restaurant competes with standalone dining options in the local market).

Casual dining quality is paradoxically more influential on overall F&B satisfaction than signature dining because it affects more meal occasions — a guest might eat one signature dinner during a four-night stay but will consume multiple casual meals that collectively shape their F&B impression.

Room service quality has become a significant discussion point in the hospitality industry as properties balance service costs against guest expectations. The trend across the industry has been toward reduced room service — replacing traditional plated-and-delivered meals with grab-and-go options, delivery partnerships, or in-room kitchen facilities — a trend that satisfies cost management goals but disappoints luxury-expecting guests.

"traverse:narrative:serviceGaps": "Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina's service gaps — the specific dimensions where service delivery falls short of guest expectations — form patterns in the review corpus that indicate systemic operational challenges rather than isolated incidents. Identifying service gaps is strategically valuable because each documented gap represents a specific, addressable failure point where targeted training, process improvement, or staffing adjustment could measurably improve guest satisfaction and review scores. The most impactful service gaps are those that affect the highest-frequency guest touchpoints — check-in, housekeeping, and dining service — where failures affect every guest rather than just those who encounter a specific amenity or activity. ghuston713 on tripadvisor (rating: 2) captured this dimension of the Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina experience: 'We had an issue on the property with a non-guest using the laundry room to do drugs. Some staff seemed to be aware of this issue happening before but no follow up was provided. Front desk manager left a message days later and said he would call back but never did.' This observation is reinforced by MDFamily13's tripadvisor review (rating: 1), which noted: 'The staff at this hotel is some of the most disrespectful I have ever dealt with. They are unorganized and do not know how their own systems work. They threatened to cancel my reservation over no Credit card info when it turns out they had it the whole time!' Additional evidence comes from Paula O (tripadvisor) (rating: 2): 'My husband and I booked a scenic view suite for a recent stay of 4 nights. We were disappointed that the “view” from the room was a tiled roof and the “view” from the balcony was the adjacent building. Not very scenic at all.' samaneh s on tripadvisor (rating: 1) similarly described: 'Extremely disappointing service. Terrible service' JerseyJodi on tripadvisor (rating: 2) similarly described: 'Bottom line, the rooms are nice as is the property but the service is atrocious.' In the San Diego, California market, Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices. The property competes for travelers who are evaluating multiple accommodation options in the area, and its service gaps characteristics play a significant role in the booking decision process. Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina's challenges in service gaps represent an addressable operational gap that, if resolved, could meaningfully improve review scores and guest satisfaction metrics. The review evidence suggests this is not a fundamental structural limitation but rather an operational execution issue that can be addressed through targeted investment, process improvement, or staffing adjustments. Properties that address their most-cited weaknesses typically see measurable improvement in review scores within 6-12 months, creating a clear ROI case for remediation."

"traverse:narrative:communicationQuality": "Communication quality at Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina encompasses both the information-delivery dimension (how effectively the property communicates essential information to guests) and the interpersonal-connection dimension (how warmly and authentically staff interact with guests on a human level). Effective hotel communication operates across multiple channels and touchpoints: pre-arrival communication (booking confirmation, pre-stay emails), arrival communication (check-in orientation, property information delivery), in-stay communication (concierge guidance, problem resolution, activity scheduling), and departure communication (checkout efficiency, follow-up engagement). The communication gap that most frequently appears in hotel reviews is the check-in orientation failure: front desk staff who process the check-in transaction efficiently but fail to provide the property overview that helps guests discover and use available amenities. Anonymous on booking.com captured this dimension of the Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina experience: 'Nice location with spacious rooms and helpful staff.' This observation is reinforced by Priscila's booking.com review, which noted: 'Everything was very clean, beautiful, comfortable. It feels great to be this close to the water, wake up to the Marina, to the birds. The pool and hot tub were great.' Additional evidence comes from Anonymous (booking.com): 'The people were friendly and accommodating
It was clean.' Daniel on booking.com similarly described: 'There was an issue with the room when we arrived after a long flight. But the staff quickly fixed it and more than made up for it. Kudos and thanks to Danny for making everything right.' Anonymous on booking.com similarly described: 'Service was good, the restaurant is delicious. People were friendly and helpful. The pool is good.' Across the review corpus, service-related comments appear in 686 of 830 total reviews (82% mention rate), with 141 positive and 42 negative mentions. This high mention frequency indicates that service is a primary factor in guest satisfaction at Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina. In the San Diego, California market, Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices. The property competes for travelers who are evaluating multiple accommodation options in the area, and its communication quality characteristics play a significant role in the booking decision process. Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina's communication quality represents a durable competitive advantage that is difficult for competitors to replicate. This strength compounds over time through positive review generation, word-of-mouth referrals, and the loyalty-building effect of consistently meeting or exceeding guest expectations in this dimension. The property's investment in maintaining this standard signals ownership commitment to the guest experience and creates a virtuous cycle where positive experiences generate positive reviews that attract guests predisposed to appreciate what Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina offers."

"traverse:narrative:resolutionEffectiveness": "Problem resolution at Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina reveals how the property handles the inevitable service failures, maintenance issues, and expectation mismatches that occur in any hospitality operation. Resolution effectiveness is the single most powerful determinant of whether a negative experience results in a negative review: research consistently shows that guests who experience a problem that is effectively resolved often rate their stay HIGHER than guests who experienced no problems at all — a phenomenon known as the 'service recovery paradox.' The key resolution dimensions are: response speed (how quickly the property acknowledges and addresses the problem), authority (whether the responding staff member has the power to solve the problem or must escalate), creativity (whether the resolution is limited to standard protocols or can be customized), and follow-through (whether the property confirms the resolution was satisfactory). ghuston713 on tripadvisor (rating: 2) captured this dimension of the Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina experience: 'We had an issue on the property with a non-guest using the laundry room to do drugs.

"traverse:narrative:housekeepingAnalysis": "Housekeeping quality at Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina emerges from the review corpus as a significant operational challenge — a service dimension where failures have outsized impact on guest satisfaction because they directly affect the space where guests sleep, dress, and store their personal belongings. Housekeeping evaluation encompasses frequency (how often rooms are serviced), thoroughness (what the service includes — vacuuming, dusting, bathroom sanitizing, linen replacement, amenity restocking), timeliness (whether rooms are ready at check-in and serviced at convenient hours), and special-request responsiveness (extra towels, pillow preferences, early/late service requests). The N/A-room property requires a housekeeping operation that can maintain consistent quality across all rooms while managing the variable demands of check-in/check-out day turnover, stayover service, and deep-cleaning rotations. Priscila on booking.com captured this dimension of the Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina experience: 'Everything was very clean, beautiful, comfortable. It feels great to be this close to the water, wake up to the Marina, to the birds. The pool and hot tub were great.'

Faith on booking.com similarly described: 'Our suite was clean and the beds were comfortable. It was nice to sit out on the porch in the morning and look out towards the ocean.' Across the review corpus, rooms-related comments appear in 671 of 830 total reviews (80% mention rate), with 159 positive and 66 negative mentions.

Understanding these persona segments is critical for operational optimization: each persona has different peak booking periods, amenity usage patterns, spending behaviors, and review tendencies that influence how the property should allocate resources and design experiences.

"traverse:narrative:behavioralPatterns": "Guest behavioral patterns at Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina reveal how different traveler segments actually use the property — which amenities they prioritize, when they're on-property versus exploring off-property, how they spend their discretionary time, and what drives their satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Behavioral analysis is more operationally valuable than demographic profiling because it reveals actionable patterns: if morning pool usage peaks at 9am, that determines towel-stocking schedules; if restaurant demand concentrates at 7pm, that determines staffing levels; if guests consistently leave the property for off-site dining, that signals an F&B competitive gap. The review corpus provides indirect behavioral evidence through the activities, amenities, and experiences that guests choose to mention — with frequently mentioned elements indicating high-usage touchpoints and rarely mentioned elements indicating either low awareness or low engagement.

"traverse:narrative:guestExpectationMapping": "Guest expectations at Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina are shaped by multiple inputs: the property's own marketing and positioning, the platform through which they booked (OTA presentation, direct website imagery), price paid (higher rates create higher expectations), previous hotel experiences (calibration against past stays), and the recommendations of friends, family, or review readers. Expectation mapping identifies the specific gaps between what guests anticipated and what they experienced — gaps that are the primary drivers of both positive surprises (exceeding expectations) and negative reviews (falling short). The most common expectation mismatches in the review corpus relate to room condition relative to price point, amenity access and quality, and the overall experience level relative to the property's brand positioning.

"traverse:narrative:seasonalPatterns": "Guest behavioral patterns at Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina shift significantly across the seasonal cycle of San Diego, California, creating distinct operational and experiential profiles for each period. Summer peak season (June-September) brings maximum occupancy with family and vacation travelers, creating highest demand for pools, outdoor amenities, and water activities. Room rates are at their annual peak, and the quality-expectation gap is widest because guests paying peak rates have the highest standards. Fall shoulder season (October-November) often provides the best experiential period: reduced crowds, pleasant weather, lower rates, and staff who have more time per guest. Winter trough (December-February) shifts guest behavior toward indoor amenities, spa usage, dining, and off-property exploration. Spring transition (March-May) gradually restores outdoor activity with spring break creating a seasonal mini-peak.

"traverse:narrative:crossPropertyBehavior": "Cross-property behavior analysis examines how Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina guests interact with the broader hospitality ecosystem — their consideration set when booking, their comparison frameworks when reviewing, and their likelihood of trying alternative properties in the same market. Understanding cross-property behavior is essential for competitive positioning: the properties that guests compare Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina against in their reviews reveal the actual competitive set (which may differ from the management-defined competitive set) and the specific dimensions on which comparisons are made. Review language that explicitly names competitor properties or uses comparative language ('better than,' 'not as good as,' 'similar to') provides the most direct evidence of cross-property evaluation behavior.

"traverse:reviewText": "Have stayed at this hotel many times in the past based on the service and location. We were in town to attend a concert nearby and booked a room in the Casa Marina building due to the location/beautiful views of either the water or marina. Room was not ready when we arrived and since we had no vehicle, had to wait until it was ready. The hotel front desk, main pool and restaurant/bar area were all very busy, indicating a pretty full hotel for that weekend. The room was at the end of a hallway, but was quiet and had beautiful views of the marina area. It was however, very dark, shabby and in need of some updates/repairs. Furniture nicked and worn, the toilet handle in the bathroom was barely hanging on and functioning. I reported it to the front desk and the next day it was repaired. WiFi was good, used the pools and the restaurant for breakfast. Service and food very good at the restaurant, would recommend it. We enjoy walking around the area across the street and taking in the beautiful views and weather. Would recommend this hotel, nothing is perfect, although some attention needs to be paid to the wear and tear of furniture, etc. Would stay again!",

Tips: free public overnight parking super close, don’t pay the fee. The budget rooms looked cramped and it’s 100% worth the upgrade for a good suite in the harbor side. Bayside looks at parking lot. Very close by car to grocery stores, etc. Walking distance to live music club, restaurants, coffee shops. It’s a bit dated and we had a few minor nuisances and maintenance things noticed but the room and views more than made up for it. If you haven’t stayed on Shelter Island before, definitely check it out. My #1 recommendation to management is to update the noisy air conditioner units.",

"traverse:reviewText": "I wish I could have given this motel a higher review, because I like the Best Western chain and I'm a loyalty club member. However, I need my coffee in the morning. I always check the hotel website before I arrive to make sure the rooms have coffee makers, if not I bring my water boiler and instant. In this case, I was sure they'd have coffee makers in the rooms and, sure enough, the website said they did. So I didn't bother to bring mine. Well, guess what? THEY DON'T! I called at 5:45 p.m. last night from our nice marina view room (138) and told them there was no coffee maker (although there was a microwave and fridge). I was told they took all the coffee makers out of the rooms but "there's coffee available in the lobby.) Are you kidding me? First of all, I look forward every morning to having my first cup while I'm waking up and getting dressed. I want to drink it in my pajamas. I don't want to have to get dressed and walk to the lobby. Secondly, I'm gimpy and use a cane so it's always a hike to me. Thirdly, the website claimed there were coffee makers. After I protested, the clerk told me reluctantly that they could bring me a coffee maker. I told her thanks, we went to dinner and to a concert, and returned at 10:30 p.m. No coffee maker. I called the front desk and was put on hold. For a long time. Finally I just gave up, and my friend told me she'd fetch me coffee in the morning. She did go down to the lobby this morning, and was able to get us cups, but also discovered that they SHUT OFF the coffee at 10 a.m. Seriously. The man in line behind her told her that, the previous day, he'd been able to get a cup at 9:59 am but the poor guy behind him got nothing. Really? Really? Even Motel 6 doesn't shut off their coffee at 10 a.m. And this is a resort area. Finally, the coffee I did get wasn't good. Someone is running this place who hates coffee. It was clearly the cheapest, most bitter brand they could get, maybe not even arabica. When we were walking out, I saw a housekeeper's cart and it had coffee supplies on it. So SOMEONE was getting coffee. Just not us. Sorry for this long rant, but not sorry. I'm so disappointed because otherwise this would have become my go-to motel for the area. And I want to know if this is a thing that Best Western is doing, because if so I won't be staying there anymore. We had to drive to Starbucks afterward to get a decent cup!",

"traverse:reviewText": "Upon making my reservation, I asked if we could have a view or slight view of the marina. Upon arrival, we were given an older, rather dated room overlooking the parking lot and the side of the facing building. I tried to work with front desk to change our room but the young lady was rude & and no way was going to accommodate us. When asked to see a manager, she refused to find one, indicating no one was around. The building was an older one thus the room was older, carpeting was dirty & bed was definitely old & uncomfortable. The housekeeping was very nice however. Best Western needs to do a better job at accommodating BW members. We will not return to this property.",

"traverse:reviewText": "We came back to our room at the end of the day, 10pm. There Was a large puddle of water on the floor of bathroom and soaking the carpet. It was dripping from the floor above. We ended up finding out the unit above ours had leaking toilet that and the toilet water was going through the ceiling into our room. We had to move to another room in the night with no assistance. The new room was smaller, and without a view (we had paid for view and larger room). The new room also had cigarette burns on the floor and smelled of cigarettes (we are nonsmokers). The next morning at checkout, no staff was aware we had had any problem and the only discount we got was parking. We were in a rush to make our plane so I did not have time to haggle for a more appropriate compensation for the poor experience. I expected someone to care that there was toilet water from the room above was leaking into our room. I expected someone to offer to help us move from an unsafe room in the middle of the night. I expected to be offered the same or better room. I expected a large discount for this terrible experience. I expected some followup from management. I documented my findings with pictures, so please don't remove my review. Also on an earlier occasion, the pool did not have pool towels, walked long way to office to ask for them and they were out.",

The only negative is the restaurant, the Blue Wave Bar and Grill, had terrible service.

"traverse:reviewText": "We damaged the front bumper of our car (at a different location). Returning to our hotel room, I called the hotel front desk and asked if we could get some duct tape to temporarily repair the bumper. We didn’t want to drive home, 8 hours, with half of the bumper whipping in the wind, and maybe ripping off. The front desk gal said, “Of course. I think I can get a repairman to stop by right now.“ Five minutes later, I met up with SIMON, and he did have duct tape. But upon looking at the partially torn off fender, he got out some screws and his electric drill, and put in 3 or four 4 self-tapping screws, hidden in the wheel well, re-attaching, permanently, the fender to the car. A perfect fix as opposed to $500 body shop fix. I want you to appreciate what he did. I’ve spent countless hours on the phone getting computer software support. But it’s their software. That’s their job. Simon is a hotel repairman, with no responsibility whatsoever for guests‘ cars. Yet, he spent 20 minutes, using his repairman problem-solving skills to repair my fender, making it fully roadworthy. He was not worried or concerned that this was outside of his area of responsibility, or his professional skill set. He wasn’t worried about a lawsuit if things went wrong. And he wasn’t worried about his boss chewing him out for doing something outside of the hotel’s role. A stay at a hotel can be deeply harmed by one small bad customer service experience. The opposite is true also. This experience with Simon was deeply appreciated by both me and my wife. An unexpected, awkward problem on our vacation solved in 20 minutes. This made our stay at this hotel special. I could also tell similar, though less dramatic stories, about waitresses at the hotel restaurant, Justine and Stacey, who were sensitive to my wife’s many food allergies. And Maria, the restaurant, hostess, who sort of has became friends with my wife. Or I could mention Eugene, who returned my $35 cap. Which any waiter, anywhere should do, but it needs to be acknowledged. So, a deep thank you to Simon, and the other employees. Thank you to the ownership and management that has empowered and given permission to workers like Simon to provide really great customer service. And yes, this was the best customer service experience of my life. Thank you, guys.",

There were a few pools that you could lounge around for good views of the marina. Food was great for hotel food with lots of Mexican-style foods, loads of guacamole, and a great range of breakfast options. There was never enough water, however. The rooms were a bit dark, but opened to the sunrise every morning. They had cute decks that you could sit out and enjoy. I ended up paying an outrageous price for one extra night which is why I downgraded a star. It wasn't worth the value and I probably would have moved had it been my own hotel",

The TV was a bit big, but everything was OK. Breakfast is a la carte and if you book with breakfast you get vouchers, but you have to pay for drinks up to $16 yourself, which I don't think is so good. Parking spaces do not have to/should not be booked, as they cost around $25 per night. Free parking spaces are opposite the hotel, right on the water.

The view to the parking lot in the first floor was not enticing and the room in the small side, very basic. But as days went by (we stayed 3 days) I was happy for my selection. First, the bed was comfy (pillows so-so but that's the norm), the housekeeping was great, the reception desk amazing. Then we realized that, yes we have the parking lot view, but cross the street and you'll find the sea and boats. Beautiful. Second, loved the area. Loved it. I'd stay again here in a heartbeat. Then parking lot: yes you have to pay 22 USD (or so) to park in the premises overnight, but you have plenty of free parking across the street and you can also park your car during the day even without a permit: we returned to take a breather every day and that was awesome. Overall, yes I'd stay here again. Small, a bit on the basic side, but clean, good service, next to the sea and marina... Yup, all good!",

We noticed this on our third night. Since it was after 9 PM we called the front desk and spoke to Alex to have the maintenance check it in the morning. The next day no calls, no voicemails, and no missed calls…no follow up calls. We ended up just closing the toilet lid every time otherwise the bathroom would smell like a sewer. Housekeeping forgot to service our room even though they were right next door when we left and I made sure the sign to make up the room was hanging. I called the front desk, they sent the housekeeping, I told them we were leaving and they could come anytime. When we came back, the bed was made up and the towels were replaced but the dirt on the floor was not cleaned. This is the same day we noticed the sewer smell in the bathroom. When we checked in there we no trashliners. The nightstand varnish was peeling. The coffeemaker has mold and it's obvious that it was not cleaned prior to our check in. Other than that our stay was nice..The hotel staff was nice, the restaurant staffs were very accommodating and very friendly. I would come back here, it's a very nice location. Thank you.",

Our dates somehow magically were for the previous week. No email from the hotel asking if we were coming, no contact whatsoever. Then when we tried to check in the nice guy behind the counter said oh your reservations were for last week??? So we had to pay for our stay again. Lucky for us the third party vendor, after contacting BW said they would refund it. BW said it was not their fault. Again, when no one shows up for 3 days I am sure you rented those rooms.",

I may not have thought of a Best Western for a wedding venue in the past, but this place far exceeded my expectations on every level. The rooms and the entire hotel were very clean. Impressive for being on the water. Each room had a patio with furniture so you could sit outside and relax. The grounds are beautiful and well-tended. Visually appealing anywhere you look. All the photos below are from the immediate vicinity of the hotel. Shelter Island is very walkable, with water views and parks, a pier, food & coffee. There was also a specialty coffee machine available near the lobby until 10:00 each morning. My go-to was mocha latte. They were fabulous. The event was held in an outside area with an arch overlooking the marina. The event coordinator and staff were extremely friendly and helpful, sometimes going out of their way to ensure the wedding and reception were perfect. From setup to ceremony to reception, everyone was on point. The servers we had were amazing - attentive and considerate. The food at the reception was absolutely delicious. Steak cooked perfectly and the corn risotto was delicious. There is also a bar and grill available right in the hotel (reviewed separately) which was very convenient. I could not have asked for anything more from this hotel. It's in a beautiful location, with wonderful and professional staff.",

Its wooden frame creaks and sags, and you can smell the rot in halls and rooms. This building lacks the character of the older parts of the resort and the luxury of the Casa Marina building. You can fix that by picking the right room, but you can't fix the $25 NIGHTLY PARKING FEE management has added! In Point Loma! It takes a lot of nerve to rip people off like that when you're already the only BW in town without free breakfast. That said, I loved the BW Yacht Harbor a mile down the street that gives you both free breakfast and free parking.",

"traverse:reviewText": "Great location in the city. I Ubered with my wife everywhere and the biggest bill was 20 dollars. Central location but quiet and surrounded by the bay and the marina. Go for a walk or a bike ride or a swim or just chill. Pools were clean and well maintained as were the hot tubs. Our room overlooking the Marina was spacious and clean with a huge TV and a small balcony. AC worked fine as did everything else. Bed and pillows were comfortable, check in was painless and quick, staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Marina building third floor 670 and I used Best Western Points to stay for the entire visit so I can't speak to price points exactly. Also the restaurant was excellent. Someone really knows what they are doing back of house, and front of house staff were excellent as well. I have stayed in fancier and newer hotels, but overall this was a solid 5 star for me. Enjoyed it and we would recommend and return again.",

We had a lovely view of the harbor from our room, the restaurant was delicious and the staff there are awesome! It was pretty quiet, but I'm sure the hotel itself was only about half full and it seemed like they were remodeling a lot of the rooms. The grounds were well maintained and I loved the ease with which you could just walk around. The only cons were that there are limited options to eat on a budget and without a vehicle to venture out. There are many high end options, but they get pricey if that's all you're eating. We ended up using Door Dash to deliver some grocery items for some quick bites to eat. But other than that the area is lovely with water on both sides, we felt totally safe walking around, even at night. The hotel took great care of us!",

Reported to hotel with no result or relief. This was an UPGRADED room at extra expense.

"traverse:reviewText": "This is a nice quiet hotel with ocean views. However I had two issues that I will not be going back or recommending. I was charged twice 2 separate charges for room plus $200 deposit fee. Then when I went to check out they said my card didn't go through ( because they had already taken the money) they said I had to pay with credit card which I did. So for 3 days I was charged $1,616.14 in total. The manager told me in 10 days the reservation charges would be refunded. 13 days later still no refund. I called 2xs to management. They now told me I have to contact the card company. What a headache!! Let me throw in that the hotel restaurant is way overpriced for the quality of food. I ordered breakfast and the breakfast sausage tasted like one of those cheap microwaveable frozen food patties. This is a nice area on Shelter Island Drive I suggest looking into other hotels on this street. Good luck!",

Views of the city, the bay & marina are great. Nice salt water pools & spas. The 2 bed suites in the older part of the hotel are great for families with a good sized living room, bedroom, deck, and a small kitchen with full sized fridge and electric stovetop.

I had a headache all night and was mad. Called the front desk they said they would send security to investigate. I thought this is a smoke free location. They said it is, and they would be charged $350 for violating rules, I asked to speak to a mgr. not on duty. Went to front desk in AM talked to front desk no Mgr. on duty yet explained issues, I was credited for half my stay. Parking is $25 a day, that is ridiculous. No continental breakfast. Elevator was out of order all weekend, suddenly Monday AM working. Vending machines were stocked wrong, hit button for a red Gatorade and blue came out. If you don’t like blue this is a problem.",

Unfortunately, I can say just the opposite for the staff in the rewards program. It is genuinely a group of, how does the expression go, corporate pinheads. I don't mean to be judgmental but I have never seen such a lack of common sense in my life. Again, my Kudos go to Danny and his fellow staff members for just having a positive attitude and willing to do what it takes. I've been coming to this establishment for over 10 years and I will continue unless the rewards program what's in somehow. All the best to you in San Diego at the Best Western Island Palms on Shelter Island. Love you guys. D.J. & Annette Diebold Scottsdale, AZ",

"traverse:reviewText": "My husband and I spent 8 nights at the Island Palms for our anniversary. This is a large hotel with two saltwater pools and hot tubs. We picked this hotel because of its location. Our room looked out at a public park and pier. Each morning, I would walk out the door and across the street and join a real community of people, running, walking dogs, strolling. The marina side of the hotel, had a beautiful mile long walk along 3 marinas. All of the staff were friendly and responsive. Because we were on a budget, we chose the less expensive room option. The rooms are small. Get a suite if you can. Rooms with balconies (non-suite) were the same size as ours and the metal chairs didn't look comfortable. There are plenty of places to sit outside. The rooms and balconies in the older portion of the hotel looked a bit more comfortable. That said, we loved the place. 20 minutes from everywhere we wanted to go and beautiful views in all directions. While we loved the location, the Naval base on Coronado Island could be quite loud at times, but never at night. We lived watching the huge navel ships go by. We will stay here again.",

I would have given this establishment a “ 5 “ rating had it not been for one poorly thought out service delivered with No thought to the Guest but rather how to ring up a few xtra dollars. Our location was beautiful. Our room was terrific. Vaulted ceiling, Plantion Shutter over looking the marina. Typical amenities you look for. Refrigerator & Microwave but No coffee maker which I thought was unusual. In all an excellent room. However, we ordered from the door hanging card that’s offered for morning room service. This was not what I was lead to believe and should be spelled out on the card as your filling out your order. When delivered to my room in a plastic grocery bag. A plastic bag handed to me with a carton inside. Some plastic utensils salt & pepper. For what I got and what they delivered I would have thought they would have at least sent along some paper plates. Imagine trying to eat 2 eggs over easy from the bottom of a cardboard carton.",

Modly and worn out - I only know such a smell from old, mouldy and stale houses. This was also criticized at the reception or asked for a new room. Answer then was that no other room is currently available and someone comes to spray something. Waiting now for 3 hours for the “Sprayer”...Never experienced anything like this in Europe. Luckily it's only two nights.",

We had an Easy check in, there was always friendly/helpful staff. The room was clean and had all the kitchen utensils we would need for cooking (queen suite) we were happy they came in to make beds/freshen towels and sometimes even did our dishes. What a treat! The pool area was always clean. I didnt see anything broken or damaged. The property was huge. And I enjoyed walking around in the safety of the compound. The restaurant staff was lovely and attentive. We enjoyed every minute of our stay at this beautiful property.and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.",

Our room was marina view, amazing, but harbor view rooms look great as well.

We are returning in April to celebrate our 23rd anniversary!! See you then! Laura Napoli Pacific Grove, CA",

"traverse:reviewText": "I've stayed here several times in the past, but this was not my favorite stay. Room smelled very musty/mildewy. It was also really too small to hold 2 queen beds, so it was very hard to move around. One bed was so close to the closet that I scraped my leg on the bedframe trying to get to my clothes. Also, the mirrored closet doors are blocked so that you don't have access to a full-length mirror. The TV is giant compared to the size of the room, so it was hard to watch. Oddly annoying, though minor, was that there was only one trash can, not one for the bathroom and one for the bedroom area. We kept moving it back and forth several times a day. Floors were pretty dirty--not visibly, but my freshly-washed feet got dirty just walking on the carpet! Because I've had several other very positive experiences with this property, I'll try them again in the future and hope I have better luck next time.",

It was the third hotel that we stayed at in San Diego on our trip and, although the other hotels we stayed at farther north were great, I kind of wish we had more time at this one. I had requested an early check-in, and I received a phone call at 12:30 p.m. letting me know our room was ready! I don't think that has ever happened to us. :) We stayed in a 3rd floor marina view room in the Casa Marina building that had a balcony with a beautiful view. The room was clean, spacious and well-appointed. The television was HUGE! I absolutely love the toiletries offered at Best Western Hotels. They smell divine! Shelter Island is a beautiful area to walk around and it's also nice and quiet. It was so nice to get up in the morning and walk across the street to the bay to watch the sunrise. I would highly recommend this hotel and hope to stay there again in the future!",

The lady at the reception was also very friendly and everything went quickly. When we arrived at the room wing, we had to search a bit until we found the room because the light on the veranda had gone out. It was the last room at the very outside of the complex. When we came in we were hit by a musty smell. The lock was also broken. This didn't make us feel safe because the hotel complex was accessible from everywhere. So we went to reception and asked to change rooms, which was done quite quickly. In the second room the smell of mold was even worse and the bed linen was very damp. So we went back to reception, now there was a man from the night shift who didn't react very friendly to our room change request, but just stared silently at his computer. He then changed us to an older part of the hotel, where there was a separate ventilation system. He gave the impression that this kind of thing happened often and that the smell of mold was well known. The third room was finally OK. All in all, for the very high price of €200 per night (the most expensive hotel on our trip), which didn't even include breakfast, we didn't feel cared for or valued. We liked the nice atmosphere of the hotel from the outside, the pool facilities and the fact that we were given a parking fee waiver upon request.",

"traverse:reviewText": "I had my door tag hung up for do no disturb for all 4 nights of my stay. Housekeeping entered my room twice. I reported it to the front desk after the first time it happened, but it happened again even though I complained about it. Front desk simply apologized, but obviously it was not enough to have that corrected. Sprinkler system turns on at 11pm. If you have a room near the sprinkler system or must walk through their grass area, beware that you must enter your room before 11pm.m otherwise you have to walk through the sprinklers and get wet before returning to your room. There are certain rooms that there are not other ways of bypassing the grass areas. My bathroom floor had a lot of debris. It looked like dust from construction or painting that peeled off thr wall. After housekeeping entered my room twice, that dust was still never cleaned off the floor.",

Sit and watch the Navy’s finest conduct exercises outside your room! Or take a leisurely walk along the waterfront walkway and soak in the sea breeze and sunset! You just simply cannot have a bad experience!",

I woulda advice to get the marina view rooms; the water view rooms do have a view of the bay, but you'll be looking at the parking lot as well. Overall, it's a great place to stay. (I stopped staying in downtown San Diego due to the noise and homeless population years ago- Island Palms in Point Loma is a far better option, especially if you have a family- Downtown is for people in their 20s that want to party.)",

Convenient location for San Diego International Airport with a relaxed atmosphere. We stayed here at he beginning and end of a two week vacation. Only stayed for one night at beginning so just had king room with water view in Marina del Mar building. Very roomy and comfortable with microwave and tea/coffee maker. Also balcony with two chairs. At the end we stayed for two nights in a king suite with water view on second floor of Block C. Again very comfortable room with full kitchen and outdoor seating area. Chose a water view room as husband a bit of a military enthusiast and opposite the waterway is Coronado Naval Base. He happily sat and watched the ships and helicopters from the balcony. The helicopters from the base are coming and going from early in the morning until late at night and if this may bother you (it didn't bother us) book a room overlooking the marina. Daughter and son in law had room overlooking the marina and couldn't hear the helicopters at all. Hotel has a very good restaurant/bar (Blue Wave Grill) on site which serves breakfast (I have reviewed this separately). Would definitely stay here again as a base for exploring San Diego.",

"traverse:reviewText": "I really had to think about this rating for awhile. I don't give 5-star ratings often. That said, they hit on literally everything, aside from the most minor of details. Let's dive a little further. A very pleasant check in. Layout is six buildings, front desk is second building from north to south. I was at the south end of the property, a bit of a hike with three bags. I made it work, though. It is a risk you take. I was given a very nice room that was well-kept, clean, safe, and one with a beautiful view! I could not find anything wrong with the room the entire time I stayed. Props. No shortage of entertainment and amenities within this resort. TWO pools, TWO hot tubs, a fitness center, a spa, tennis courts, and pickleball courts. Not to mention access points to multiple marinas (note that they are private) are also on the property. Grace Beach within walking distance. Busses with connections to other transit located just over a mile away, which I walked to and from daily without issue. The only thing wrong I found, the main pool area was lacking towels. That said, the pleasant weather worked in my favor, and allowed for some extra outside time. I did not dock points as a result of this. San Diego is a great city! And this resort is a great resort! I certainly will return the next time I am out there.",

"traverse:reviewText": "Please stop spraying Lysol disinfectant everywhere!!!! The smell inside the hotel rooms and hallways is disgusting! Instant headache. Also, something in the room gave me an asthma attack. Probably the overuse of aerosol disinfecting sprays. I overheard another guest describe the smell inside the hotel as “like a Starbucks bathroom.” I think that nailed it. The place is old and moldy, I guess they think spraying disinfectant constantly will make a difference. I had lots of trouble sleeping because of the smell. If you have asthma, allergies, or are sensitive to odors, this isn’t a place you should stay. I can’t ever recall being so uncomfortable or miserable at a hotel.",

We booked the breakfast rate which was really great because it allowed us to fill up before a busy day out. The couch in our room was a sofa bed and it wasn't very comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. Front desk/guest services was responsive every time we called. We also loved using the gorgeous pool, but being close to the hot tub meant we could hear the people there every night until about 11 pm when it closed. Sound proofing isn't great - a family member staying in another room heard people talking (not yelling or partying) until 3 am. Bring ear plugs and a sound machine!",

This was our second time staying here and we purposefully requested a certain building and floor. We were told this was not a problem however upon arrival we were booked into their older building. The room had a terrible odour that even my husband could not handle, so we asked to be moved. We were moved to where we had originally booked but were told it could only be for 2 days. After 2 days we were moved again! This time the whole entire room and floor had this awful smell to it. I had to buy room spray etc which somewhat helped. Please rip up the carpets! Clean the vents out and renovate the buildings! I love this place and really truly want to come back but am so leary due to this experience.",

"traverse:reviewText": "Location was beautiful. Check in was easy. Charge 25.00 per day to park in hotel parking lot or you park across the street at the bay. Make sure to figure that price in when you choose the hotel. The pool was beautiful and clean. We reserved a “scenic” suite, picture showed boats. However, our patio was over looking the parking lot, then the bay. Definitely not worth extra. The room was nice and big. Had to request bedding for sofa sleeper which they brought quickly. Master bedroom had the smoke detector completely off the wall, so that was weird to see an opening in the ceiling. Bathroom was very large. The only problem was the double sink was repaired but with miss matching hardware, I couldn’t help but to notice because the toilet sat directly across from the sink. The patio furniture and table were very dirty when we arrived. The last thing, the on-site restaurant was ok. The food was excellent. However, the service was horrible, our dinner took so so long and we had to request water refills or drink refills because we were never checked on. My biggest complaint was our waiter put that we were a party of 7, we were only 5. I figured this was because party of 6 or more they charge gratuity, which sucked for him because I would’ve tipped more. Also on top of that the restaurant charges a 5% surcharge to offset the increase in minimum wage. After the gratuity and surcharge that increased my bill by 77.50. Don’t get me wrong the restaurant is convenient but pricey. The front desk was super great and friendly. The surrounding area was nice. There are a lot of restaurants in the area that great.",

The room was small and it was hard to move around the room. Two, my room was across from the pool which wasnt bad until the evening. It was super loud with guest enjoying the pool until after 10 pm.

"traverse:reviewText": "I actually started with a great review, the front desk workers are great and I still stand by that. Sadly the stay began to become an awful experience and I needed to change the review. We booked a second room to surprise my daughter who was getting married. The reservation from what we were told was put in all wrong and she was asked to re check in everyday in the lobby to get new keys for our 5 day stay. Not a huge deal but inconvenient. Then they did not clean the room for 4 days. We spoke to desk staff and management and each time they apologized and but still…no cleaning was done. Dirty towels and hotel trash was also a bit irritating but we just took it all out and refreshed the room ourselves. The ironing board and iron were awful. We did our best to clean it as we did not inspect it when we arrived as we assumed it would be clean? Our mistake for sure, the iron ended up ruining my sons shirt so we had to rush and find a new one last minute. Small coffee pot in the room didn’t work and I really really need caffeine in the morning, went to lobby and their pot was empty. Thank goodness for Uber eats. All that being said I spoke with the manager again the day we left. I don’t get angry and scream and shout, I am respectful and just need to be heard and have issues corrected if possible. He did not really show any concern for our trip being so awful. Said he could send someone to clean the room now but what good does that do the last day? Told him about the iron and board just so they can replace it before someone else’s items get ruined and he looks at me and says do you have a photo of the shirt? I don’t want a free shirt my guy, I just want you to be aware that it’s a problem! He did offer a bottle of champagne after hearing about the wedding? I would rather have a sincere apology to be honest. For Almost $300 a night, I expect more. Beautiful location but run down, carpets are filthy, overall out dated and not worth the money. Management needs some training. You are sending guests to competitors by being insincere and not fixing the issue. We spent a lot of money and are very disappointed. Save yourself the headache. We recommend looking elsewhere to stay.",

It's well-kept, but not fancy. Great place for families. Comfortable bed, hot shower, good TV and WiFi. Shelter island is a good slow-paced vacation destination, and this place offers amazing harbor views. Worth the upgrade.",

"traverse:reviewText": "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.",

The beauty of the location has a lot to do with that, with the marina on one side , the bay on the other, walking paths all around. My room was not exceptional, as I did not get a water view, but it was clean. I appreciate the refrigerator and microwave , coffee maker. The beds were fine . The restaurant has great food, not cheap, but so much better than the usual BW fare. The IPA beers on tap were a little too strong, alcohol content wise for my liking, but a good bar atmosphere. Parking at 25 per night not a plus. Housekeepers were good. The hotel apparently is skimpy on waste baskets in the one bed room. One tiny wastebasket only. One housekeeper gave me another one , but next day's housekeeper took it back??",

"traverse:reviewText": "The Best Western Island Palms hotel occupies a huge property on Shelter Island, a San Diego-area peninsula that has served as a vacation area since at least the middle part of the last century. The property has been developed over time; the original island palms two-story structures date back to about 1958, the newer Casa del Mar section to about 1988, and the still newer Casa Marina building to about 2012. However, even the older rooms (we stayed in one) have been renovated, apparently in the not-too-distant past. The property retains a bit of an older feel; this is not one of the higher-end chains or one of the more pricey Shelter Island resorts, but if you don't mind that, it's a wonderful place to stay. The location, between the San Diego Bay on one side, and a marina, cannot be beat; it's also quiet and peaceful. The grounds are generally well-maintained, with beautiful gardens; the restaurant is good for breakfast and very good-to-excellent for lunch and dinner (not cheap for any meal, but competitively priced); the two pools (particularly the main one) are great; and the staff is excellent. It's not an inexpensive place to stay, but for the area, it's not bad in its price.",

We always get a king junior suite which has a living area, dining area with kitchen (toaster, blender, mini fridge, coffee maker, microwave, utensils, sink), a large bathroom and bedroom. It's perfect for our family. The kitchen area allows me to bring food along for breakfasts and lunches to save on some food costs. The living area has a pull-out sofa for our kids. The pool area is fantastic.....sparkling blue water, pleasant atmosphere and view of the yacht harbor. We enjoyed a bonus polynesian dance performance one afternoon which was fun! The restaurant was great - yummy fish and chips. Across the street is a wonderful bayside walk with a playground, picnic tables and a delightful little beach perfect for families with young kids (tiny, lapping waves). We love being able to walk to the beach. We have stayed here almost every year for many years now and will continue to do so!",

Very good food and service.location is awesome.needs some room updating.get rid of old dirty carpets and put in vinyl planking like other hotel chains are doing. Clean chairs and couches more often and replace/fix torn ones. Need to make sure there are pool towels availability at pool.sometime the price of room gets way too much. One day can be say $150 a nite then Same room goes up to $300…especially weekends.

The other side is ok, looks over the bay between Point Loma and downtown, and across from the Naval Air Station. It can be a bit noisy due to the Navy planes and choppers, but somebody has to defend us! Two great pools, a very pleasant boardwalk/walkway. The only downsides were a master bathroom floor that had several long black hairs from a prior guest, and some crusty spots, upon arrival. The housekeeping took car off the hairs but the crusties never went away. The bathrooms ought to be bleach water mopped with every housekeeping. Also the front room in my suite in room 514 had ketchup or blood on the ceiling over the desk, but I only noticed it on the last day, and I didn't expect housekeeping to notice it, because who ever looks up at the ceiling regularly? At any rate, great stay, with plenty of free parking across the street at the public waterfront access, if you don't want to pay the $25 a night parking fee. It's really not necessary unless you are disabled or need the shortest possible walk to your car for some reason.",

"traverse:reviewText": "We stayed at this hotel from July 23-29, during Comic-Con season. We got this hotel in the OnPeak hotel lottery, our first time trying it and it worked quite well! Our room was in a central location, right outside the main pool's gates and next to the lobby, but it was a little smaller than we were expecting for triple occupancy (last time we stayed here we had a balcony), and with no natural light unless you opened the blinds all the way - not ideal as we were right outside the pool where many people passed by. Shelter Island is a great location, we always love to stay here as it is a little quieter away from the madness of the convention and downtown, and it's very walkable, with many small restaurants, coffee shops, and hotels along it. The distance from the downtown was slightly annoying considering we were going to the convention centre most days of our stay, but the shuttle outside was frequent and we always found a spot. There is also a bus stop on the island and rideshare services, of course. Breakfast in the hotel restaurant/bar was very nice, and with a great view over the marina. Our servers were really friendly (as was all of the staff we encountered). The pool was also nice and empty in the mornings but extremely busy in the evenings so recommend going earlier - it does suddenly drop from 3-7ft however so be careful, especially with kids! You also need a wristband and pool towels, but you can get these from reception. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying at this hotel again.",

I was very happy with my choice of this hotel where we recently stayed for 4 nights in a king bed suite (2 rooms/2 full bathrms!) in the Casa del Mar bldg facing marina. Arrived evening of July 4th and saw a beautiful fireworks display in front of hotel on bay. Our room was clean, wonderful & spacious for the 3 of us except the bathroom had not been renovated yet which on phone was told it would be. All the windows could be opened and, with temps in 70's, was a delight since we had just visited Palm Springs (110F). Pull out was comfortable for our daughter as was our king. I chose the breakfast package which amounted to a $16/pp/per day voucher. NOTE: gratuity is included (should be printed on voucher). We were not informed & were giving tips to our servers personally until we got a receipt because we ordered other items. Also, it is not $16 total but a breakfast entree up to $16. Location was great -from here it was a short ride to all the places we wanted to visit. We would definitely stay here again but request a room closer to main bldg where restaurant is. Parking space close to room location was difficult to find after 9pm.",

Eat in their pleasant restaurant. The location was great; near everything we wanted to be close to. The bed was very comfortable; the room was spotless. There are lots of plugins for electronics.

Just as a tip they charge 25 $ a night to park on property so if you are staying multiple nights or if yiu just want to save 25 $ over 1 night park across the street and the beach free parking. I did that for my 4 night stay and they did let me unload my car on property real quick.",

I made an error and booked an extra night, which I cancelled either in person at the front desk when we were leaving or by phone. I guess I did not check that I'd received a cancellation because when my husband got his credit card bill, the second night was on there. I called to explain the mistake and was told essentially to pound sand. We travel a lot and I'll never stay in a Best Western again.",

Visiting here over NYE -- closing out one year, beginning the next -- has been an important tradition for our family for a dozen years or so. I was so bummed when we had to miss one year (2020 covid year) but have been so happy to be back there the last four years. And we are excited to go again for 2025/26. This place is the best. It's seriously got one of the best settings (lovely marina view on one side, bay view on the other) of any hotel we have ever been to. The amenities (hot tub, restaurant, workout room, etc) are topnotch. And, most importantly, the staff is so helpful and kind. Everybody there is great, but it's really Danny (at the front desk) who has always gone out of his to make sure my family has everything we need for our stays. I seriously love this hotel.",

We had the "do not make up the room" sign on the door but it was obvious that someone let themselves in. They tucked my wallet into the wrong pocket after taking only the cash and zipping it back up. Good lesson to always lock stuff away but very disappointing though. We didn't have time to stick around and find out how this happened and obviously we weren't getting our cash back (It was both our Canadian and American and approx $120 ish).

Shelter Island is still old school and has not been turned into developments with skyscrapers. Nothing higher than 2 or 3 stories. The Bar/Lounge Happy Hour is the way to go. Prices are very good, even for wine, which was fine and drinkable. The food is quite tasty and we were quite surprised how good it was. Breakfast in the hotel is actually a REAL breakfast. Not those chaotic buffets with tons of people running around and grabbing stuff and fake eggs. You order from the menu! Breakfast served hot and to order. No chaos. Window seats on the water.",

We spent some time in La Jolla to walk along the water and then headed to Shelter Island. We were able to check in an hour early. We then went for a walk along the water right in front of the hotel! It is gorgeous! This is one of the best parts of this hotel. The other major positive is that we can walk to Ketch for dinner! We love being able to walk to eat or get a coffee! There’s a coffee and gelato place right next to Ketch. There are a few other restaurants within walking distance too. We love dining with a water view. We have stayed at BW Island Palms about five times now and will definitely be back! The only thing that surprised us this time was the $25 parking fee. We don’t remember ever having to pay that in the past. There’s free parking across the street though. Overall, this is a beautiful location!. We always request a marina view!",

We arrived via Uber about 10am and were promptly checked in by Alex and Clinton in the nicest way possible! Our room was ready, which was areal blessing to us, since hubby didn't feel well and needed to rest. We stayed in the Casa Marina building, room 863, which had a beautiful view to the channel (I didn't expect a view at all and it was amazing!). We immediately used the balcony and really enjoyed it. The room was large and well appointed, a bit older in it's appearance, but very clean and comfortable! The property has two pools, a hot tub, exercise room, computers and a restaurant on site. Breakfast is not included in the price, but available at the Blue Wave restaurant (we didn't have breakfast, since we had to be at the airport at 6am). We had dinner that night though at the Blue Wave (see separate review). All staff we had contact with was amazingly nice and I had a question about my bill after we got home and Anette took care of it immediately! Yes, it might be an older property, but would love to stay there again!",

The restaurant and bar, whilst having a fairly limited menu, serves up lovely food with friendly and courteous staff. The rooms are perfectly adequate for our needs but could perhaps benefit from a refresh in the near future. The location is fantastic having amazing marina views to the rear and bay view to the front and is well located for the international airport. Since returning home (to the UK) we have an issue that we wish to discuss directly with customer service at the hotel. We have sent several emails and contacted Best Western in the UK to confirm the correct email address. To date, no-one has replied to our communications. We would appreciate if a member of the management team would reach out to us at the earliest opportunity in order to quickly resolve our outstanding issue. We are making plans to return to Island Palms later this year.",

Yacht-basin view is quiet and super chill, but comes with higher price. All parking is $25/night: steep by local standards.

We came across Isle of Palms. Prior to booking, we stopped in and asked a few questions. The manager gladly let us see a couple of rooms. We chose the king style balcony with a view over the beautiful marina. It was spacious and clean. With great views.. The tropical field in and outside this hotel was so cool. The two pools overlooking the marina with hot tubs are always clean and just really pretty. The outdoor bar area and restaurant had great views at the marina. Although the hotel charges for parking, you could opt not to pay and find your own parking. It was easy parking available right across the street.! The only bummer is that we could not get the free bikes to unlock despite having the code. Since they go through a company, the hotel couldn’t really help us. We were unable to get a hold of the company to use the bikes that are supplied at the hotel. Despite this, We had a fabulous stay of five nights !! We would absolutely stay here again !",

The location takes us away from the business of the city but allows easy access to San Diego’s beaches, restaurants, Sea World, Sea Port Village etc. We love the green grassy area across the street to watch the sail boats and military ships pass by. It’s perfect for a picnic and has a good playground for little children. We also love walking the length of Shelter Island. The staff is always friendly and we have seen the same faces for years. We enjoy eating at the Blue Wave restaurant that overlooks the marina. The food is great and the service is excellent. We recently asked a waitress why she has worked for such a long time at this restaurant. She stated that the employees are treated like family and are well cared for by the owners. This week we are here for a little R and R to recharge and relax so we can continue our busy work lives. I recommend you try Island Palms!",

Since we found the Best Western Plus Island Palms and Marina, we have a true "home away from home" in San Diego. We just keep coming here year after year and it never disappoints. There are so many reason why we love the place. But one of the top reasons is the amazingly helpful and cool front desk staff, captained for years by Danny -- a man who goes out of his way to make guests feel welcome. There are also fantastic views on both side of the hotel (one direction is the Bay and San Diego skyline and the other is over the marina and up to Point Loma). And there are sooooo many great restaurants within walking distance here on Shelter Island. We look forward to visiting here every year! Thanks to Danny and the staff for all they do!",

On a positive note, the longtime maintenance man, "Simon" is still on the job and was the best representative of this hotel! Also, housekeeping was amazingly prompt and accommodating! Things get old, this is an amazing location but mold, mildew and greed have moved in. A renovation is definitely indicated. Higher prices could be charged. Front desk staff need to be fired and customer service-oriented replacements hired. In particular, management needs changed as they are the leadership Stewarts and responsible for the way customers are treated and problems solved. Your customers are able to detect uncaring staff (Jennifer) and lies. I'm so sorry to not be returning to this once favorite hotel twice each year for a week or more.",

For my first stay, I arrived about 4 hours before normal check-in, but Clinton at the front desk found me a room and checked me in early, which I greatly appreciated because it had been a long day of travel. I had a great room facing the marina in back of the property. It had a nice little patio and there was a walkway to the marina, pool, and hotel restaurant. The grounds are lovely and extremely well-maintained. My room was really cozy and smelled really clean when I walked in. The bed and pillows were a dream to sleep on. All of the staff that I had contact with were great! This property is across the street from a lovely park that seems popular with the locals. Very close to a naval training station, so the military aircraft flying around was pretty interesting. I felt safe as a female solo traveler.",

It is quiet, seems more like a neighborhood than a resort area and really convenient to get to other areas in San Diego. And San Diego Bay is right there. This hotel is nicer and a better value than other hotels in the area. The staff is friendly, professional and fast.",

"traverse:reviewText": "I really don’t know where to begin. When I checked in I was informed that there was a $25 parking fee. I informed the clerk that we would park elsewhere and not in the lot so we would not be charged the fee. We went up to the room, which was on the second floor and there are no elevators. The room itself was spacious and comfortable. I went to take a shower. Inside the shower there were 3 bottles of shampoo attached to the wall but no conditioner and no body wash. So that was annoying. Later that evening I went to make up the sofa bed for my son and there was no blanket. So I decided to call the front desk to ask about a blanket and the missing shower items but the phone didn’t work. At this point I had to walk over to the front desk to ask for the shower items and blanket. Be aware that the rooms are not in the same building as the front desk. There were no apologies or anything but they gave me the shower items and said they would send someone up with the blanket. This was around 9:15 pm. At 10:00 still no sign of the blanket so I then had to go back down to the desk and now I was really annoyed. Still no apology, I was just told that she was busy bringing things to rooms. Not sure why so many rooms didn’t have what was meant to be in the room! About ten minutes later someone finally showed up with the blanket. When I went to check out there was a line at the desk but an option for express check out. By now I was suspicious of this place so I waited in line to check out and asked for a print out. Sure enough, there’s the $25 parking fee. When I asked why I was being charged when I explicitly told the clerk at check in that I wasn’t using the on site parking I was told that the fee is always added regardless of what the customer says. So I had to wait while the fee was removed. I wonder how many people do the express check out and never notice that fee on their bill? Bottom line, the rooms are nice as is the property but the service is atrocious. I really wouldn’t recommend this place, but if you decide to go be aware that there is a free parking lot with tons of spaces directly across the street and check your bill so you can get the parking fee removed! But really why stay someplace so sneaky?!",

"traverse:reviewText": "When we booked this stay, the hotel was still pet-tolerant (extra fee), but we were informed upon check-in that it will no longer allow pets in the near future. Our first room was in a noisy area by the pool, and when we asked if we could get a quieter room, it was not a problem and were given one directly across from the bay (bottom floor). We did not book an upgrade room, so were fine with a view of the parking lot. It turned out to be perfect, as we could walk right across the street and sit in the grass on the bay, and watch the boats and walkers. The backside of the hotel faces the marina, with some grass areas and chairs to watch the sunset. A sidewalk runs all around the marina and bay side for a nice walk. At the end of the island there were seals to watch. There is a restaurant & bar on the grounds, yet pricey. A coffee machine is available in the lobby between 6-10 am if you don't prefer the tiny machines in the room. A fridge and microwave helped save $ when we brought breakfast makings to enjoy. The location is a quick drive to Point Loma, Mission Bay, Pacific Beach, downtown San Diego and the Embarcadero. The staff was very friendly and personable. The housekeeper for our room was flexible with our schedule and kept us updated of her schedule as well. There is a quaint tiny food spot on the fishing pier (Fathom Bistro Bait Tackle) that serves unique sausage and craft brews. Very tiny dining area inside, and a few tables outside. A must-try when on Shelter Island. The room was comfortable, with a wall A/C unit that kept room cool (a little loud), wood blinds on the windows let light in during the morning, but not too bad. The first night was a bit noisy (thin walls/floors), but after the family left, it was very quiet and pleasant. Enjoyed our stay. There are extra fees for parking (per night). Would stay again when we could afford it, and no dog with us.",

"traverse:reviewText": "We arrived at 3 pm. I knew check in was 4pm so I was not surprised when I was told I would be called when the room was ready or if I wasn’t called by 4 to come back. The only issue was the front desk agent was really hard to understand, she mumbled and seemed a bit spacey. We walked away asking each other “what was she saying?”. After 4, with no call, back to the desk. Huge line. When I finally made it to the front, our room still was not ready. Apparently there was a communication issue between housekeeping and the front desk. After some back and forth, we finally had a room. I want to commend Maria for helping us. She was in training and I could tell stressed but she was friendly and efficient. We had a double suite with a full kitchen. Walking in, we were disappointed. Our scenic view was of other buildings roofs and a tiny sliver of water seen between huge trees. Everything was really worn and outdated. Not only worn, the room was DIRTY. There were splatters all over the old kitchen cabinets, inside them and under the sink. The ceiling fan was filthy with black dirt all over it. The carpets were questionable to walk on with bare feet. The kitchen on inspection was lacking. This suite sleeps six (sofa sleeper) but I found three coffee cups, three plates, four saucers and three bowls. In the silverware drawer was three forks and knives, four spoons. No glasses only cheap plastic cups. No cutting knives. I found some banged up pots and pans, a couple of cooking utensils, coffee pot, toaster. That’s it. No dish towels, no pot holders. Under the sink a used sponge and a half-empty tiny bottle of dish soap. In the bedroom, the beds were on the firm size but manageable. Unfortunately, one pillowcase had black stains all over it. The beds were so close to the wall/closet that the second person would have issues getting in and out. That’s when I realized that although the room had been “updated” it was only at 50%. For example, they had a granite shower surround and countertop but left the worn out tub and cracked sink. The toiletries were communal attached to the shower wall but the shower gel was completely empty. There weren’t any washcloths. There were just so many little things. Paint was chipping all over. The toilet needed two flushes to work. The shower valve leaked. There were broken blinds. The bedroom door didn’t actually have a latch so didn’t really close. The bedroom fan squeaked all night. We had to keep calling for supplies that should have been replenished like the plastic cups. We finally got washcloths but I had to ask for them. This “resort” was on the cheaper side for San Diego. However, you get what you pay for. I wish we had paid a little more for a cleaner, better maintained property.",

"traverse:reviewText": "Booked this hotel based upon the reviews that said there was a playground and beach on the peninsula, in addition to the 2 hotel pools & 2 hot tubs. The hotel felt very private, secluded and safe. There was plenty of free street parking for during the day, and the parking lots (across from the hotel) were supposedly free overnight and at your own risk. I didn't rent a car this trip, so I didn't test it out. There is hotel parking for $25/night in their parking lots, and also a garage near the tennis courts for overflow. When booking the room on-line direct with the hotel, there is an option to "Include breakfast" for approximately $15 to $20 more per night. I ended up booking this option, which allowed a $16 credit towards an entree (at the hotel restaurant) on the Breakfast Menu (7am-11am) for each person on the reservation. We enjoyed starting our vacation day with a nice breakfast. Most of the entrees are priced between $14-$16, so we only had to purchase coffee or juice, if we wanted it. The $16 credit, also paid the tip on the bill as well, so that was nice and unexpected. We still tipped on our meal to be generous, as we had excellent service every morning. The front desk could improve check-in information- I only found out days later they have a fancy coffee machine across the lobby for free from 7am-10am, it's kind of hidden, so I didn't notice it ever. There was also a Polynesian show on Thursdays (which we missed) and a DJ pool party/music on Fridays (we also missed). The hotel location is ideal. It's away from the hotel that hosts concerts (Humphrey's?), so the concert noise isn't a nuisance. This hotel does not charge a resort fee, which was amazing. The other fancy hotel next door, was crazy expensive and did have a steep resort fee too. I loved that the area was safe and I was able to run around Shelter Island, which was a 3.5 mile loop and perfect to continue my marathon training while out of town. Only con- the room was a little musty/humid, but the marina is right outside the room, and the other side of the building has open water as well. The air conditioning wall units worked great, so that was a big plus.",

Ice machine didn’t work, parking is extremely limited and they need more luggage carts. We had one breakfast at the hotel restaurant which could have been much better. The oatmeal I had was the consistency of soup. We also ordered sandwiches to go for our sailing trip on The America, but they were soggy and they didn’t follow our request regarding no condiments. Nice to have water on both sides of the hotel. We stayed in the Casa Del Mar building which has an elevator. Both pools are very small.",

Bathroom was decent. Shower head was small and did not produce a decent spray. Mattress was way too firm for a comfy night sleep, but as a regular traveler, i've learned to suck it up.

"traverse:reviewText": "I absolutely loved staying at the Best Western Island Palms Hotel on Shelter Island for the last four nights. There is so much to recommend it, I barely know where to begin. The location itself was gorgeous. Shelter Island is a strip of land (not really an island) jutting into San Diego's "Big Bay," with a view of the opening to the ocean on one side and a harbor of yachts on the other. At one tip of the island to the Southwest there were some big sea lions lounging about and occasionally jousting with each other. A short and beautiful walk up Shelter Island Drive takes you to a number of restaurants and coffee providers. The island is positioned such that you can get beautiful views of both the sunrise and the sunset, and I enjoyed both during my stay. It's a quick drive from there to Downtown, Coronado Island, Mission Bay, or even La Jolla, so as a jumping off place alone I'd recommend it. (By the way, I saw dolphins off Mission Beach and separately, off Coronado! Keep your eyes peeled - they're off the Pacific Coast all summer long.) There's a long strip of grass on the Big Bay side of the island with a paved walkway that lets you stroll the entire length of the island. There are a few sculptures - all beautiful - to explore here, and great picnicking areas as well. There are plenty of benches if you want to just sit and take in the bay as well. The Best Western Island Palms Hotel had that mysterious element - "charm" - that is missing from so many modern properties. Rather than a tall tower of cookie cutter rooms, this was a two-story property (and one-story in spots, such as where I stayed). Some of the units had patios or balconies, and nearly all had views of the water in one direction or another. There were two pools and two Jacuzzis. The pool nearest me had a rounded, asymmetrical shape that I found appealing. Both Jacuzzis were round and small, but big enough for several people, and the other pool was long and rectangular, with a fireplace (gas) at the end that was lit at night. I thought I could gather with other people there, but one family took it over and ignored anyone else who tried to sit nearby. I had a room right off the pool, and when I opened the door to enter the room for the first time, I was thrilled by its loveliness. The room had two queen beds under a slanted ceiling with wooden beams, a remarkably quiet air conditioner, and a ceiling fan if you wanted to cool off more quickly. The rooms had large plantation shutters, that I could open or close at will. The bathroom was truly beautiful - a dark reddish-brown polished granite graced the shower and sink area. There was no tub - just a shower - which was all I planned to use anyway. In the bedroom area, The HD TV sat on a long cabinet that served as a desk at one end and housed open shelves at the other, with just enough drawer space for my clothes and a much-used refrigerator for small food and beverage items. There was also a microwave, but I talked myself out of microwave popcorn and didn't use it. One minor annoyance: the room I was in was better suited to a King bed, because with two queens, it was a squeeze to get to the closet or the shutters on the window. But this was minor. One other note: I found a large, furry caterpillar on my wall there the last day. It didn't appear to be harmful, so I let it be. That was the only bug I saw in the room, thank goodness! Right outside my door was the gate to one of the two pools on the property. This curved pool had a truly "deep" end (8') as well as a shallow end. The pool was comfortably warm, as was the nighttime weather, so I swam one night until nearly 11 pm, the closing time for the pool (it opens at 8am, for those who enjoy an early dip). Just outside the pool were bicycles for rent (free to hotel guests), but I saw a father and son having some frustration with the phone app that made the bikes available. I didn't try it, but I saw many were missing during the day and back at night, so clearly people figured out how to get them that to work. There is a restaurant on the property, the Blue Wave Bar and Grille, that had killer fish and chips - the fries were as delicious as the freshly breaded cod. It was a little pricey, but I didn't mind because it was so tasty. I had a burger there that was not cooked to my specification (I asked for medium rare and it was well done) and was messy as heck to eat. I'd recommend skipping that, unless well-done and messy is your jam! The drinks were reasonably priced for the area. I loved the blood orange margarita and the pina colada (which you could order with an extra float of rum, if you wanted). Both came from pre-made slush mixes and were delicious! But it was really the people that worked on this property that made my stay fun and memorable. The man who checked me in gave me a choice of rooms but suggested the one near the pool and restaurant, and it was a good choice, as that's where I spent most of my time when I was not off exploring San Diego. All the waitresses at the restaurant were kind and solicitous (I didn't complain to them about the burger, btw). I never tried the coffee at the restaurant because there was free coffee in my room. The view from the restaurant deck of the marina was just wonderful. On Thursday night, a fire dancer performed at the main pool - two 15 minutes shows, 45 minutes apart. Before the show, people were handed Styrofoam-covered light sticks with three patterns. Between shows, I gave mine to a kid who had missed getting one. He was so happy - that made my day! Also between shows, the manager talked to me, and I expressed my pleasure at the place and the people. My only criticism, I told him, was that I should have been able to order food and a drink from my pool seat and not had to walk up to the restaurant. He said they had done that recently but were short staffed that week. I know personally I would have eaten more had that been available, so maybe it was good that it wasn't! ;-) But the manager then personally delivered to me, poolside, a pina colada, gratis, which was a super kind gesture! It was clear that the guest came first at this property, a practice sorely missing at most properties these days. You can't go wrong with a stay here, and it works for older singles (like me) or younger people with large families (like many of the other guests I interacted with). I can’t wait to book a trip there next year. I don’t usually return to a place I’ve been before unless there’s a compelling reason. But there are a several reasons to return to this place. I just hope the same manager and staff are there when I return!",

We booked a room with 2 queen bedsw - and that is about all that can fit in the room. Seriously there was 10 inches of space between the edge of the bed and the closet doors. The room was very cramped and while the sheets and pillows were very comfortable, the mattress was worn down on one side and you could feel it slant down from left to right.",

The pool is wonderful, the beach is right across the street and the staff never disappoints. After a few months away we finally returned, the experience was amazing! They had fire dancing! My kids loved it. The staff handled out lights for the kids and we enjoyed. As we walked backed to our rooms we enjoyed cornhole and jenga. The dinner was amazing! This truly is a hidden gem!!!! Thank you Leidy for a great experience!!!!",

"traverse:reviewText": "We were originally booked at a place across the bay, and we were very unhappy. Looked this place up last minute on Trip Advisor, so glad we did, and that they had a room for 2 nights. Even though this is not on the beach the water views are amazing. If you are on the Marina side the views of the Marina are beautiful. We would like to stay again, and stay on the first floor at Casa Del Mar by the pool, great view and easy access to everything. Do not compare this place to a Best Western, this is nothing like you see. This place had 2 pools, a walking trail along the Marina and there is a walking trail in the front as well along the water too. It has great view of San Diego during the day and at night, absolutely stunning. We stayed in a 2 queen bed room. Many extras here, within walking distance to restaurants and a amphitheater where they had a concert both nights we were there. We are actually thinking about coming back to stay here. You can save a bit of money vs staying right on the beach, and honestly we’d come back to visit the culture and activities. Great value too.",

It is a nice getaway for a couple and lots of restaurants and activities nearby. There is plenty of things to do and see in the surrounding areas and is also a nice place to just stay and relax and have a couples time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is also a great option for families to have a base camp for all of their San Diego excursions.",

"traverse:reviewText": "The absolute most overrated hotel I’ve ever witnessed. It had 4.5 out of 5 rating and it should be .5, and that’s probably too high. The room pictures must be from a long time ago. Beyond mad. I’m calling Best Western tomorrow and letting them know that I will no longer be staying in their overrated hotels. What’s with the no coffee in the rooms? How cheap can you be? I’m going to demand money back; 4.5 rating is false. This hotel has nothing on Motel 6. I walk in the room and almost trip over the bed. Literally the door was about 4 inches from the bed. Spartan furnishings and cheap. Looks like they put anything in there. Nightstand was far below the bed. Furniture was old. You would think if a hotel doesn’t have in room coffee, that they would make some available in the lobby early in the morning. Not this hotel; 6:30AM is when coffee is available in the lobby.",

We only had two nights in San Diego and we were on a tight budget. Our room slept six and unlike some other hotels the pullout bed was actually extremely comfortable. The two pools were lovely and the area around the hotel is absolutely stunning. We loved walking to get coffee at a cute little café along the harbor.",

"traverse:reviewText": "I booked this hotel in large part based on its reviews. But traveler beware - there is a huge difference between the quality of your experience depending on what room you get. The difference in room price doesn't begin to reflect the actual difference. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra few bucks for a "marina view" - or at least call ahead to understand what you're getting. We booked a "superior" double queen room. I'd hate to see their non-superior rooms. What we got was a room on the ground floor whose door was right off the fumes in the parking lot, with a noisy AC unit by the door - like in the cheapest motels you've seen in movies. The room size was minuscule - two queen beds barely fit. For our last night of our stay we booked a room closer to the airport at a Motel 6 and it felt like a luxurious upgrade (space-wise). Now I should also mention the things we enjoyed about this hotel: its location in a park-like setting on Shelter Island, cleanliness, the amenities (pool, restaurant on site), and the high quality of the fixtures (bathroom, TV). They had a ridiculously large TV in the room, which was nice but further underscored how crammed the room was. I wish there was more transparency in advertising the various rooms this hotel offers. The broom closet we stayed in should not be priced on par with a quiet room on the other side of the building.",

This time, we came to dine at their restaurant, that sits up on a deck, overlooking the marina, the pool, and the hills of Point Loma. It was a 5 Star experience. Our waitress Stacy was so welcoming, and had great customer service and recommendations. Their lunch menu had so many wonderful options and the quality was outstanding! Their $20 Burger and Brew special was amazing…a thick burger, cooked to perfection and a choice of several beers. They also feature the best Pineapple Dole Whip, this side of Hawaii. Can’t say enough about this place! We will be back! And hope to do a stay cation here soon!",

"traverse:reviewText": "When looking for a place to stay in San Diego we had stayed near Shelter Island in the past but not on Shelter Island. This hotel had good reviews and the prices were OK and we liked this location. One problem is there are so many types of rooms when looking online and it is unclear on really what view you are going to get. Once there I understood the issue - this place is cobbled together from what must have been two or three different hotels over the years. Some rooms face the parking lot and I can see those being called rooms with a "view" since you might be able to see downtown. There are also rooms that face inner walkways and even a loading dock... So beware when booking. Anyway we opted for a marina view room which was in the main building but with a first floor obstructed view of the marina. It was good enough. The room was a good size with a frig, microwave and coffee maker. The bathroom was large and with the best water pressure of our entire trip in the west. Impressive for California. There are two pools but we used neither. They also have pickleball courts - we didn't use those either. Unlike most Best Westerns breakfast is not included. If you want to save the $25/day parking fee you can park across the street in the beach parking lot. There are no restrictions and the lot is as close as most hotel parking lots. You can unload your luggage and then zip across the street. Easy. Overall a nice place to stay if you can figure out the room selection!",

When I arrrived I was given little slips of paper to take to breakfast which only allowed one item and to a maximum of $17 per person, which when you look at the menu is one item. You have to pay for everything else so I'm expecting a bill of $60-$100+ by the time I leave as they are adding surcharges, tax and tips on top. So breakfast is not included and I've raised with my travel agent as I've never had this happen in previous Best Western hotels.",

"traverse:reviewText": "Stayed here as a family of four over spring break. Beautiful and safe location. We drove down about 45 min from Legoland. However, it is very close to the airport, Old Town and Balboa Park (~ 15 min). Has frequent views of military aircraft and helicopters. This was a plus to us. There is a waterfront path frequented by walkers and joggers. There are at least four restaurants on the strand including the famous music venue Humphreys. We didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant on-site but it looked nice. We didn’t want to pay the $20/person breakfast. There were two pools that were both kid friendly and nicely heated. Our room was an extra spacious double Queen with a kitchen. We were very pleased with that upgrade. The fitness room was nicely equipped and clean. Only negative during our stay was there was a boiler repair occurring in our building that resulted in no hot water for several hours. After some negotiations we were able to be adequately accommodated. Overall, this was a minor inconvenience in what was a very beautiful and memorable vacation.",

Looks like he is doing the work of 3 supervisors. He is one of the main reasons we go to Island Palms. Clint and Ben were also stand out employees who did everything they could to help. This trip had its hiccups and issues, but I know the front desk staff did their best. The view is always so amazing. Love the spa and fireplace. Thank you as always for having the best hotel in the area. The internet in room 420 needs some help as it would go on and off throughout the day as well as be at 1 maybe 2 bars. All the while, other rooms seem like they have been upgraded. Definitely something to look into right away. The lighting could use a little help, just needs to be more and a bit brighter and wider range. Any of my other major feedback has been left on the survey.",

Cons: Room smells musty but that may be somewhat unavoidable given the surrounding water. Walls are SO paper thin… you can hear every normal conversation (and other goings on) next door. Hotel had an issue with their key system and we had to call twice to get new keys. There is minimal housekeeping during the stay (no change of sheets, making beds or cleaning during stay) - still housekeeping was not on point. Even leaving a tip, simple minimal requests (more coffee pods, towels) weren’t consistently fulfilled. The jacuzzi felt like it needed a good cleaning. We had to ask for pool towels as there were none out. Having said all of that: while the price we paid for the stay wasn’t super cheap, it was absolutely less than many other area hotel rooms - so just be aware you may have to bend a bit on your expectations. We knew we would mostly be out and about, so for us it was a fair compromise to pay less for a room and do more in the area.",

Our room looked out on the water and the other walkway on the other side of the buildings had a view of an endless marina full of white yachts! There was a TV on a wall by the pool so I watched sports while exercising...a first. On Thursday summer nights they have a very fun Aloha / hula dance along by the pool and they are adding more summer pool activities. The meal I ordered from the restaurant was very tasty. The laundry room/machines were clean and in good operating condition. My stay at the Island Palms felt like a resort vacation even though the purpose of this triop was not vacation. Well done! If you are looking for a place to stay, book this hotel!",

At check in, I was asked if I wanted 1 or 2 beds. I said it didn't matter than jokingly said whichever gives me the better room. The gentleman said since I asked, he had a junior suite available that he thought I would like. Like? It was the size of a small apartment! Clean and roomy with a wonderful patio.

You get a view of the bay out front and marina in back. It was central to lots of good eateries. Although they do have a restaurant on site. We didn't get to try it unfortunately. There is coffee in the lobby. But you have to get there early and make line. It offers a selection of cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate, and regular coffee. The pool is nice and offers plenty of lounge spots. Loved the poolside cocktail service. The lobby is fun with its modern Tiki theme. There is a gym, but it is small and I didn't want to workout that close to others. That's just me. There were plenty of folks there by 9am. We opted to go on a walk along the nice bay walk. There is plenty of parking, tennis courts, and it was a quiet place to stay. There is a funky smell in the hallways. Not sure if the carpet needs to be pulled up and lay tile down.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Adelina M.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=H3PWSu6yYA76X4Ize0bDtQ) UPDATED: After leaving my review I was quickly contacted directly by the resorts General Manager. He sincerely apologized and said he would investigate further. They were not able to find my bed pad but credited our card the cost of the pad and a little extra. I thanked them and felt that I should update my review and added 3 more stars. I would like to also mention that the room was very spacious for our family of 4. My crawling infant and busy toddler could get their wiggles out and we could relax with more than enough room. We especially liked the full kitchen! Also, the flowers they planted along the marina side smelled AMAZING! So nice to sit on our balcony, enjoying views of both the marina and bay and smell the sea and flowers. Because of the genuine effort and apology made, my family and I would stay at the resort again. Thank you. My family and I spent a week in a suite in June. We requested turndown service the day before we checked out (a previous couple beach days left the room and linens wet and in a layer of sand), we needed a good nights sleep for an extremely early drive home. Upon returning to the room that evening we noticed that the waterproof hospital bed pad we use under my toddler at night was no longer folded up on the dresser. We believed the cleaning person mistook it for a dirty linen and took it. This begins my main reason for leaving a review about their horrible customer service. I called the front desk that evening only to be told that the custodial manager would need to be called the next day. We left at 4:30 am the next day and I planned on calling on the road. Well traveling with two children under 3, I didn't end up calling until the following day, only to be told I would have to call back when the manager was in. For two weeks, a total of 8 phone calls, one email sent to the custodial manager, and one verbal promise that a manager would call me back; I have still had absolutely no response! I am beyond frustrated. And now since I was basically brushed off since the resort already had their money, I am compelled to also include that the facility and our room was extremely outdated. The carpet, furniture, shutters, etc were extremely worn out (broken pieces, torn upholstery, oily). The fan in the bathroom was so loud, it was hard to hear someone talking right next to you and it was connected to the light switch so it came on anytime you turned on the bathroom light. When my infant was sleeping, we just used the bathroom in the dark. Oh and it seems as if the custodial crew is obviously not being managed correctly because we had actually requested turn down service early one morning a couple days into our vacation and when when we returned to the room after spending the entire day out, they had never came. I would like to be fair on at least two positive points just because I rarely want to leave a review that is entirely bad. The location is nice. We watched the boats in the bay and there is a wonderful linear park with playground for kids. But it is not connected to the resort you don't have to stay at this resort to enjoy those. I will definitely not be returning to this resort the next time we vacation in San Diego     My family and I spent a week in a suite in June. We requested turndown service the day before we checked out (a previous couple beach days left the room and linens wet and in a layer of sand), we needed a good nights sleep for an extremely early drive home. Upon returning to the room that evening we noticed that the waterproof hospital bed pad we use under my toddler at night was no longer folded up on the dresser. We believed the cleaning person mistook it for a dirty linen and took it. This begins my main reason for leaving a review about their horrible customer service. I called the front desk that evening only to be told that the custodial manager would need to be called the next day. We left at 4:30 am the next day and I planned on calling on the road. Well traveling with two children under 3, I didn't end up calling until the following day, only to be told I would have to call back when the manager was in. For two weeks, a total of 8 phone calls, one email sent to the custodial manager, and one verbal promise that a manager would call me back; I have still had absolutely no response! I am beyond frustrated. And now since I was basically brushed off since the resort already had their money, I am compelled to also include that the facility and our room was extremely outdated. The carpet, furniture, shutters, etc were extremely worn out (broken pieces, torn upholstery, oily). The fan in the bathroom was so loud, it was hard to hear someone talking right next to you and it was connected to the light switch so it came on anytime you turned on the bathroom light.

Pools were great, food was good, hotel was spotless, room was clean and nice. The staff takes care of its patrons. We had a small issue with housecleaning and the hotel immediately resolved the issue above and beyond what I was expecting. The management came to our door to check on our stay. The front desk staff excellent. The restaurant became very busy and was understaffed, however they never stopped smiling.

I decided on the BW Island Palms as it is flanked by the Marina on the back side and the San Diego Harbor on the front, and since my passion is fishing, this place was heaven. As I was checking in, I was hoping to get the new section, as the many reviews on-line talked down about the old section. When I was given a two queen bed room in the new section, I was stoked. The room faced the marina and was on the first floor. The patio opened to the walkway along the marina, and if you are a people watcher, this was the location. The room was spacious with the two queen beds, the desk, large flat screen TV on a cabinet with a small refrigerator. The building was next to the covered parking which also held the two tennis courts. There is a restaurant and bar, called the 'Blue Wave'. The restaurant and bar are not big, but plenty of room when I was there. There are two outdoor pool areas with Jacuzzis with plenty of chairs and towels available. The walkway along the marina was great to stroll in the evening with a drink passing along the two other hotels. Across the street was another walkway along the bay, as you can watch people having picnics, bonfires, onlookers, fisherman's on the pier and the awesome San Diego skyline. I will stay here again because they have 'Free' WiFi, and that's a plus for me.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=8NEMSDyGCC9kEv70Ytgvmg)",

We picked the hotel because of the view and we're glad we had it basically in our backyard. There was a $10 parking fee but it was waived for my dads birthday. Also very very nice staff!

The hotel's location is pretty close to all that SD has to offer. We spent the day at Sea World and so our drive there was nothing. The hotel is older, but clean and well maintained. It's not posh by any means...but you are not paying for posh either. We didn't check in until 11-ish pm on a Wednesday night. We were placed in room 135. Avoid this room; it's opposite the delivery area. We were awaken at o'dark thirty to the sounds of delivery trucks and pure noise! Needless to say, we asked to move. The front desk accommodated our request. The restaurant within the hotel is pretty decent too. Free Wi-Fi is another bonus! We accidentally left our camera charger plugged into an outlet. We called the hotel and they are going to send it to us at no charge! How is that for customer service?! I'll definitely stay here again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7AzDzOK_aKVQrwYCk1hGcA)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Calm L.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=cWqm6xASaro_ruAJVuTquw) Is This Best Customer Service Story of My Life? We damaged the front bumper of our car (at a different location). Returning to our hotel room, I called the hotel front desk and asked if we could get some duct tape to temporarily repair the bumper. We didn't want to drive home, 8 hours, with half of the bumper whipping in the wind, and maybe ripping off. The front desk gal said, "Of course. I think I can get a repairman to stop by right now." Five minutes later, I met up with SIMON, and he did have duct tape. But upon looking at the partially torn off fender, he got out some screws and his electric drill, and put in 3 or four 4 self-tapping screws, hidden in the wheel well, re-attaching, permanently, the fender to the car. A perfect fix as opposed to $500 body shop fix. I want you to appreciate what he did. I've spent countless hours on the phone getting computer software support. But it's their software. That's their job. Simon is a hotel repairman, with no responsibility whatsoever for guests' cars. Yet, he spent 20 minutes, using his repairman problem-solving skills to repair my fender, making it fully roadworthy. He was not worried or concerned that this was outside of his area of responsibility, or his professional skill set. He wasn't worried about a lawsuit if things went wrong. And he wasn't worried about his boss chewing him out for doing something outside of the hotel's role. A stay at a hotel can be deeply harmed by one small bad customer service experience. The opposite is true also. This experience with Simon was deeply appreciated by both me and my wife. An unexpected, awkward problem on our vacation solved in 20 minutes. This made our stay at this hotel special. I could also tell similar, though less dramatic stories, about waitresses at the hotel restaurant, Justine and Stacey, who were sensitive to my wife's many food allergies. And Maria, the restaurant, hostess, who sort of has became friends with my wife. Or I could mention Eugene, who returned my $35 cap. Which any waiter, anywhere should do, but it needs to be acknowledged. So, a deep thank you to Simon, and the other employees. Thank you to the ownership and management that has empowered and given permission to workers like Simon to provide really great customer service. And yes, this was the best customer service experience of my life.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=0ItS0wbnFux095x81571og)",

Rooms are clean, spacious and well priced. Grounds are spotless. Love the Point Loma location but beware that it's across the bay from downtown (a definite plus in my book but not for everyone). We prefer the marina view to the bay view although the bay view is much improved now that motor homes are no longer allowed to overnight on the street in front of the hotel. Excellent and incredibly friendly staff. Bill Orman, the General Manager, has gone out of his way on more than one occasion for me and my husband - first class customer service.

Our room was spacious with privacy doors and we had a roomy little kitchen with a bar eating area. We had a very comfortable king bed and a very spacious bathroom with lovely walk in shower and a double sink. Across the front parking lot is a terrace strand walkway up and down the shore.

I live in San Diego and have paid for many guests rooms in the past in this hotel. My husband and I have stayed in this hotel as well but a few sago. Now for the negative, this is why I did not give 5 stars as in the past. The housekeeping was terrible. Dirty rag left in the room. Empty wine glasses not taken away. All Trash not picked up. When my out of town guests called to complain, they were mocked. Their first trip to America from South Africa. Very gracious people. I met the maid leaving the room. She was from Congo and could not speak a word of English. She acted like like I was from mars when I handed her a tip. Where are these employees coming from ??? I was not impressed with the hostess or whoever she was when I asked for wine and 2 glasses and ice to take down to our room. She acted like I was doing her a favor. Never mind the was $50.00. Maybe the hotel needs to hire younger friendlier staff.

We stayed in the Casa Del Mar part of the hotel which is soo much better than the other side of the hotel. Pros: room was clean, the furniture was updated and in style, the room had a view of the marina, a patio, we had a kitchen, closet, large tv, clean bathroom, there was a paved path along the marina, 2 pools, restaurant/bar on site breakfast was good, employees were nice, they had fruit plate and a bottle of wine in the room along with a birthday card for me (I told them it was my birthday and they clearly stated that requests are not guaranteed), windows opened and had shutters, the hotel Is right across the street from a small fishing pier (we went for a walk/run one morning. I was a great view), they had a hairdryer and iron/board in room, refrigerator, cooking pans plates cutlery and glasses, free bike rentals. Cons: I was overcharged on the bill and had to report it in order to get it adjusted, I paid the breakfast rate where my confirmation email clearly stated "all adults receive meal vouchers each day of stay" but when I went to the front desk I was told "there is only 2 allowed per room", the parking is free but I had to park in the detached parking structure (But if do not find parking you have to park across the street, and if you have more than one car you have to pay to park the additional car.), the internet is free but slow and you have to ask for the code at the front desk, a/c in the room but the thermostat is in the wall you cant control it on the machine (which is not the problem, I just didn't find the thermostat until the second day of our stay, and we spend our first night in the humid room.), the ice machine was far from our room. the hotel was also 5-15 mins from gaslamp, tidepools, old town. loved this about the hotel!

Soooo relaxing, so clean and the nicest most helpful employees. I \*think\* it was Daniel that checked Is in. We had come in on a very early flight and they were kind enough to let us check in an hour early so we could rest. We stayed for four days in a very large suite overlooking the marina and it was gorgeous every single day. Huge balcony to sit on and enjoy a drink. Everything in the room was immaculate, great sheets, towels and the water pressure was good. We ate at the in house restaurant, "Blue Wave" twice during our stay, both times having the fish tacos, they were amazing, as was the beer that Ryan suggested to go with them. Justina was a super friendly waitress our second visit too. Beautiful spot to have a meal and drinks, right on the water. I can't think of anything to improve, other than maybe the rather expensive parking on site. Decline the parking pass and simply park across the street for free. It saves you $18.00 a night. We will most definitely come back. It was a lovely, relaxing stay which was exactly what we had needed. Thanks to all!        - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7JRfhqAFaSP4Ix7jCQBsIw)",

We were in the newest building and the decor was beautiful. The beds were fantastic...not only the linens but also they were adjustable in firmness like a Select Comfort but better! The room and bath (we had double queens) were really large and the flat-screen TV great. Best was the view, the quiet AND the salt-water swimming pool and spa. I've stayed in a lot of Best Westerns and this is the best of them all, so far. If you stay there be sure to eat at Pomodoro's, a little italian place right around the corner in a tiny house. Great food and ambience for really good prices. House chianti is excellent.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=SCJ3d1GEH-Ib7z45DV0p1A)",

This is an incredibly friendly staff and they offer some really great customer service. Kudos and high fives to you. Now, with that said, this was my and my husband's first trip to San Diego and we decided to come out for my birthday. We shopped around online and thought this hotel offered the best stuff for the price. Well, not so much. First, we paid for a marina view, when it turns out our room was kind of tucked away and we ended up with an obstructed marina view. Definitely not worth the upgrade price there. Then, there were no lights in the shower. So it sort of felt like we were showering in a cave. Next, our room was definitely in the older part of the complex and, while there were a few upgrades, the overall look was old and dingy. And not old in a "quaint"-like way. Plus, there WAS a smell to the place but it mostly just smelled like ocean/sea water/fish, which I mean, we're on the marina so I don't know how I could complain about that. But, from looking at the place online and then experiencing it in person, we were definitely disappointed. As mentioned, the staff is great, though, and I hate to be so negative considering how great these guys are. Plus, it is pretty close to a ton of things so location is great. Bottom line, though, it's definitely lacking.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=IPFqLKJnv8FRQw7xuxbYzQ)",

For short stays, we usually book with Best Western. Especially if we spend a few hours at the hotel. This property was a pleasant surprise. Our room had a fantastic view of the marina. The bed was comfortable, as usual, and the checkin process was relatively easy. The shower head made a screaming noise when the water was turned on, but we didn't complain. We were literally there for a number of hours. However, I would definitely stay here again.

We are local residents so we thought we had pretty decent knowledge of where the fine hotels are and where the roach motels are. I made same-day reservations for under $110 a night. We went to check in before going to dinner and the staff was very freindly and professional. We were given a room on the 1st floor with a view of the bay that was obstructed by the parking lot which was literaly 2 steps outside of our door. We entered the room and it was nicely decorated and modern. But no sooner had we put our bags down then we noticed this strange odor in the room. My wife thought it was cigarette smoke. I thought it was a damp, moldy, dirty carpet smell. Whatever it was I knew we would not be able to tolerate that smell all night. I went back to the lobby and asked the concierge to give us a different room; one without a smell and preferrably upstairs. He said the only thing available was a double-bed room on the 2nd story of their new building. The room cost more but he gave us a free upgrade since it was not our fault the room stunk. When we arrived to our new room we were much more pleased. It was clean, no smell, and had a pleasant view of the marina from the balcony. It had a nice big 42inch HDTV and a very nice bathroom. Everything was near-perfect until we laid in the beds. The beds were rock-hard. My wife did some investigating and found out that the beds were actually air-mattresses that you have to adjust the softness. Well we both tried different settings to get the right feel but it didint make a difference. I tossed and turned all night because i kept feeling like i was sleeping on cardboard. Both me and my wife woke up rubbing our lower backs in the morning vowing never again. Sorry but as great as the staff is and despite the cool location i cant recommend this hotel to anyone who expects a clean room and a goodnight's sleep.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Q9ZBnZZunUpzcqgZEUjzkw)",

The staff is very kind, bright and go the extra mile to provide great service and overall welcomeness. The location is also a plus. Just about 15min away (with traffic) from downtown and sits right in the marina with beautiful views. Negative: This was my go to hotel for years, all the way up to 2012 before I moved to NorCal. Stayed here for the first time, since then, this past Labor Day weekend and it hasn't changed (not a good thing). The place is run down and dirty. The AC units have not been cleaned or swapped out for newer units causing mildewy smells throughout the room. Paint chipping, cracked walls and flat out old looking. Also, I hope, the hotel is holding smokers accountable for smoking in rooms because that is a constant throughout the hallways and property in general (all types of smoking). Overall: I know people will look at this and be like, " it's a Best Western, it's just a place to sleep, not luxury". This I understand but if you are paying luxury prices, wouldn't it be nice to have a better stay? I think so. I hope best western invests more into this property because when it was great, it was great. Now, not so much.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=QaHRWuKEJfzvai7N-ucQzQ)",

Unfortunately, the newest trend in the hotel industry (day passes...you know them by their wristbands) have undermined this resort's charm and relaxing vibe. At least we can understanding what happened to the pool towel service that is no longer offered (it's either bring your own clean white bath towels from the room, or be prepared to make a long schlep to the office for...per a call to the front desk...huh?). This past holiday weekend, hordes of locals descended upon the small intimate pool areas near the back, co-opting every available chaise, lounge chair and table with food coolers and drinks. These families set up by 10:00 am and didn't leave until the pool's closing at 11:00 pm. Talk about huge turnoff to overnight guests, who pay a premium to be unable to use the resort's amenities, or relax in their own rooms (during the day) without the windows closed and AC turned on to drown out the noise/commotion. While the day pass trend may be a thing within the hotel industry, too often these type of guests overwhelm and drive overnight guests away. For loyal premium Best Western members (who make it an effort to fly across the country specifically to enjoy the Island Palms oasis-like setting), having to deal with raucous pool crowds and then walk past teens sprawled out and asleep in wet suits on the inside furniture in the small lobby, was a huge fail. Do better BW/Bartels for your loyal overnight guests who will go anywhere else (and spend hundreds elsewhere) to avoid these type of situations in the future (and be sure to inform others of same). Best Western Island Palms used to be a favorite resort, no longer can that be said (updated bathrooms or not).     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=UsCQ5dfJny2wjgN-nGzWPw)",

So we did a little research and this was on the short list so we went there and did a little tour and spoke with the front desk, etc. and decided we'd give it a whirl. We made the right choice! We've just returned from a week at the BW Island Palms and we couldn't have been happier. I think all hotel beds are wonderful but BW seems to have the very best! The problem with this is I want to just keep lounging in bed and not get out and do all the things I want to do! Besides the bed, the room was very comfortable and we enjoyed a Marina View. The hotel has two pools, tennis courts, there are marinas right off the back and the Shelter Island Park in the front. The Blue Wave is a very comfortable bar and restaurant. We bent our elbows at the bar a couple of times and enjoyed a wonderful meal that we carried out so we could eat on our personal balcony with our view. The front desk staff was extremely pleasant as were all the employees we encountered. We've decided to go for a bay view on our next visit and there will be a next visit in the not-too-distant future!  This was a panorama shot of the room but yelp has only included the center part.

The service from the bartender to the front desk clerks and so on was awesome! Very friendly and welcoming. The pool areas are great especially the smaller one where it is a little more quiet and looking over the marina. Also the food at the bar was yummy! Only down side was that the hallways kinda smelt but our room didn't at all and the wifi isn't the greatest. Rather than that we had a great experience and will come back!        - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=CRGlf0MrwtR2h9GW7prbtw)",

The wedding ceremony was held in one the little patio areas between some of the motel rooms. Unusual, but uniquely cool. The reception then moved inside (downstairs). Food was very good. The only issue was that the room was very hot. It never got below about 77, which feels like 85 when you are dancing. They need to increase the HVAC capacity. The outside air was pretty warm though, so not sure how it would on a cooler day. But still . . . Being that warm at 11 o'clock at night is pretty hot for a reception.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=JF9bMoeLGukorXdhD7crwg)",

Oh my! It was so roomy! And, we had a nice patio with beautiful landscaping. It was surprisingly quiet. We only heard the nearby jets a couple of times. Beautiful hotel and beautiful location.

The Suite had a great layout, with all the necessities and supplies. We had room service breakfasts twice and they were great and at a reasonable price. There is also a small deck to dine on or just enjoy the view. There was a very comfortable King bed and also a pullout couch for another couple, if need be. We also enjoyed spending time at the Blue Wave Bar and Restaurant. Good food, service and crowd. We were just thrilled with our choice of this hotel and will certainly be returning soon to relax and enjoy the many sites in the area. Thanks again for a wonderful stay. We highly recommend this hotel tor anyone who is reading this review.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=4rXThbsCudm5QUoERbA8pw)",

Wish we hadn't! First room they gave us was very small, the patio plants were covered in powdery mildew and had bugs flying around everywhere. They moved us across the hall to an even smaller room. Only a desk chair, no second chair to sit on. One trash can in the bathroom. Only one bath towel in the room. The hair dryer cord is only 2 feet and barely males it past the bathroom counter. The room is so small two people can barely move around in it at the same time. Definitely won't stay here again. Was told my a local they have nice rooms, just didn't give us one. Definitely not worth the $200+ a night we spent!  The absolute smallest room on the property. Not worth $200 a night!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7V-UcQ6kTFaYgE51-T5esw)",

I've stayed here many times since it is convenient to my needs in the Shelter Island area. This time I stated in an older building suite. The room had been updated but you could still tell that the building was old and warn. Still reminds you of a warn down "cheap" hotel. The staff at the hotel is excellent. Friendly and accommodating. I only had one real complaint with the room, and that was that the a/c unit is not nearly sufficient in size or ability to cool such a large space. It was unusually cool and the thing still couldn't keep the room cool during the day. I received a response from mgt regarding this issue and apparently they are working on correcting the issue by adding another unit or installing a larger one. One must ask, "What took so long?" I'm sure all Summer this room is a "hotbox" and others must have complained. The landscaping on the grounds is very nice and the groundskeepers should be proud. It really makes the property look nice. The cleanliness overall is only average as I frequently saw trash on the ground as well as towels and such. It's apparent that the pricing of the hotel varies based on the rates charged by it's competitors in the area. Usually, I'd rate the hotel as expensive for what they provide, but there are "specials" offered when the price is more reasonable. The housekeeping staff did a better than average job in the rooms and overall I can recommend the hotel. Another minor drawback is the condition of the main pool area. I used the pool a couple of days in the later afternoon/evening and each time there was lots of trash, empty beer cans and towels all over the pool area. Also, only a couple of the jets in the jacuzzi work! Again, I can recommend the place as I will most likely stay there again in the future. Simply put, it's not the best place in the area but it is far from the worst!!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=6gcn6D9zRjRoVRpXA4Uayw)",

Hi Felicia, thank you so much for staying with us and sharing your experience. I'm truly sorry that you had to deal with a bug in your room and it's awful that this problem repeated itself after we found a new, upgraded room for you. This is not at all our typical guest experience and I wish you'd been able to enjoy a relaxing, clean and comfortable visit like most all of our guests do. I hope you'll reconsider giving us another chance in the future. We'd love to have the opportunity to make things up to you when you return. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=E1-iiMA8vFpTMcU4m0St6A)",

Ten of us meet in San Diego every October for a family member's birthday and we had a great time this year. One of the reasons we stayed here was because it was non-smoking, however our neighbors were smokers and sat directly outside our door and smoked every day so of course, it came in our room. Unfortunately, a group with small children was above us so peace & sleep in our room was not to be had. Even worse, our smoke detector began alarming at 1am due to low battery. It took an hour+ for them to send security personnel to remove it. The next day maintenance staff replaced it. Given how wonderful staff had been, it was surprising to me that no apologies or discounts were offered. Friendly staff & great view but we'll be staying elsewhere next year.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=bUg9WJV6xfFTCP6Ukf6atg)",

Having the kitchenette was convenient, but the appliances were older. The bedroom was very clean, but too small for 2 queen beds. And there were no electric plugs for all of our phone chargers. The bathroom was clean as well and looked to be remodeled. My only gripe was there was no light in the shower and it was very dark while showering. The room was furnished with one window A/C, not centralized...boo! All in all, the room was sufficient for our one-night stay. Having made my reservation through the Best Western corporate office, I got the room for $100 less than originally quoted. Personally I don't think the room was worth the full price. The hotel is OK for a no-frills, short stay in San Diego.

We normally stay in Downtown San Diego and discovered this property on Shelter Island and decided to give it a try. Best decision! Shelter Island is a beautifully tucked away location and this property sits right in the marina with beautiful views throughout. Although the property seems a bit older than newer properties in downtown, its well kept and you can't beat the location and views for the price. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating which was nice. Upon checking in, they surprised us with an upgraded room which was super spacious and had 2 bedrooms, a full kitchen and living room...the kids loved it. It was also convienently located right outside tbe pool which was nice too. We look forward to our next visit very soon.

Our wing had its own private pool and hot tub. We were the only one using it. The restaurant here has awesome waitresses and made us feel special. We had a good dinner and a couple of breakfasts overlooking the harbor. One disappointment was the coconut shrimp, seemed like the shrimp was ground up and shaped, not like a whole regular shrimp. The rooms are old but kept up well. The chair in our room definitely needs replacing as it is soiled and uncomfortable. Bedding was awesome. Parking was convenient to our room.

From the moment I called to ask about early check-in, every single person I encountered went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. My husband and I travel often and stay at many hotels, but this was truly the best experience we've ever had. I especially want to thank Clinton, who took extra measures to ensure everything was perfect for us. He even came outside to personally help me with the bike rental app -- who does that anymore? His kindness and professionalism set the tone for our entire stay. The front desk staff, especially Alex, was exceptional as well-- so welcoming and attentive. And at the Blue Wave bar and grill Restaurant, Eugene and Z provided such friendly and thoughtful service that every meal felt special. Plus, the food was incredible! I can't say enough about how valued I felt as a guest. It truly seemed as though I was their most important customer -- though I'm sure everyone is treated with the same care and warmth.

I saw them for the first time when I was in the bathroom about to take a shower, and I was super grossed out. I complained at the front desk and they were not surprised at all, but they apologized and said they'd send someone to take care of it. The next day, MORE roaches! I noticed they were coming out of the wall surrounding the shower. I complained again, and this time they moved us to a room in the "Casa Marina" building. The room in the "Casa Marina" was a VAST improvement (no roaches), but by that time our vacation was coming to an end, and I had hardly slept, worried about the little roaches. Since most of the reviews I read were overwhelmingly positive, I thought I'd warn you. The rooms in the other buildings at this hotel are nice, and the location is great, but stay away from the rooms in the main building (where the reception desk is located). I visited in late September 2012.      Thank you for sharing this experience with us and I'm very sorry to hear that this affected your stay with us.

I adored Shelter Island, lots of restaurants and the view of San Diego and the marina is lovely. Upon arriving to the hotel the exterior looked nicer online, check in was fast and friendly Dislike that we had to pay $10 to park and we had to haul all our luggage and kids in tow up the stairs, no elevators to be found. Once we entered the suite our view was the parking lot and a bit of the Marina, I requested to be in another room with an actual full view of just the marina not the parking lot for almost $300 a night I wasn't happy but Brenda at the front desk was very helpful in finding us a new room with a full view. The new suite was spacious and super clean with Vaulted ceilings and a mini patio and full size kitchen. The pool was huge and sparkling clean and I enjoyed the spa as well. Room service rocked, You can request the time for your breakfast to be delivered and circle what you want when you awake as long as it's hung on your door before 2am, It arrived promptly and it was hot and delicious. I was hoping the suite had a DVR to watch movies and a faster check out such as via the TV as offered in other hotels. Would I return? I did enjoy the room and their customer service is A+ but almost $300 a night is pretty hard to swallow.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Tim W.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=-AaBjWJYiQxXkCMDlXfPGw) I was contacted by the Director of Guest Services after filling out a survey about my experience at this hotel. He informed me that the a/c was indeed not working and had to be repaired. After investigating the hot bathroom floor, they also determined that there was a pipe leak in the area that was causing the problem. They had to dig up the floor to repair the issue which would correct the hot flooring and sauna-like room. I was very pleased to find out we weren't going crazy!! Now we know why the room felt like a sauna and why we thought the room had heated floors! He did the right thing and took care of us by giving us a credit for our stay. I would try this hotel again. The place was nice and has great architecture which is part of the reason we ended up here in the first place. Definitely spend a little more and get a "Marina View" room. The rooms are right on the water and have great views of hundreds of sailboats!     This hotel has two sides....... the "good" side along the Marina and the "bad" side along the parking lot!! I'm sure we had one of the worst rooms on the property! We stayed here last weekend while visiting San Diego for a Halloween party. I tried to upgrade to a 'view' room but was told they were sold out. First off the hotel is pretty nice.. especially if you have a room on the 'good' side with a view of the marina. The grounds are nice and clean except the entryway to the front lobby which happens to be the smoking section with a large ashtray. Numerous people stand right outside the front doors smoking so you get to walk by that every time you go in and out the front door of the hotel. Our room faced the parking lot. Cars parked directly outside the front door and windows. The best thing about the room was the very large flat screen TV. Also there were 6 pillows on the bed and all were clean and fresh (no stains). That's about it for the good things. The room was so warm when we walked in. We immediately turned on the a/c unit hoping it would cool down quickly since it wasn't warm at all outside. The room was pretty clean except for a large clump of about 15 LONG black hairs on the bathroom floor. I assumed they had been stuck to the mop or whatever they cleaned the tile floor with. It was gross but I just picked it up with a kleenix and threw it away. I later found one more long black hair on the top sheet of the bed... gross. We got ready and left for our party... it was miserable because the room was so warm. We hoped it would be cool when we returned later that night. We got back at 1am and the room was still warm. It was only 65\* outside so we couldn't figure out why the room was warm. The a/c was obviously not working. It felt like there was a heater on in the room even though we couldn't find anything. The floor in the bathroom was very warm so it must of been heated even though there was no mention of this in the room or a switch to turn it off. We even opened the windows and left the door open to try and get the cold air from outside in the room...... but it didn't help. The bathroom has no air flow at all. It felt like a sauna in there the entire time. The shower is dark (no lights) and very claustrophobic, especially if you are 6' tall. We had a horrible nights sleep because the room never cooled down. Luckily it was only a one night stay. If not, we definitely would have switched rooms. We packed up as soon as morning came (still like a sauna in the room). When checking out the girl at the counter NEVER asked how our room was or how our stay was. I told her the a/c was not working and the room was like a sauna. She only said "OK, I will have someone check it". This was one of the worst hotel stays I have ever had. So uncomfortable! Even though the rest of the hotel seems nice and the location is great, I probably would not go back. I would try another hotel......... there are so many to choose from in the area! - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=1Tm96GtQUEo80bNawyPcyA)",

Boat dock is in walking distance, and very nice private area that is not on any main roads. Parking is free, and I got a good deal off hotels.com for a couple of days. Suite was a free upgrade, so it was extremely comfortable with the inclusion of a couch, two large screen TV's, refrigerator and stovetop.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Brittany A.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=i4P5n_c58VwuGE_iD17y7w) I just returned from this hotel this morning and the hotel was amazing. The view of the marina was fantastic and even though the room was right next to the marina, we didn't hear any noise from it. The only noise that I really noticed was a jet taking off because you are across a bay from the naval base but that only happened once. The bed and the pillows are fantastic and I got the most restful sleep I've had in months there. Room was a tad small but we didn't spend much time in the room so I didn't mind. The bathroom is upgraded and I love the shower with the glass doors. So much better than a shower curtain sticking to the side of my leg. There is a good TV and the AC works very well. The ceiling was an awesome. It was white wood with beams and the room we had didn't have a room above it so we got vaulted ceilings. Cons: It's not convenient to anything in San Diego other than the marina. There are a few restaurants in the area but I found myself driving (and getting lost) for everything. I would've liked to be able to walk around the area to shops and restaurants but I wasn't able to. It is easy to get to Rosecrans St from the hotel though and I learned that Rosecrans and Nimitz (also easy to get to) are the streets I need to get around that part of San Diego, to Sea World, and Old Town. The restaurant is over priced for average food. The fish tacos weren't very good. I feel like I just got a mouthful of the breading and no fish. The breakfast was better but I paid $12 for the same thing I could get at Denny's for $4. The lot is narrow and while parking was good for the first night, it was hard to find a spot on the last two nights so I ended up parking on the other side of the hotel from my room. The hotel places a pre-authorization hold on your card for the entire stay PLUS $50 PER NIGHT. This added up to about $400 that I wasn't expecting and I didn't have enough on a single card to cover that so the system wouldn't accept my card. The desk clerk offered to redeem my $200 travel card BEFORE running my card and that took the $200 off of my bill and off of the pre-authorization they put on my card so I was able to cover it. Had the desk clerk not done that for me, I wouldn't have been able to check it. I've stayed at many BWs and I know that's not a normal thing to do so I greatly appreciate her doing that for us. Even with the cons though, it's one of the best hotels I've been too and I was extremely pleased with my room. I would definitely be back, but maybe with more/better maps or use a taxi more.

I also did not like the fact that the Lowest you could turn the air conditioner down to was 68 but most people that's cool enough. We did get an upgrade on the room due to the fact because we needed to have a room earlier than normal check-in.

Great place for business conferences, near the airport, surrounded with great venues and good amenities. No need to get a rental, great place to exercise, good restaurant, and excellent for boot camp activities. I am very impressed and happy with their efficient staff and service. Shuttle was on time and driver was helpful and courteous. Front desk quickly checked us in with whatever information entered in the internet. At the seminar, time is of the essence, restaurant personnel fully understood our time constraints and would take our orders and deliver to our conference room. What a service! Venue is right on the marina so during breaks or individual group meetings, we met outside the conference room. It was quiet, fresh, and meditative. Great place to reflect and review lessons-learned. Restaurant food was always hot and fresh. Enjoyed dinners with great wine, superb clam chowder, shrimp bisque, fresh calamari and salmon grilled to perfection! Ceasar salad was great too. Can improve on dessert selection ... but since I really can go without, it was good ... :) This place would have gotten 5 stars if it is somewhat remodeled. Wear and tear of the facility is beginning to show but overall, price is really of excellent value!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Kp0vsV-6hzb_q_7fOOWSIw)",

Seamless check in and our room was great. The hotel is starting to show a good amount of wear and tear. I've been staying here off and on since 2012. Cracks in ceiling. Peeling paint etc. The kicker was I paid extra for breakfast and then I was informed it didn't cover breakfast but a light breakfast. Okay no biggie well we go to eat and there are no light breakfast menus it's just $16 off whatever item you purchase. So I spent an extra $60 for $28 off breakfast. I asked to be comped the amount because we weren't going to eat there. I was frustrated we would be spending more and she informed me she couldn't because it was a "package." But I could have booked the same room for the better price and not having to spend an exorbitant rate for breakfast that we would have to spend extra for.      - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=zQgGiejeiBDrvuysUO194g)",

First the Pro's: The location is nice, the staff is too. Many of the things they promised and set up were correct and went smoothly. The food is VERY GOOD!!! The ease of an all in one location was very nice. There was plenty of parking. The manager, Chris, did everything he could to work out the issues that came up. Now for the Cons: The staff is very unorganized and failed to follow through on instruction. It seemed as if the right hand knew not what it or the left hand was to be doing. I was called away from preparing for the wedding to correct issues for my guests at several different times even after i gave the hotel meticulous written instruction as to every aspect of the wedding reception. The Room: We stayed in a suite in one of the older buildings. The A/C was a window unit add on and was not really sufficient to cool the room, it was also quite loud. Otherwise, the room was very neat, clean and nicely decorated. I would definitely recommend staying in the hotel suites.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=_CtCB-ZDku8rf37pQRtSKw)",

The staff were kind and even let us check in early for free since our room was ready, which was a pleasant surprise. The room was clean and more spacious than I expected for a standard option. I did pay a bit more for a "view," but it was just of docked boats, which honestly wasn't worth it. The walls are thin, so you can hear neighbors and outside noise, and we were woken up the next morning by lawn work, which was disappointing.

Check in is at 4. They were still working on our room so no problem at all and front desk said they would call once it's ready. Got a call around 3:45 informing room is ready. She provided us a map to show us where the building is for our room. We had to walk two buildings down to the casa Del Mar building, which has a nice fountain in front, for our room. We booked the UCSD (university of California San Diego) partnership rate when booking rooms as I am alumna and she stated it came with welcome beverages and breakfast coupons to redeem at their restaurant. Breakfast is opened pretty late to about 11am and I enjoyed the food. Each server has their own definition of what the coupon entails so I was limited on what I could order each day so the inconsistency is a bit frustrating. One server stated the coupon is worth $9.45 and can choose from the breakfast value section and any order comes with juice or coffee, any order from the breakfast specialties and you'd just pay the difference which would be like under $5. Another server told me only certain specific breakfast choices come with juice or coffee so I ordered water or I would be charged extra. Wish I could take breakfast to-go! Our suite was very nice and clean. Living area has its own tv, air conditioning unit, mini fridge, microwave and own bathroom/shower. Bedroom and living space can be privatized/separated by closing the door. Bedroom has own tv and air conditioning and bathroom/shower and a patio door and balcony. Ceiling fan in each living space. Quiet hotel and no loud noises from our room placement (room 516 for an idea). Only complaint is we wish room service was available later in the night. They close at 9pm when we called Tuesday night. Parking is not free, about $15 a night I believe but there seemed to be plenty of places. We saw some people park for free across the street. We chose to uber everywhere. There was a $260 holding charge and it was taken off when I checked out. Overall a good experience and I would return.

Of over a hundred Best Westerns , this one was the best overall.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=mu8okJHVP_0n_xDwueWjrA)",

There are lots of different rooms. I ended up with a kitchenette option which was nice. Not a bad view in the house. There are tons of balcony chairs to hang out, people watch and look at ocean views. The cleaning service was stellar. Everything replenished, towels and pillows fluffed etc. The hotel is pretty big so from the hotel concierge to my room was a six buildings over but the view was worth it. Plenty of parking, places to walk your dog, and there is play ground across the way. Tons of stores and places to eat. If you DoorDash you can pick up your order at the front desk. The staff is pleasant and there are security guards with golf carts if you need a lift or have a question in between most of the buildings. Definitely recommend!

Two pools, spas, marina side. The Restaurant was great. There was a gym and tennis courts we played tennis. The room was large and very clean. I would recommend getting a marina side room if you want it quieter. We walked to the end and back. There was a small restaurant Bayside right in front of the hotel on the pier named Fathom Bistro. The food was awesome, seating was limited as the place was very popular. We found a table facing the bay which had an awesome sea breeze and view. I'll post a separate review soon.

Not sure they have any here. However, even though we had issues again with room assignment, they were handled well by the staff, and ultimately, we got what we wanted without price gouging. I credit Caitlin from Banquet services for that. Mercedes the security guard was very friendly and helped with our luggage after hours. When we discovered the room was not the one we wanted, A Junior suite versus a grand suite, we talked with Daniel at the front desk and he couldn't help us that night, but left messages. The next day, I talked to Caitlin, and she listened and helped. I ended up in Grand suite 104, which was as nice as 133 last time, but not as close to the pool/restaurant. She didn't charge an up charge, even though the second room was nicer and bigger. The separate living room with fold out couch, full kitchen with full-size refrigerator and pass-through counter made it perfect for hosting several friends to come over, we ended up having eight people in the living room area singing Christmas carols and enjoying each other's company for several hours Saturday evening.

Check out time is noon, not 11, and we can leave our dirty dishes in the sink. We will definitely be back! We stayed here on a Friday night to Saturday morning and got in pretty late on Friday night. We were lucky we had handicapped parking because the lot was packed! We got suite 133 near the pool because it was supposed to be handicap accessible. We were expecting a step in shower, but got a tub enclosure that didn't work for one of us. There were grab bars and lots of room for a wheel chair, but be super specific and check the room before you accept the extra up charge for accessible rooms. I don't think they should charge extra for that. The suite was nice and clean. The pool was great and they did have a maintenance man come give us the battery for the chair lifts. However, we did waste many minutes working out how to make it work before we face up and asked at the desk and found out about the battery. A sign stating check out battery at main desk would have helped a lot. We were lucky to hit the pool early. Around 11am when we were getting out, a big family with lots of loud children showed up. The breakfast at the restaurant was delicious. Great service and view of the marina. 5 stars for the restaurant and staff, 2 stars for the price gouging and hassle with the chair lift. Round to 3 stars. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=k_lB1GzVOaIoxjExIqmMBw)",

The pool & jacuzzi were set among the marina view and the restaurant was exceptional! Service both days in the restaurant and bar were so genuine and so kind! The large suites are perfectly sized for 5 and with upgraded shutters and beautiful views. The kitchen was large as well. Parking was not sufficient but thankfully they refunded the money spent on parking and we parked across the street, which was free and worked just fine. My recommendation would be to add more wall hooks on the ample wall space for hanging towels. Also, they ran out of clean washcloths during our 2 night stay and this shouldn't ever happen. Housekeeping told us to check with the front office and when front office staff sent towels to our room that night they only brought the hand towels and mentioned they were out of the washcloths. We'd stay here again!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=dAfsjYbz5VQtTbfpIcWSvQ)",

Our room was clean and the staff were friendly and accommodating. We used the pool and spa one night. It was kept clean and well-maintained. The area is lovely--there's a really great park across the street. Convenient to get to the airport. Parking was $10, which wasn't advertised up front, so that was why we docked one star.

Even though we used Groupon we were treated very well by the staff. Our room actually looked onto the bay as well as the marina. I would rewuest a bay view if I were to stay again. The reason is ours was an end unit and there was a condiderable amount of nouse in the morning from staff, trucks etc. The only negative was the $10 per night parking charge     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=nD8zt4imiF0kIgZWx0HoFA)",

It's super close to all of the famous attractions in San Diego like the Balboa Park, Old Town, Cabrillo Monument, San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Downtown, Coronado (my favorite), Trader Joe's, and so much more! Staff were very pleasant and helpful!! Housekeeping was on top of their game! Our room was always kept clean being in and out a lot from our trip.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Daniel T.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=EV9Gal7EVRUPqwE6RBO67Q) The staff was kind and helpful. Check-in was a breeze. The view, if you're on the marina side, is quite pleasant: you can see many boats docked and a hill of what I am sure are very expensive residences. The pools are in good shape, the spa next to the larger pool is a little tore up but warm and the jets work. Rooms and beds are nice...older but refurbished, but I liked that, it made it feel both rustic and somewhat upscale. I thought the bed was comfy, the pillows nice and the place was clean. The bathroom was also nice. The heating/cooling unit is just a little wall one and my room got cold so I cranked it up and then it got hot. Central system would be nice but it worked. Weird smell in room reminded me of my grandpa's old trailer park home. Not the most pleasant odor. I also smelled marijuana near the fridge but didn't locate any...that would have made the evening more fun. jk I don't drink, but I sat at the bar and had a water while my friend had a couple of beers. The bartender was not that cool. Overall, this place is good. Definitely worth at least 4 stars. Low key, not terribly expensive and within driving distance of anything you'd want to see in San Diego.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=MM_jBAI66rL-yLgtIqTkLw)",

We were here 4 nights for the Thanksgiving Holiday with my family- 2 small boys and my husband and we were given a tiny room, not spacious at all and just imagine the face on my kids: " this is so small, mommy we can't even play in this hotel room". This hotel is getting 2 stars for the great location- in the marina and the views are spectacular. The restaurant is not that great either and they have a low selection. We had to look for another restaurant for dinner since we weren't very fond of the One in the hotel. Next time we visit San Diego we will definitely look for a better hotel.       - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=R8G654NJ2Kcfyc-Enmtkwg)",

We stay in the Casa Del Mar building with a view of the bay. During the summer, the prices are too high for us, however, other times during the year you can get great deals. They don't charge for parking like most other hotels in the San Diego area. The pools are good, the balconies (Casa Del Mar) are great! Right across the street in a park with a great area to walk. You get a great view of the bay right across the street. One of our favorite places to stay.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=uCuB4r3H8aN4NlrunhCjgg)",

Great location and excellent service. We had two rooms with the intent of relaxing and catching up on the little patio area in front of our room overlooking the harbor but there were no chairs. I simply called the front desk and within 5 minutes chairs and a table were brought to us. The room was well appointed with a large flat-screen TV and the king bed was super comfortable. I wish I could just move in. Rather than drive to dinner, we stayed at the hotel's Blue Wave bar and grill- very nice. Great selection of drinks and fresh seafood- just what we wanted. Breakfast- again at the Blue Wave, was perfect. The eggs Benedict were spot on. Only improvement would be to drop that coffee pot off with us- man we could not get enough! The grounds were lovely and well cared for. They even had a computer handy where I could print out our boarding passes for the next flight and I really wish we could have enjoyed the pool during our stay- it was so pretty! I would LOVE to stay at the Island Palms again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=8UejBYEysJTuQ0c_00RkWg)",

Nice patio area gives it that home feeling. Although I do have some complains I only stayed for one night and that one night I found two cockroaches in the bathroom like seriously? Come on Best western you disappointed me. I complained on their survey, and I didn't even get an apology. I mean then what's the point of the survey? Also idk if it was their sheets or the bed but after I was really itchy. Mmm. Well I wish I had a better experience. The director of guest service got in contact with me; with swift reaction I do appreciate their effort to correct the issue. It's something you hardly expect let alone receive with other companies. This only speaks of how customer oriented they are. Thank you Best Western.      As you mentioned, we quickly responded to your original comment card for this stay back in November 2011. At that time, we apologized for the issues that you experienced and took steps to make sure this problem would not happen in the future. Although belated, we thank you for staying with us and we'll hope to see you again.

We always book full suites because we have a large family. We prefer the grand view suite with the private patio and full kitchen but somehow I didn't book that type of room for our last stay. I booked through a third party booking site and wasn't sure so I called the hotel and spoke with Hank. I asked if we would have the private patio and he said yes. When we arrived we had a regular suite. It had a patio table by the garden but it wasn't private. People kept sitting at the patio table right in front of our door and smoking. The first night was awful. We could smell the cigarettes even though the doors were closed. The next morning I took a picture of a lady sitting at our table smoking and showed it to the front desk people and they switched our room to a king grand view suite. I prefer two queens but I rather have a private patio. We had to wait all day for the room to come available. They had a nice girl move our luggage. The new room was fine but a little dated. There was only one skillet in the kitchen and we had to call for a pan to use for boiling water. There was no dish soap or dish rags. All those things were in the first room though. Everything else was fine. I will stay here next time we come to San Diego. Now I know to ask for the "grand view suite"     [See all photos from Joanna S. for Best Western Plus Island Palms Hotel & Marina](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?userid=BzGjSOCh21Jgs1wJnByHDw)     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=MttqjYh21lq9_J0od_aMJw)",

Firstly, Austen was infinitely slower than all the receptionists to confirm my Hotels.com booking. Of course, while he was prompt to take my money in full - the room was not ready. What peeved me most was how my colleagues at the same conference before and after me that confirmed their booking through the next attendant, got their rooms immediately. Terribly inconvenient. I must add that the room seemed to be convenient for most purposes, except that the shower drain stank every time the water was going through - sewage smell - that was inconvenient for having a bath. Chris, checking happening before 4 was not the issue - it was the disparate treatment. My colleagues standing ahead of me got the room, the ones after me got the room - just me that did not. One would expect that the rooms would be provided in order so it does not explain your answer that I should be "satisfied" and/or elated that you gave me a room - I did not beg for it - I paid upfront and booked months in advance. Not cool. Disparate treatment is my claim. And I stand by it.      Thank you for sharing your feedback. I apologize that your check-in experience took some time and I completely understand that it would be frustrating to have some of your colleagues receive rooms while yours was not yet ready. I show we were able to check you in to your room an hour before our check-in time of 4:00pm. Ideally your room would be ready early at the same time as your colleagues, unfortunately this is not always possible. I'm glad to see it looks like you enjoyed your visit in other aspects; I hope you'll return to visit us again so we can provide you with an exceptional experience all around. Kind of interesting experience. Firstly, Austen was infinitely slower than all the receptionists to confirm my Hotels.com booking.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Tanya C.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=e9E1P4HhoCoVSFgtHl6Hvw) We really liked this hotel. The lobby is beautiful and our room had an amazing marina view. What a treat! The room was updated and adequate. Not fancy but it was clean. The grounds were very quiet and peaceful. 4 stars for two reasons. The pool looked great but the hot tub was green. They have another pool and hot tub but we did not want to walk to the other end. The restaurant is conveniently located but the food we had ( calamari and Caesar salad) was not very good and tiny portions for the cost. Overall though we had a great experience here and definitely would come back.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=jznG1GwIrajNBc8bS0KGSw)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Slash M.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ijCNYjV0FGL3Qa27GjRTwg) This my favorite place to stay in San Diego. I spend a night here about every two weeks. Consistently friendly helpful staff, great views, great location, good food,nice bar, nice pools and jacuzzis. What's not to like? Let's face it, there are a ton of hotels in San Diego. I drive about 15 minutes out of my way to stay here. There's a Holiday Inn one block from my office in Mission Valley but it's consistently $30-$50 more than the Island Palms and has views of, uhm, Interstate 15. This hotel has grown over the years by purchasing neighboring properties. The main (oldest) part is a series of interconnected bungalows. Most rooms are smallish but charming. This part of the hotel also included some of the largest rooms. Many have kitchens and a few (Villas) are two story with spiral staircases to the bedroom. The two newest buildings (in order) are Casa Del Mar and Casa de Marina. Both are full of large rooms with big flat screens and porches or balconies. Just a hint for reservations-Marina view means just that. Waterview means either a partially obstructed marina view or a view of the bay across the street. Shelter Island is also a great spot for a walk or a jog and feels safe day and night. Restaurant is also good and has fair prices for both breakfast and dinner. Bar is pretty well stocked and fun when it's busy. Almost always someone on a sailing adventure from the marina to chat with. "Its another beautiful day at the Best Western Island Palms.". Give them a call-you'll get it.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=xf-NTp-wV6KKBw17W80Ztg)",

Bike rentals, on site restaurant, easy walking trail and just off the main San Diego hub that you get a resort feel. Justine at the restaurant is great, she really makes the customer experience great. Check in/out is easy. Rooms are clean and spacious. Close to Balboa and A.D zoo. Only a 35ish min drive to the Safari park Only personal con is I do wish the restaurant had more coffee choices in the morning.

I will not be staying here again. -The towels were dirty (hairs imbedded in them) -Found a used tissue under the bed. -IF YOU STAY HERE GET AN UPSTAIRS ROOM! The walls are paper thin! We could hear every foot step and move our upstairs neighbors made. Was woken up at 6am to tons of heavy movement. Called front desk and they said they would give notice to neighbors. Didn't help. -Paying for parking is unnecessary. Save yourself $ and park in public parking, its safe. -At 6am I could hear people talking as they walked by our room. -The patio table was over the AC unit, odd set up. -The Patios are super close to the neighbors. I felt bad eating outside and conversating because our neighbor was reading a book and relaxing. We would've disturbed them. We ate inside our room on the desk. -The room was nicely set up and the view was nice. -We walked around the marina and it was nice, but it is somewhat public. -The bed was comfortable and spacious (Pillows were flat) At checkout, they didn't offer any discount to compensate. Maybe if they did, I'd consider visiting again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=e6jqF8pwhstxofN-vIjraQ)",

They did however upgrade me to a spacious jr sweet which I did not request.

I have been to San Diego multiple times but had never stayed in this area. The hotel was wonderful, from the kind staff to the room and grounds; loved walking along the harbor. And everything was within a short driving distance away. I stayed in Building B, standard King room - the room has a large flat screen TV, mini fridge and microwave, free wi-fi and parking - there's even a little patio area out front with chairs and a table. If the weather had cooperated, I would have enjoyed sitting outside overlooking the marina. There is also a restaurant and bar on site - good food and excellent service. Would definitely stay here again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=AxJNQAe5DVEIcSdOSOo3Yg)",

Relax and refresh. Be a friend to yourself and stay here. The wife and I had a great time. We will be back. The views are all great. The restaurant is good. But we didn't stay here for the food. We came for the R&R. We had breakfast here and dinner. Fish n chips are good. They were a little greasy for my fragile palate. But not bad. Breakfast burrito is ok. I guess it was good for the convenience. Sit outside enjoy a beverage, meal and an awesome view. The hotel room was great. But for me wasting away on the patio was the best. Watching our military either float or flyby while enjoying a cold beer. The wife and I held hands and went for walks all around the "island." Oh and a tip from me to you. Across the street and to the left there is a beach were you can have fires. Who doesn't enjoy a fire on the beach? Well I'm yammering. Stay here and enjoy all that san Diego has to offer. It is fairly close to a lot of cool stuff.

I really nice hotel with amenities of you are far San Diego on one side and a view of the marina on the other side. Unfortunately our room was on the first floor and had shrubs in front of it so we had no view of anything but the shrubs. Another weird thing is this is the first time that they charge $15 a night for parking. Here is a really good idea to save you 15 bucks. You can park right across the street at the fishing pier for nothing. Save your money park there walk across the street and you're back at the hotel.

Hotel is very clean and has great custom service. Due to not being able to check in early they gave us a free parking pass for 5 days.

My wife and I stayed in the Casa Del Mar building for four nights this April (2013). Grat central Location for site seeing (Cabrillo, Balboa Park, Gas Lamp District, Waterfront, Coronado, etc...) Resteraunt was Ok, not great (altho the Blue Berry Pancakes for breakfast were delicious), but lots of eateries nearby, so no worries there.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=3K9cyUtJsBerCItM2m1m6w)",

After an extensive search, we picked the Palms for it's location and price. I wanted to do some kayak fishing and needed a parking lot I could keep the kayak attached to the roof of our car and the Palms had a nice secured lot. Once we arrived, we were amazed at how beautiful the place was. The grounds were well kept and it looked like an island retreat. There was a nice bar and restaurant overlooking the marina and sparkling pool. They put us in the newer Marina 3 story hotel. It was amazingly clean, the bed was perfect with the softest pillows. The room had a nice size bathroom and a balcony that overlooked the marina with a small sitting area to watch the boats go by. It had a large flat screen TV, sofa and chairs along with a refrigerator, microwave ad coffee maker. You do not need to bring anything, it is all there. For the price this place was better than some 4 star hotels we have been in. On the opposite side of our Hotel was a beach that had dingy locks, so I was able to lock up my kayak directly on the beach allowing us more freedom to roam the city. We had no complaints and have now made this our place of stay during our next visit, which will be more often now that we have found a reasonably priced nice hotel on the beach. They even have beach cruisers you can use. Next time we will stay a week instead of 3 nights. Thank you Best Western for giving us a great experience.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=8W6nBGWWxe1ikibOoGI2Qg)",

The Island Palms Hotel helped make my weekend comfortable. The hotel is great for friends who just want a place to put their stuff in and sleep. The room we got was in the A section room 102. A card key is used to access the room (which is on the ground level next to a Pepsi vending machine). There was two queen size beds and a table in between. Right across the two beds was another table and two arm chairs alongside it. To the left was the bathroom (big counter top but small shower). To switch on the light in the bathroom, you have to turn the circle thingie to the right and it shuts off itself so you have to keep turning it. There was also a mirror closet by the bed. There was a ceiling fan (not loud). However, the exhaust in the bathroom is pretty loud so if you're sensitive to sounds when trying to sleep, you might want to look for another room. If you walk out of your hotel room, you might want to turn left because there, you will find a lot of boats and yachts with mountains as backgrounds. It is beautiful! There is also a pool and a jacuzzi. There is a bar (this, I cannot review because I didn't go in there). Around that general area, you'll find a lot of seafood restaurants and yacht rentals. There's also a park right in front of the hotel. The service is pretty decent (they change the sheets). They do serve food but it's like around $9 for breakfast and $24 for a dinner meal and if you are ordering food from them, you have to leave the order sheet before 2 A.M. on your door knob. The decor is, well, water-tropical with a palm tree lamp shade and paintings of tropical flowers by the beds. There is a TV and a game system (I don't know what kind). The room was around $260 per person per night. I gave it a three because the bathroom exhaust was a disturbance and the lights went off in our room for about 5 minutes (although they sent someone to fix it quickly).

Centrally located on Shelter Island, very close to a lot of things that we wanted to do. We upgraded to a two room suite. The second room was a living room area with a full second bath. The building we were in was the Casa Del Mar which had its own Swimming pool, hot tub and believe it or not, an outdoor fireplace. Our room was on the second floor with a balcony overlooking the marina. Off the main building was a nice restaurant/bar called the Blue Wave lounge. We had the opportunity to eat there twice, right before we checked in on the first afternoon and the Happy Hour on our last night. You can't go wrong with the food. Everything we tried was delicious. Would most definitely stay here again if in the San Diego area.       - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=nmqX1cxPOYHwql5e4U9LuA)",

Anyway, 5-star for sure. We ALWAYS have a great experience with Danny Cozart at the front desk; he's super friendly, provides the best customer service we could ever ask for in ANY place we visit in SD. We get the room we request, and special treats for our our birthday celebrations. We are almost always able to check in early and are greeted by the Blue Wave staff with friendly smiles and waves. Of course the best part of the hotel; views of the harbor and proximity to the Bay! We walk it 2-3x/day and enjoy the beautiful grounds of Island Palms, too. Meticulously maintained and sooo inviting! Can't wait to go back in June! Yes, some of it needs an update but overall it's a gorgeous place. Never experienced trash left behind from the guests or cleaning crew, surprised to read others had.     This hotel is amazing and you will enjoy your stay if you love beautiful grounds, good food, amazing staffers and comfortable rooms. It's a bit outdated on the exterior but the rooms are so clean, roomy, full of all amenities you will need. Check-in is easy and the managers are always on staff to assist if there's anything you may need. We stayed here at our wedding last year and were treated to special strawberries and champagne by the manager! This year we went back for our anniversary and the same special treatment occurred again! Thank you to everyone for making our time so wonderful, we tell our friends and family to stay here and they often do! Can't wait to return this winter! :) - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=QXY6XLhwuyxRiLGwKMQh_g)",

We decided to go to San Diego last minute and found this place on a hotel deal site. I decided to call the hotel directly but instead got a number for Best Western corporate. I talked to the very friendly lady on the phone and asked her if she could match the price. She beat it! And put us in a better room. Then we call again (this time the hotel directly) and come to find out that oops! the lady on the phone booked the wrong room for us, so upgrade again! No questions asked. So, we hurry on down there (as fast as the 405 will allow) and arrive around a little late, perhaps around 10pm, to a beautiful property and the night crew. Lets just say the night crew was much less helpful than the day day crew. We spent perhaps 20 minutes going up and down stairs with our luggage and asked 3 people for directions. We are hikers! There's an internal map for the outdoors, I guess but less so for the great indoors? When we finally found our room (king suite with marina view) we were so impressed. Huge couch, dining table, fridge, microwave, 2 TVs, a porch, and a beautiful view of the marina. The bathroom was nice too with an adjoining vanity and a yummy Oxygenetics shower head. But most important was the bedroom... and the bed! King size bed with infinite count thread sheets, incredible pillows and blackout blinds! Oh my gosh we were in heaven. My only complaint...We just slept in too frkn long everyday because that setup was so nice. ;) The pools were great but open from early to early and the restaurant there was decent, the drinks were good and the service was great. Service was Excellent, Prices were Excellent, Amenities were Excellent, Location was Fantastic but farther from downtown doings, which we didn't mind. Definitely a Best Western member now, and Definitely an Island Palms fan. :)     [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=230) [21](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=200) [22](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=210) [23](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=220) [24](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=230) [26](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=250) [27](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=260) [28](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=270) [29](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=280) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=250) [18 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/oXc22K8kzPcl7qO-Bsl5HA) ### People found Best Western Plus Island Palms Hotel & Marina by searching for… -

The location is beautiful and the hotel is huge with multiple buildings which I first found intimidating but it's just a long line with a guest walkway in the back so you can access the pools easily. What I did not like was that when we got there the toilet has not been cleaned properly. I called the front and they said they would send someone to clean it and never did. We also ran out of our toiletries because they did not leave enough for the four people that were on the record and I didn't bother to ask for more after the cleaning incident. Aside from that it's a nice place and I would come back.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=PhP51A3ySeJjGX-LUuvn9A)",

The location of this place is pretty beautiful! It overlooks the bay, and you can see all the ships. It is also really in the heart of Point Loma, right off of Rosecrans. Not bad! On the "back" side of the hotel, you can see the marina which is ridiculously peaceful and pretty. I love it so much. I cannot attest to price, as I did not check. So...you're on your own there. Rooms are fine! Clean and pretty. The beds are soooo comfortable! Omg. There are a lot of outlets to charge all yo stuff, so don't fret, techies!

The staff were efficient and helpful. The room was large and clean with a lovely harbor view. The location was close to everything, Shelter Island is a great place to relax and get away. I will stay here again when visiting San Diego.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=18Meblx993RgSHQ5sgNJQA)",

The staff was very friendly and super helpful. We received a free upgrade to a suite after checking in to our Facebook as advertised on their fb page. The view was really nice and the room so comfortable and it had a nice beach house/resort feel. We really liked the peace and tranquility of the night...we slept better than we had in a long time. The ducks were a little noisy early but that was okay. The only disappointment was the bar/lounge; we weren't really impressed. Overall it met our expectations and it was so nice to relax at a beautiful location. We would definitely stay here again!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=bePnc0sFXmfkNWQQOcpn0g)",

I have stay there for three night,I can't even sleep in any one of these days. The room is too small for two queen bed. And the room is really close to the parking and the corridor of the road is paved with stone, So every morning will be very noisy! The Cleaner dragged the clean cars produced in the hallway very harsh voice. Just next door to our room units, at the same time the ongoing specialty will bring a lot of noise every day! Do you know how terrible it was? At the same time, the network signal is very weak and even have many times you might cannot use this link. The worst of it is on the second day of I stay, I don't know what causes the hotel and the hotel where the entire island power outages, I spent the whole night in the dark. Service desk did not give any hint, even provided no lights! These have the serious influence to my travel and the mood! Relatively, they are not perfect and friendly front desk service was relatively good service for the experience. It was my highest price hotel with my trip at this time! I am very disappointed!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=bcFb0djDKryhsxM6Rb4R2w)",

Has a nice view with a nice aunset view from the pool. It is quiet relaxing place to rejuvernater. The rooms are big and roomy with amneties needed. The beds are ok-good.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Glen R.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=xpjhy9y3PCIQKrBmFLSBpA) We have stayed at the Best Western Plus Island Palms 4 times. The first 3, including a 4 night stay last Thanksgiving, were perfect and we always looked forward to returning. This time was different. When we checked in, we were supposedly given a complimentary upgrade since we are Diamond members. As soon as we opened the door to the room I knew this was not good. Trading a newer room in a building with an elevator, a balcony with an excellent view for a larger room with no balcony, an obstructed view, and old wooden stairs leading to it, is not an upgrade to me. No, we did not need the kitchen or a separate bedroom. I immediately returned to the office and asked to be moved to a room like we had originally reserved. The man in the office was very nice and understanding. He was able to move us to the 3rd floor in the Casa Marina building, a room that we had originally requested. So far so good this time. The room was just as I had remembered it from a previous stay.....a nice clean room, 2 queen beds, with an excellent marina view. And then came bedtime. In our past stays here, the beds were always good. I don't understand all the heavy bedding that hotels have gone too, but that's another story. The beds themselves were terrible. As soon as you lie down, it's almost impossible to not roll to the middle. It's almost like there is a ridge around the outside with a big dip in the middle. It's not only uncomfortable but difficult to get out of. Here is a quote from a description of the bed: "The bed you are about to experience is the Garden Sleep System by Natural Form. This revolutionary bed provides perfect support for a restorative night's sleep." I only wish that were true. There's a dial which is supposed to allow you to adjust the firmness for that particular side of the bed. I could not tell that the dial made any difference...I just rolled to the middle of the bed! At checkout, I expressed my disappointment with this stay and the reasons why it was not as good as previous stays. The man at the desk was courteous, listened carefully to my issues, He asked me to please let him know if there were problems during our next stay at the Island Palms and they would take care of them. Maybe our next visit will be better.     I don't know why I waited so long to do this review. Guess I got caught up in the Holiday Ratrace and forgot. At any rate, I am pleased to give this hotel the best rating possible. We have stayed at the Island Palms 3 times. This time, we stayed 4 nights beginning the day before Thanksgiving 2013 It just happened that my birthday came within those days, too! I can honestly say that I have never stayed at ANY hotel where the checkin and checkout process is so quick and easy. The staff here is so kind and helpful. I always feel like more than just another guest. One of the staff, Ebony, even sent me a personal email a couple of days before our visit regarding our stay. On this particular visit, we ate Thanksgiving dinner at their restaurant. They had an amazing special menu for the occasion. It was a very relaxing dinner with a nice view of the peaceful marina.This could become a tradition! Oh, our room. We stayed in a 2 room suite with 2 bathrooms overlooking the marina. We had lots of space in a very clean facility. Such a feeling of tranquility sitting on the balcony overlooking the marina.I would definitely reccomend paying extra for a marina view. We've stayed at other hotels in San Diego but there is none with such a peaceful, quiet setting with a great helpful welcoming staff. I am anxious for our next visit. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=LeqWIWP5luIxfGVC9H91xw)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Donna F.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=9GlI5rOLqZsyNQ2C-hR38Q) I have stayed at this hotel at least four times, once we came home on a Sunday and went back to San Diego the following Friday. I love staying here, the views are great and once when my grandson was due home, we watched his ship, The Carl Vinson go right in front of us. On the first stay, they asked if I had any problems, I told them it was hard to see in the mirror, since they had no full length ones in the room. Our next stay they had put in the full length mirror. I don't know if all the rooms have them, since we request the same room each time. We will be staying there for my granddaughters wedding along with my sister and a good friend     [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=480) [46](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=450) [47](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=460) [48](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=470) [49](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=480) [51](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=500) [52](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=510) [53](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=520) [54](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=530) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-western-plus-island-palms-hotel-and-marina-san-diego?start=500) [18 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/oXc22K8kzPcl7qO-Bsl5HA) ### People found Best Western Plus Island Palms Hotel & Marina by searching for… -

The staff in Reception were all friendly, and the room was clean and had a great view of the marina. My only complaint is the walls are a little thin, and someone in a nearby room was watching TV fairly loudly until at least 3am every night.

The hotel is very nice, I stayed in the newest building facing the yachts. The room is gorgeous , modern , and very posh . Furthermore, my room was pretty sound proof. I could not hear anything outside my room so that's a big plus for light sleepers. But I value a good night sleep over aesthetics,the fact that my bed was so firm I woke up at least a good 5 times throughout the night is a big enough issue for me to not recommend this hotel. Even dinky places have pillow tops, why not this place? So firm and difficultly to sleep on. Everyone in my family complained except for my sister. Honestly she could sleep on the floor and it wouldn't phase her.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=p82Oi8n25KffU7SV5yyYzQ)",

When I made a reservation, I clicked on a number that looked to be this hotel, turns out I booked through priceline. The hotel would not give me credit for the stay on my rewards. Hilton gives credit no matter who you book through. Also, I forgot my curling iron in the room, of course they had no record of it being in lost and found, which means housekeeping has a nice new curling iron. The price to book is much higher if you call than booking online. The rooms are small and basic, the location is nice if you're traveling in on hwy 8. I found the manager to be non accommodating. We will not return.

My marina view from my room was amazing and relaxing. Room was clean. Windows can be open for fresh outside air. Bed was comfortable. You can walk around Shelter Island, go fishing, cookout, or rent a boat or other water sport stuff in walking distance. Both pools are nice as well. You can park across the street to save hotel parking fees. (Short walk) Everyone working here seemed nice. Danny at the desk was exceptionally helpful.

Prior to our trip, I had done a good amount of research while trying to find a place to stay. First criteria was room rate and a few hotels came into consideration. I chose this hotel based on the location, reviews, and ambience. (other hotels were some of the large convention/downtown hotels) I am so glad I picked the Best Western Island Palms. Shelter Island is beautiful, quiet, and traffic free. It has a nice long walkway for a great stroll and nice views of the downtown skyline. Throughout our stay we received great service and the property amenities such as the lobby pool were great. Room was a decent size and had just the right upgrades. The views are great whether you're looking at the bay or marina side. The property itself is pretty and relaxing. During our stay we ordered room service several times and the options are not only inexpensive, they taste great! Doesn't always happen with hotel/room service food. Overall great experience. A great stay at a mid range priced hotel (~$180 on this particular weekend).     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=k2FCwu4slcskg0ZFJICvmw)",

As Expedia Elite members they upgraded us to a suite. The room was large and had a nice seating area and nook table. The mini-fridge was more like a "micro" fridge. The TV remotes were strangely lagging or the batteries were dying, so we didn't even fuss watching TV. The grounds are well kept, and the location is great for going to a Humphrey's show. Walking to nearby food can be a bit far to walk (about 15 minutes).         - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=jZO9ZG_9mf34bEzpZCZKsg)",

This was one of the hotels on the list that was a little less expensive than the other options. I arrived at about midnight on a Thursday night. I checked in -- cute lobby and it looked safe... there was some construction on the road at the time. My room was clean, the shower was fine. Meets the Best Western standard... almost made me feel like I was in Hawaii again. Decent hotel. For the price in San Diego, seems like a deal.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=xqxZNpSTFmydG3a7FkPIlQ)",

I just want to start off by saying it really is a beautiful place and nice area and i was really hoping on returning. My girlfriend and I stayed one night for a concert that was nearby. On the first day the shower head popped off a smacked me in the head. We called the front desk and they sent someone to give the shower head a "fix" and they offered to waive the parking fee ($25) . The next day my girlfriend also got hit by the shower head that was supposedly fixed and we called to have them to come replace it. Unfortunately they never came to fix it and we left the hotel to return home. I payed for the hotel a month in advance and i come to home to see my bank account was charged again for the hotel. I called back and they said it was a mistake and the credit will be placed into my account in the next few days. I really wish they did more than just waive the mandatory $25 parking fee. If they reach out to us we would greatly appreciate it and i would even edit this review. shower heads falling on each of us with full speed water and getting charged twice for the hotel was not fun lol..

Best Western is not "Best" in my opinion. I will no longer be a member. I thought because of this location, Shelter Island,it would be better..but it isn't.

Everything about the party was 5/5 stars. The coordinator was very helpful and responsive to emails, they had a variety of packages that they were willing to help us mix-n-match, the food was incredible and the venue (the downstairs ballroom) was beautiful. It opens onto a dock on the marina so our guests could step out of the ballroom and enjoy their cocktails on the water. I loved that party so much. A year later, we booked a room here to celebrate our one year anniversary. While our room was adequate (clean, cute patio, memory foam topper on the mattress), I was kind of disappointed that no one at the hotel acknowledged our anniversary at all. I didn't push for anything, but I did mention it when I booked the room. I have stayed at a variety of hotels for other anniversaries and almost always have at least gotten a card from the front desk. Since this was the actual location of our celebration, it was a bit of a let-down to have it go totally missed. While Island Palms is a perfectly lovely place to stay for business trips or vacations, if it is a special occasion I would recommend looking for another hotel. The restaurant and bar here are also very good, so check it out if you stay here!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Ema6BjcUJz7GEafLaSsjVw)",

We keep coming back. The view from most rooms is outstanding. Unlike the location of many hotels in San Diego, Shelter Island is free of excess traffic. Several restaurants are located within one mile. I can especially recommend the Mexican restaurant Miguel's. Here are a few pluses and minuses that you would not guess from the ads and hotel sites. Loaner bicycles. Shelter island is a pretty and safe place to ride. Bring your own helmet from home. Nearby dining in all price ranges. They now charge for parking. The hotel's guide in each room still says parking is free. No mention of a charge for parking was made when I made reservations at the desk. They did mention it at check-in, however. Martin N.'s review also mentions the parking charge in his 6/15 review. They have had plenty of time to update their literature, procedures and ads. This strikes me as a way to charge $10/night without the charge appearing in the very competitive on-line price quotes.

One word comes to mind when it comes to this place.... And I've been in cleaner motels for 60$ a night!! When we walked into the hallway of where our room was the smell of dirtiness overcame me. Our room was 2 feet next to the security door to get into the hallway of rooms which slammed every 5 minutes. It felt like someone was going to walk in any minute. When we got into the room, the smell from the dusty dirty carpet made me feel so gross - I wouldn't walk barefoot on that carpet and it had the color of a carpet from a motel...puke green. I then went to look out onto our balcony looking over the marina which looked more over the pool area than anything. When I had booked this room WITH THE HOTEL, I asked for a nice view and with this one I wouldn't even be able to have the dusty blinds open without everyone staring into our room from the pool. It was LOUD!! Even for a small "hotel", I could hear every word of our neighbors' conversation on their balcony or maybe pool area - who knows, I'd shut the blinds within 2 minutes of being in there. When I pulled back the bed sheets there were 3 long black hairs in the bed and it felt like the bed hadn't been cleaned in months! I wouldn't even dare sit on it let alone sleep on it. It just felt so dusty and dirty!! I'm 7 months pregnant and if I'm paying 175$ a night I do not expect any of this so far. We had been traveling all day from New York and I felt dirty from the flight and reluctantly took a shower. The light switch for the bathroom was not in the bathroom but next to our hotel door so I felt vulnerable even going near our door naked because I could hear everyone coming and going right outside and just to turn on the light! I stepped into the shower and didn't even want to touch the shower curtain to close it so I didn't. I stared at the towels they offered while I showered and it made me cringe. I leaned over to touch them and they were scratchy and gross feeling. I am not a germaphobe in the slightest by the way! I just appreciate CLEAN HOTELS!! If I'm paying for something, I expect it to at least feel comforting and CLEAN!! I didn't use the towels, I stood there and air dried. OHHH and the water wouldn't drain in the bath. It went up past my ankles within 5 minutes of being in there!!! NASTY!!! Because of all of this, it made me see EVERYTHING else. All the dirt and dust on everything - the blinds, the lamps, the baseboards and the old AC unit on the floor! I didn't even want to breathe in there. I researched a new hotel in Gaslamp to go to that night and stay there for 10 days instead and rang the front desk to let them know we will not be staying. They made me pay for a night stay which I didn't even want to argue because I was just so worn out from having anxiety for hours while pregnant!! I was excited to GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!! When we were leaving the room, the water was still sitting there from the shower I had taken hours prior. Even when I told the front desk about these things he didn't even seem phased. When I walked into our new hotel, there was ice cold cucumber water in the lobby, and our room is spectacular with not one spec of dust or dirt on the 19th floor.

I let the manager know and he moved/upgraded my room; then at my upgraded room there was a wedding outside of it so I needed to 'go away' for 45 minutes, which was fine because they gave me drink tickets and free food at the restaurant. Any issue I had, upper-management went above and beyond take care of me (some of the normal staff didn't really care if I was happy, and that's my only complaint). The multiple pools are great - the on-site restaurant is good, the parking is decent (although scarce at times).

This isn't your typical hotel because all the rooms are spread out over a few different buildings. This might seem like an inconvenience, but it actually adds to the "resort" feel of it. My boyfriend and I arrived before the check-in time and they didn't have a room available, so they asked us to come back later. This wasn't a problem because we were starving for lunch. We came back a couple hours later and our room was still unavailable. The man at the front desk apologized and upgraded our room for free! We got a view of the water and yachts. Plus, since our room was in the corner of the building, we had large windows on two walls. No free breakfast here, but the location is great and there are tons of nearby restaurants/eateries.

Beds were comfortable, pillows on the soft side. The bathroom tub had signs of mildew. The stairway was smelly, elevator was too slow and frequently occupied by the maids with the laundry or cleaning supplies. It would've been nice to have an elevator for passengers only. The second pool didn't have towels 2/3x we visited. The restaurant food was pretty blah. Parking was $10/night, too much for being in an area where there is free parking everywhere.       - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Sc-oweS1F7yXTaf6Gd1_SQ)",

The hallways and hotel rooms smell like the staff sprayed air freshener all over the place to cover up a dirty body odor smell. This hotel is in great need of a make-over. If that happens they would be able to charge big bucks because of the location. Unfortunately, in its current state, it's a low end place. The staff were nice.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=CtEElxIc3v7ChWnnD0RKRg)",

We enjoyed our stay very much. We swam in both pools, played a couple games of tennis with amazing harbor views and had a fantastic dinner at their restaurant the Blue Wave. Breakfast in the morning also from Blue Wave was brought to the room. The staff were all wonderful and the front desk took care of everything. We really enjoyed this place and will be coming back next time we stay in San Diego bay.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=W3V3NmdHc2F_Vjaks71cfA)",

The location is great- right on the waterfront, walking paths, views of the marina and boats. The staff was all very friendly, and the restaurant was great (we had breakfast there our last day). On the downside, they sent an email form to pre-register and put any room requests. As our flight landed at 930a, I requested a check in before 12p. When we arrived at about 10:15, the room wasn't ready and the check in staff said it would be about an hour. We went to breakfast and did some sightseeing and arrived back at the hotel at 1:30 and the room still wasn't ready- and they said it would be another hour. We were pretty beat and disgruntled at this point. We walked around for another 45 min- still no room. Luckily, the check in staff found us a room because at this point I was pretty frustrated- what was the point of the pre registration? Overall, the room was fine, just had a musty smell. The shower temperature and water pressure was great, it was clean, so no issues there. We'd stay there again, just bring air freshener and know that you won't likely be able to check in early.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=W-hR_LbV8IyMs39syq7h4g)",

They allowed us to reserve a block of rooms for a very reasonable price, considering the location. The inside of the rooms were obviously recently renovated and were super clean and nice. The location on shelter island is great, with the water on either side of the hotel, which is quite large. They have two pools and tennis courts, which were enjoyed by our guests.

I am on a first name basis with the staff and I am known as Dr. Harvey. I tip well. I have a beef with the reservation manager Kyle Gordon. He does not return my emails or calls and would not see me when I went to his office. I merely wanted to use my points to defray some of my costs. I will be changing hotels to the Kona Kai.

Fredrick was really friendly and helpful. Even though I said no need to have security help me to my room, he still sent two to help and they were so nice and helpful. The room was comfortable and had everything- even extra cups, coffee maker, coffee and supplies, hair dryer, iron, ironing board and all the other expected things. The iron didn't really work, but oh well that wasn't a huge problem. The room was generally quiet only is you can hear whenever the surrounding rooms flushes a toilet or showers. (The night before I left the person next door was snoring so loud I thought it was someone in my room for a brief 30 seconds.) In regards to housekeeping- I forgot to leave tip the first day, but left double tip with a note indicating it was for 2 days on the second day. For the first day either it was a junk housekeeper because only the trash was taken out (and not help with the towels) or the housekeeper only does a great job if there is a tip. I say this because the second day, the housekeeper did more than what I asked for him/her to do! I left tip the next two days too. Checking out at 6:40 am, Fredrick was working a shift and seemed just as fresh and friendly as when I checked in days before. I was impressed he remembered I am from Hawaii! Overall, just minor downsides but considering the price I paid, this hotel over exceeded expectations.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=VIhu9BmYz6w63xwr1gtREg)",

However, i recommend getting a room with a marina view. Water facing is kinda far away, and you'll get a parking lot view 1st. I do like the affordable rates and location. High end part of San Diego! However, service was disappointing. We didn't have our rooms cleaned due to COVID (all good), but we asked to have our towels replenished 3 times. Promises were not kept. We just wanted towels, and our needs were not met. It started to stress us out because towels got dirty from pool use. They do not provide towels at the pool. Also, do not come swimming here. Social distancing is impossible in the pool area.

Swimming pool and surrounding area is great!

We wanted to stay somewhere near the water and when I came across this hotel, I thought it was the perfect location. I was very pleased when we checked in that everyone at the front desk was polite and helpful, and they gave us a great room with a beautiful view. Only downside is I wanted a late night treat and room service was all out of cheesecake.

However, this hotel purports to be a non-smoking hotel but fails to live up to it's claim. Smelled cigarette smoke/odor as soon as I walked into the room. Called to complain and was left on hold without anyone getting back to me. Called again later after detecting more smoke/odor and was told it is likely the room upstairs and asked if I wanted another room. Not sure why I had to move and if they knew where the smoke was coming from they could not ask that room to stop smoking. Went into the second room which was supposedly "Disinfected" as per label on the door, only to again smell an odor of cigarettes. On this occasion, I located the source to be two cigarette butts in the trash can and removed them. The lack of action by this hotel to do anything about the smoker and instead inconveniencing me by asking me to move only sends the message that they accommodate the smokers more than the non-smokers.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7Mi7WYr73Q_HnSYgodNUgw)",

First of all when the reservations were made it was made for 5 adults and 1 child. Which they said they could accommadate. Walked into the room and there were 2 full size beds and 2 chairs and a kitchen table. Another draw back this morning in the bathroom was little tiny worms on the floor. Called front desk and they replyed with "you got bugs?" .. the front desk clerk were not too bright. About an hour later they sent a maintenence guy to spray but later on there were still a few worms. Don't think I'll ever stay here again.

Nice room we had. Beds were large and comfy. Nice tv with lots of channels. And fast complimentary wifi. Only downfall we had was if you have no transport , there is no bus route that comes down this road. Only taxi/cabs. The other downfall was how far our room was from reception and restaurant. Must at least been 400mtres. Nice to stroll down for walks but after dinner and with a child its a little bit of a hike. They do offer golf cart drop off if you need it.

Beds are not comfortable (stiff) and our room's ac did not work properly. The air was on but the room never cooled down. Our screen door to the patio was broken & wouldn't lock properly so we couldn't even open the patio to air out the room. The shutters were broken & wouldn't close properly. Housekeeping was not cleaning rooms daily due to covid which made it hard to get fresh towels or additional toiletries. The marina view is nice but not nice enough to overcome the shortcomings of the outdated room. Next time I'm in SD I will be looking for another place to stay.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=U9NVgCLW_gwl8gpnfV1e4A)",

I'm Glad We Did. It's a good 3 3/4 Star place with great service. Sadly they still charge extra for Parking each nite. Another Hotel Chain that rips people off this way. We had reservations so everything went smooth. The staff was very courteous and helpful and check in was very easy. They gave us a great room right outside of the pool and Jacuzzi and and a nice view of the boats docked in the marina. There are two pools and Jacuzzi's on the property so Ask for a poolside room if you stay here. The pool and Jacuzzi have glassed in the walls and so it's always comfortable to sit around in the evening. The bar, restaurant and lounge are very nice and available for cocktails snacks or dinner till 10:00pm. Not much of a night life. Drinks were good and the bartender was very friendly. The restaurant was quite friendly and the food was tasty and the prices are not bad for a four star hotel. There are many great seafood restaurants and other types within 5 to 10 minutes of this fine hotel. Plenty of good food to choose from, just looked them up on yelp. All in all for the money this is one of the best deals for a nice hotel in San Diego and we Will stay here again next time we're in town.

Once again everything was perfect including the on-site restaurant. Had a great week. Thanks Danny.     Talk about client satisfaction, was particularly impressed with the hotel manager, Danny. Just a very warm person and extremely professional. I can go down the list of things but the fact is that I was completely satisfied including the Blue Wave Restaurant here which was outstanding. We come here twice a year and always have a great time. Thanks Danny, I appreciate your flexibility and professionalism. It makes all the difference in the world.

Everything was gorgeous! The San Diego bay was in front of us, and the marina was behind us. I was able to park right next to the door to our room, which was super convenient when unloading and loading our luggage. We got a really great deal with the Hotel Tonight app. We had never stayed on Shelter Island before, but we will from now on! The staff was really great and accommodating as well. The only complaint I have is that I wish the refrigerator was bigger.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=YaJTjvY4WQ-mI4qS39FJpw)",

Thank you Nancy, Joe & Lani. Checkin was easy, do try to time yours when the lunch pizza arrives since they will offer you a slice. They were able to meet our unusual power requirements (460v 3phase). Pools, jacuzzi, cool little bar overlooking the beautiful marina and across to SDYC. Good community of boaters on the docks, some serious racing sailors. Free parking for our ship car. Amazing location. Can't promise this next thing but we had perfect weather. ;).     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=PwAGsC861dj-CSVX6ps0lg)",

Once I arrived two months later, I saw prices were roughly $100/night cheaper if you book either through Orbitz or through the website- same exact room. The hotel manager would not honor the best price guarantee on their own website, so I paid $200 extra for their (Not) Low Rate Guarantee. Don't bother reserving a room through their website, as they will charge more and not honor the differences.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=qlbuyvSwYT-8o2r8VhK22A)",

Completely uninviting check in experience. Clerk was totally indifferent to guests. This BW should remove the Plus designation from their logo as there is nothing plus-like about this hotel anymore. Room furnishings are tattered and worn (see pics). $18.00 per day to park a car. No complimentary breakfast offered. No recognition of BW membership. This place has really gone down hill.

The property is beautiful, and well maintained. Check in was quick and very friendly. We had a small problem with our shower and this was taken care of very quickly. The manager of this property should be commended, as well as his staff, they all were well trained! Customer service - which included the bar, dining room, maintenance and room cleaning - was all done cheerfully and done well.

We liked it so much we booked the exact same room as before to be on the inlet side to watch the battleships and Navy ect. I would give this review a higher rating except for the following. My one big disappointment was the carpeting. It was absolutely filthy. Big stains in the common walking area of the room. I had dirty feet the first night and wore footies the remainder of the time. They were absolutely black on the bottom. It was a pain getting in and out of bed in the middle of the night and so forth, and having to put socks on before my feet could touch the ground and then taking them off so I wouldn't get the sheets dirty. I hope you pay more attention to this problem. I won't be back for a third stay.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=I8260Pw-_chn9Xndn8FTAA)",

I had to wait about 5 mins while they did a final inspection of the room which I was fine with. I got in my room and it looked nice at first. As soon as I walked in I stepped on something sharp and pierced my foot and made me bleed. Not a big deal. It was just a sticker from outside that I figured must have not made it in the vacuum. Then I found a Bobby pin on the floor. Still not that big of a deal. But then I saw blonde hair in the bed when I have dark brown hair, and an open condom wrapper behind the chair. I politely called and told the front desk just so that they were aware. I wasn't asking for comp or anything. I just wanted them to be aware. They offered a room cleaning which I accepted since I had decided to extend my stay one more day (despite having a dirty room.) Then the manager walked over and knocked on the door and told me the housekeeper that did my inspection would never miss anything because they are so thorough. In summary she dismissed any validity of me finding items in the room, made me feel like she thought I was lying, and did not apologize. I decided to cancel my additional night and went to another place. Staff seems nice but the manager ruined the whole experience for me.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ptHsIyMFv8-Dygy3mLr3Lg)",

The Wi-Fi is still the absolute worst i have ever seen. They really don't seem to care about complaints or they would spend some money and upgrade the whole system. I already wrote a review about the terrible food so I won't even get into that. The people who work there are friendly and they keep the pool area clean.     Overall it's a grand location with many things to do. Following are the biggest complaints: 1st is the awful wifi. Gotta be the worse of any hotel I have stayed at. 2nd is the Happy hour food. Walk down to Bay Club, so much better menu. There breakfast is good but lunch and dinner need to improve. Lastly they cut out a free shuttle to the airport. That is lame for a hotel catering to visitors. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=O_YT78S5HvwAa1RpQaymdA)",

Looks like the room has been recently renovated and everything feels fresh and new! You are surrounded by the water of the bay, and the view is magnificent. You get out of the hotel room and you are feet away from water! Easy access from the freeway, and less than 10mins away from the airports/restaurants.

We have stayed in the main building and in the Casa De Mar. I highly recommend the Casa De Mar building where you will have more space and it is more updated. Check in is usually very friendly and helpful. I will say last week the front desk staff was not great however the housekeeping staff was amazing. They do not offer free breakfast with most rooms however there is a restaurant on site with good food. The service is hit or miss but you can't beat the scenery if you are sitting at a table outside. There are 2 pools which is nice. Parking is $25 daily which is pricey but I believe most hotels charge for parking in San Diego. We will definitely stay there again! I wish I had room pictures but we were having to good of time enjoying our trip.         - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=JAFgOs6sMkZEE_nmwHXejw)",

The room was clean and spacious, very cute tropical/beach themed. Our room included a microwave and mini-fridge. Also included a patio with two chairs and a table. We were appointed a room in the Casa Marina section, which is at the very end of the property next to the tennis courts. There's a pedestrian walk way at the back of the hotel that goes along the marina, it's a really scenic walk. You take that walk to go to either of the two pools, the restaurant, or the hotel lobby/front desk. The restaurant was tasty and economical. There are two pools, the the big pool is by the front desk and the restaurant. The second pool is on the other side of the property, it's a much smaller pool but it's also enjoyable. Parking is $15 a night, but you can also park across the street at the marina for free, which we opted to do. The location is good in that it's scenic and you're right on the marina, there are quite a few restaurants within walking distance. Sea World and the zoo are within a 15 minute drive. I have 1 complaint: They we're doing renovations or something on the room next door, they started at like 8 in the morning every day we were there. It didn't bother our family because we were already up by then, getting ready to go out and sightsee every morning, but if I had been trying to sleep-in then it would have been a major problem. You could hear the power saw, the workers talking, and there was a lot of dust. Although it ended up not affecting us because we left the room early everyday, I thought it would have been nice for management to set us up in a different room altogether or to give us a heads up at the very least.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=s3M-nH6WzPvGmWxfdCOiUA)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Kami F.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=LvUgA6DxEYFMjm5XyK5juQ) My friends and I took a trip out to San Diego for my 21st birthday, and upon arrival this hotel was great to us. However, we ran into issues on the last day of our check-out, and missed the check out time. The hotel INSISTED they reached out to me MULTIPLE times to let us know we were running late for check out, however I answered the very first time they called, and when I asked the lady on the phone what happens next she said just try and get here as soon as possible and they'll discuss details at your check out. So I don't think this is any big deal, right? WRONG. So of course we rush to check out, and they ended up CHARGING me for a 4TH NIGHT, at $225. I called the lady back, Natasha, when I returned to my home town to let her know I had felt taken advantage of, and she completely turned the tables on me. She said they knocked on our door all day long (not true) and called me multiple times. I was also speaking with a Danny C. prior to this situation, who ENSURED ME MULTIPLE times my security deposit would be returned, only for Natasha to tell me they used my security deposit for the 4th night, even though we never stayed. I understand we were late, but to charge someone for entire night when we definitely checked out with them is entirely un-fair. I would've been happy to pay a late fee, or take credit out for a separate stay at a different Best Western, charge me at a different time so I'm not RELYING on that $225 security deposit back, but Natasha did everything in her power NOT to help out and work with a guest, and got the most amount of money out of me that she could. So not only was I taken advantage of for my young age, I had three different employees give me COMPLETELY different information regarding my stay. Sad to stay but my family, friends and I will NEVER stay at a Best Western again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=xYx4qeO0J5UZeMy-bsGQGQ)",

Rented three rooms in total. Here are my takeaways: 1\. Rooms: The suites are great. Half kitchen (no oven), living room (with sofa bed), and bedroom with two double or queen beds. Lots of space. The only "issue" is the bathroom is accessible only thru the bedroom. The standard rooms are ok too; what you would expect. Very clean. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Ceiling fans and air conditioners. You can choose to stay on the harbor side or the bay side. I think both are good. 2\. Food: The Blue Wave is their restaurant. Not very good food. That's all I can say. What we tried: tuna sandwich, cheeseburgers, fries, and fish taco. 3\. Amenities: Two tennis courts, two pools, two hot tubs. All of this was fantastic. They loan rackets and balls. They have towels by the pools. They also have bikes for free use. Some not in the best working shape, but that's ok. 4\. Location: Pretty good. You will want a car though. Because it's 15-20min from everything. We took Lyft/Uber everywhere which was a bit of a drag. AWESOME location for fireworks!! There are four synchronized shows in the harbor and one is right in front of this hotel. You can also walk about 1 mile to get off the island and there are a handful of restaurants there. No shopping nearby. 5\. Service: A couple of the people at the front desk seemed clueless. We had some trouble getting our three rooms close, despite they said they would. But they are very nice. Everyone. And helpful. Overall: It's central enough to all the San Diego sites (Midway Museum, Ocean Beach, Mission Beach, Zoo, Seaworld, Gaslamp, and Old Town). And yet a nice quite place. However, there are a lot of kids here so the pools can get crowded. I would consider staying here again, but since I would also not mind trying something else, I give 4 stars instead of 5.

Room was clean, and house keeping came often and helped it stay that way. The beds were super comfortable and made sleeping a breeze. Wifi was fast, but had a couple of down times due to maintenance. They had a really big pool which was nice to cool off in. They have a bar/restaurant attached to the building which also had room service. I ordered room service about 3 times, food was ok, but not worth the money. The room had a flat screen tv which had movies on demand which was absolutely amazing to help pass the time. The bar had wonderful staff, and all I saw were smiling faces. Didn't like the parking fee though, it was quite expensive. Overall I had an acceptable stay. Would not recommend for people on a tight budget. But than again, you are in San Diego, nothing is cheap. I would stay again if I had the money.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=MXdjCRI9TNpJ01pwLJA6og)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Jay G.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=jy12Jx_4GdPy9LwWHTX-AQ) BUYER BEWARE - absolute scam property, imo. We're here for the big bay boom 4th of July event. We drove 10 hours to be here. We booked our ~$600/night (+additional $25/night parking) suite well in advance. The Best Western booking site offers just TWO OPTIONS for your paid choice of view, those are: the premium "Water view" (facing bay) and lesser "Marina View" (facing a parking lot of boats). The huge firework display is on the bay side so of course we purposely booked the premium "water view" side instead of the marina side where there is no balcony fireworks show. When checking in, they switched the room and instead gave us a "Marina View" side suite without informing us of any issues. When we walked to our room we were of course surprised to see that our view was the parking lot of boats (marina side). Not what we reserved. Not what we paid for. The staff admitted other guests had this same "problem" (bait-and-switch?). The staff attempted to propose that "water view" can mean either side. Keep in mind this is shelter ISLAND - so it's all water view. The site manager, Nawaf, offered through his lobby attendant (at first he would not come to lobby) to compensate $25 - the daily parking fee. This is laughable and it's very unfair to the front staff to put them in that position to relay these types of messages - so I asked to speak to the manager directly. He (Nawaf) came out to the lobby and then offered $100+tax in addition to the $25 parking. I Refused. IMO this is a clear bait and switch and they may have oversold rooms or sold my room for more to someone else for more hoping that I wouldn't complain when they pulled their "water view can be either side" scam. For that reason, I would absolutely advise all who reads this to pick a different location. If we knew we wouldn't have the room we reserved, then we wouldn't have selected this location. We would have selected one of the dozen other options we were looking at for this event like Bay Club. It's really a shame that this has to be my initial experience and resulting review of the property. I will be posting the same review in comments section of YouTube reviews that suggested we stay here as well.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=gZc8SXEhjO-NUUUSMNQCjA)",

It's very family friendly. The staff at registration was friendly. When asked how many keys we needed I said three. I was told that wouldn't be a problem but I realized we were still only given two. It wasn't worth going back to registration for the other key. There were hand sanitizing stations throughout the property which was nice however at the pool you had to sanitize your own chair when you arrive and leave. The beds were a little too hard for my liking but weren't too bad. The walls are thin. It was hard to get to sleep at night with the noise of doors slamming and people in the hallway talking. Overall though, the location makes it worth the stay.  Hand sanitizer around the property.      - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=XudaprRpLi9k1zag2Z76-Q)",

The room was a marina-facing single, it was clean and had everything one would expect. The only odd thing was that there was no light in the walk in shower but it was fine in the end. The hotel was one of the few places that I have been which actually follows the conservation rules I see advertised (not replacing towels if you re-hang them) hey, I notice these things. The restaurant was good, and the staff was great. I actually never had dinner there, but breakfast was nice. The pool and hot tub were nice. I have body-image problems, but I knew I had to try the hot tub - it was yummy! They also have a nice laundry room hidden in the back so I could travel lighter than I might otherwise.

I found it on yelp, and based on the reviews decided to book here. I was a little hesitant only because it was on shelter island and I wasn't sure on what the area was like. I'm so glad for yelp because this was seriously a perfect location for us! It was a little drive but it was worth it for the less busy type of atmosphere. I was traveling with my husband and 2.5 year old son. The did get a room with marina view which was cool, my son loved all the boats. The room itself was kind of small but other than that it worked for the couple days we stayed. We did have a mini fridge, the only thing I would have to really complain about was there was no like little table, they just had a long tv type console/center. The location has a playground right across the way and it was awesome for families. It also had a small beach area across the way that was never crowded( we were there thurs-Saturday). The main pool was awesome and we could order drinks and food from the pool area. Staff was super nice and accommodating to all our extra needs. I would definitely recommend this hotel to families. No complaints here! Will definitely be back! Great job Best Western!

We stayed during our stay to visit local colleges and found out that we were also there during the ComiCon event. I was nervous that the service might be lacking because the hotel was so full, but I was pleasantly surprised. The place was quiet, clean and beautiful. Ideally located right across the marina on one end and the beach (yes walk down a bit past the walking paths and there is an actual little beach) on the opposite end; there are also firepits for roasting marshmallows at sundown. At about 9pm every night there is a fireworks show I believe coming from SeaWorld which you can see as you stand by the Marina; great treat for the family. We had an extra special treat because after our first night we realized that our room beds had all been changed to new beds and headboards!! So this is not a routine thing, obviously, but if you are staying in the 100's your mattresses are probably BRAND NEW!! Only con would be that the room is a little cramped for my family of 5, but other than that the room was great and the bathroom was really big.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=dTTFAM66wF5_b_ANM8rEHA)",

At first my experience started off at 2 stars because of weird noises coming from my room...almost like a random knocking and sounded like someone working on pipes within the walls. I went to the office and although the staff tried to give me a solution, it fell short of what I needed, which was something comparable to what I booked and time to nap. You can never get time back. My rating went from two to four stars because of the wonderful and solution giving General Manager, Barbara. She should be promoted to Area Manager or whatever she wants. She is a prime example of what outstanding customer service looks like. She made me feel taken care of when I was falling apart from being so worn out. She upgraded us right away to a beautiful room and sent maintenance to the initial room. I'm so grateful she was there to handle the situation.

Enjoy a nice walk around the marina with views of downtown and a nice sunset. The hotel grounds are pretty well kept, their lobby is really nice and offers free coffee and tea. Staff is friendly. The room was dated. The walls were dirty, carpet thin and worn, baseboards were falling off or non existent and the bathroom door to my room didn't lock. Had to keep the air on the entire stay otherwise the room felt like a sauna. Beds were okay, shower was nice and all the channels of the tv worked.

It's always been one of our favorites, which is why we booked it to celebrate my husband's birthday. Unfortunately, this was by far the worst experience we've had. First of all, we got locked out of our room twice. The first time was while we were enjoying the patio. Our key wouldn't work to get back in neither the back nor the front door worked. We didn't have our phones with us, so we had to walk all the way to the front desk for help. They gave us a new key and said maintenance would meet us at the room. Then, when we got back, the new key still didn't work. We saw maintenance driving away. We had to go through the pool area just to find a phone and call the front desk again. We explained that we were concerned about this happening again especially with plans to leave soon for a concert. Next, maintenance returned and had to break the lock just to get us back inside. What's concerning is that it looked like this wasn't the first time this room had this problem. There were already visible marks and damage around the door, the lock was warped and barely attached before he even touched it, and it seemed like someone had broken into it before. Maintenance confirmed the back door lock was completely dead and couldn't be fixed until the next day he didn't have the parts or tools. He told us the front door couldn't be locked either, as doing so would deactivate our key again. We want to be clear that the maintenance worker was very kind, helpful, and honest throughout the entire situation. We had to call the front desk from my husband's personal phone because our room phone didn't have a direct line to them. During that call, we put the employee on speakerphone so everyone could hear. That's when she suddenly switched to Spanish, despite the entire conversation being in English up to that point. It came across as unprofessional and like she was trying to conceal something. Fortunately, the maintenance tech kept speaking in English and confirmed everything we were saying. At that point, we clearly told the front desk that we did not feel safe staying in a room with non-working locks or being unable to access the patio one of the reasons we booked that room in the first place. We asked either for compensation or to be moved to another room. We were told they were fully booked due to Comic-Con and that nothing could be done. Only after pressing the issue again, and after the maintenance person confirmed the situation, were we finally told we could switch rooms. So we packed up all of our belongings and brought everything down to the front desk, only to be told that the new room was just a few doors down from our original one. That added frustration could've easily been avoided if they had simply told us that earlier. The employee also lied to me claiming she wasn't able to hear him clearly which we knew was not true. He was standing right next to us, speaking clearly, and even confirmed the issues we had just described to her. It felt like she was actively trying to downplay the situation rather than own up to what was happening. The room we were given had the same amenities, but it was clearly a smaller layout a downgrade in overall comfort. To add to the disappointment, I had a $50 gift card that wasn't applied at checkout. I emailed it up on arrival and was told I would get a confirmation. I had to call twice the next day to make sure it was processed and only after following up again did I finally receive a corrected receipt confirming it was used. To make matters worse, no one from management ever reached out to us not during our stay or afterward which is incredibly disappointing given the seriousness of what happened. At the very least, some form of follow-up or acknowledgment from management would have gone a long way. This experience completely ruined what was supposed to be a special, relaxing birthday getaway. We're not sure if we'll be back after this, but we sincerely hope the hotel takes these issues seriously for the sake of future guests.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Michael G.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=StIvOS0wqzZ2a8A80hytRA) This hotel does not give people the view they want. There are two different water views at this hotel (bay or marina). When you book your room, it's called a water view room but they don't let you book a specific water view; bay vs. marina and so you could end up with a water view you don't want. The marina view looks out over the marina right outside the rooms and in my opinion is much nicer. The problem with the bay is that you have a parking lot, a street, and a park all in front before you see the bay off in the distance; it's not as nice or as pretty. This hotel needs to allow guests to chose which water view option they want. When I talked to Kyle Gordon, the reservations manager, he said that the hotel will take a request but that I could show up the day of my reservation and not get the view I want. I told him we're customers paying a good amount of money and the hotel could easily be accommodating and allow us to get a marina view if that's what we want but he said no we may not get the marina view even if requested. That's ridiculous when it's something they can easily do but they clearly don't care enough about their customers to make the needed change. I told Kyle that I'd be doing a review to let other customers know about this bad policy and Kyle got very rude and defensive and said "are you threatening me?!" I said no that's not a threat, it's something we customers are allowed to do so that we can warn others when a company is not taking care of their customers. He basically tried to escalate the conversation to something it didn't need to be. When I saw how rude he was I ended the conversation and just left. I will never stay at this hotel since they don't care enough about their customers to give them the water view they want, and because they clearly do not have properly trained management.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=PQj6x32uK4V6jip5JGa5Cw)",

With the price (cheaper than the Courtyard and many other hotels), an awesome location, good reviews, and free parking, I decided to take my chances. The rooms aren't anything special, but CLEAN (most important!) and updated. My only complaint is the mattress, which on the softest setting was still not of a good hotel quality. Another thing that is lacking is nice toiletries, but I could really care less about that. As far as a view, we payed more for an harbor view but honestly - the marina view was much better. To look at the harbor you have to look over a busy road and huge parking lot first, and the marina was just stunning with the masts and Point Loma homes overlooking it. The grounds are nice as well as the pools, and though there isn't much on the island, it was nice to walk or jog around it. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance in Point Loma.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=woZ6mQDDTnoaTOZ_fYlI9g)",

We booked our suite when our son left for boot camp so we could be in San Diego for MCRD Family Day and graduation. The rate on the day of check in was $150 less per night than when I made the reservation. The hotel would not adjust the price. Next, the morning before Family Day, the first day to see our new Marine in three months, the extremely bright light above the dining table inexplicably came on at 3:00 AM, waking us from a deep sleep. After turning off the light and barely back to sleep, it came on a second time. Sleep ruined for the day. I informed the front desk and was assured that maintenance would resolve the electrical malfunction. After an exhausting day, we went to sleep early to be rested for MCRD graduation. Shockingly, at 3:20 AM, the light came on AGAIN. Odd , didn't maintenance fix it? NOPE! My wife turned it off and ten minutes later, it came on again. She got up, turned it off, 20 minutes later it came on a third time. I turned it off and just before falling back to sleep, THE LIGHT CAME ON A FOURTH TIME! A second night of sleep destroyed in a $500 per night hotel room. Absolutely absurd. The front desk was notified of the issue a second time, however we have heard nothing from management by way of apology or compensation.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=TjyNcVldWYpuMWXp730scQ)",

The staff is very personable, and we're genuine in there offers for help. We had two rooms for our party and the smaller one was still a large room with newer amenities, it also had a small lawn in front and a staircase that led down to the a beautiful walkway along the marina. The larger room was a suite and was AMAZING! A private vanity, separated bathroom, a huge hd flat-screen and a private portch with a view of the marina on one side and downtown san deigo on the other. It also had a kitchen and a dining-room table for four. We ended up staying in for dinner and used the dishes that were provided in the kitchen. Also, in both rooms, the windows have no screens and they open to full capacity, it was so nice to get authentic ocean air instead of air conditioned hotel air. There is also a lot of parking scattered throughout the grounds and no parking structure. We found our favorite hotel on this trip, and plan to return within the year.       - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=RnenQ6EcakBa1k47_aIyQw)",

But all in all, it was a decent experience. We were on the 2nd floor with a lovely view of the Harbor. I'd recommend staying on the 3rd floor though due to the increased privacy - there was a pretty constant stream of walkers on the path below and you're so close you can't help but feel obligated to wave hello (repeatedly). There are 2 pools on the property so that was nice because the smaller one was rarely crowded. The workout space was very small and smelly due to poor ventilation so we skipped our usual workout, but it's still a positive they had a a gym I guess. There's also a decent on-site restaurant where they have live entertainment so that was a nice touch. Parking was easy. Rooms were clean. Beds were comfortable. We'll probably be back.

The view is amazing with a little bit of imagination, you feel like you're in europe. There is a beautiful view of the harbor and the hills. Late night, you can see the beautiful lights of downtown san diego. They carry alot of toiletries for your trip just in case you forget any shampoo, conditioner, soap. If you need more towels or pillows, room service is very quick. They have a hair dryer and iron. Major plus for free wifi. Parking is not that great. Pool closes pretty early...10 pm. The worst thing was that our room was not ready until 4 pm... Yet we still had to check out before 12. For that reason, I would take away half a star.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Ls5xup6zxj4KTxxEAgPCpQ)",

This time we were treated so disrespectfully that we won't be returning. I arrived early with my 2 young kids- the room wasn't ready- totally fine. We swam at the pool until 4:00. Went to check in (that is check in time) and the room still wasn't ready. I explained to the 2 rude girls at the front that this was inconvenient as I have 2 babies with me by myself and arrived 3 hours ago....seems like enough time to get a room ready. They were SO condescending and rude and made myself and my 2 young kids sit in the lobby soaking wet, while laughing and sneering at us behind the counter for over 30 minutes. We told the manager and he couldn't have cared less. I've never been treated so poorly in my life. It's a shame they let disrespectful, trashy people like that represent the hotel.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=2j1VVwcfv52Z35CxUSyyLw)",

We had a view of the boats but wasn't nice enough to justify the costs. Just overall not good. Floors were dirty, too.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=aPb86cmT1lNaGslpFpT8eA)",

We had a death in the family and had to cancel through booking.com, were told we would receive our money back from the hotel when we called them and explained the situation and they assured us they would authorize the refund with booking.com. They lied and the manager of the location later refused to refund our money even though they had received a request to cancel 9 days prior to our reservation with ample time to re-book the room. This location's customer service is horrendous. Don't spend your money here.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=il6SpZOMrc_TJVolJ3mN4g)",

It was a king size bed and was very clean. They are a very family friendly hotel. The Sunday that we were there, they had a movie night in the pool area, showing "Horton Hears a Who."

Usually at the best western yacht harbor hotel. We couldn't add another day so we chose best western plus island for one night. We've been wanting to see how this hotel was. It's just around the corner on shelter island. First of all they have no area for coffee except one Keurig machine in the lobby. A long line with people waiting for coffee. There was no coffee machine in the rooms. Honestly who want to walk early morning 4 building's over stand in line for coffee. It Would have been nice to know they do have them, however you need to request one in advance. They should have told this at check in. We would have brought our own and next time will. A Parking $25 a day and a 5% surcharge at resturant. The 15% off was really only 10% at the Blue wave grill . Waitress expresssd how slow it is this year. Our service was good but the breakfast food was packaged potatoes and an over cooked omelette. Beautiful view of the harbor and Bloody Mary. We will continue to stay around the corner at the best western yacht hotel. There is coffee machine in room, no parking fee and breakfast served complimentary, Thank you best western we are gold rewards reward members . We're here now enjoying the rest of our time in San Diego at the Yacht harbor hotel.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Happy W.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=y761m36ggkXuU5TeCD3twg) I'm glad to see my first review is useful! I still enjoy this hotel because of its location and overall vibe; however, the king bed we slept in during our May 2016 stay was really uncomfortable, hard, and even weirdly tilted up at the bottom. When I first reviewed the location our building was newly renovated and the bed was awesome cuz it was new too! Now, years later, things are older and a bit worn. The bed is no exception. I did not sleep well, and that factored into the overall experience and left me unhappy with our stay. :/ Because we were returning guests who belong to the rewards program we did receive a discounted room rate which I appreciated. Overall, a great location, but I do not plan to return unless they get new beds in the newer Casa building!     Beautiful rooms and gorgeous location. Great customer service from the front desk, to the restaurant, to room service. I recommend staying here if you're a couple or small family. If you're planning to party all night, please go elsewhere, because the walls are a little thinner than I'd like, and no one wants to listen to you anyway. I do have an advertising/marketing/website complaint about the hotel. At this time there are three buildings on the property, all of which are themed differently; however, even after quite a bit of research I still had to grill the manager to figure out which building would be best for the type of stay we desired. I figured out they have three buildings: Island Palms, Casa del Mar, and Casa Marina. The Island Palms is the "oldest" but tends to be the most popular because of it's reasonable rates, tropical theme, and tropical foliage. The Casa del Mar building is nice and seemed the like "middle of the road" building regarding newness and prices. The Casa Marina is the newest. From what I could tell the families go with the Island Palms and the couples and older folks go with the Casa buildings. The Island Palms also have "outside" walk-up access which makes it easy with kids or older folks, and the other buildings have interior hallway access with stairs. I think Casa Marina is the only building with an elevator. The water and Marina view rooms in all of the buildings are very nice - seriously, either way you'd be really happy. The property is clean and quiet. The two pools are gorgeous. The restaurant was only OK. If you're going to eat there, choose seafood. The rest of the items on the menu tasted like food from Coco's or Mimi's Cafe, only twice the price. I am sharing all of this with fellow Yelpers because it really does take a lot of work to figure out all of the differences between the buildings and what you'd prefer. If you're staying somewhere for more than a night or two, it's important to know what choices you have, right? :) Enjoy! We did. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=gGlACxJ06r-F2nqCU97_Uw)",

At first, I almost backed off from the $300 per night price, but that seems to be the going summer rate around the San Diego area. We were in town for a wedding, and since we had a baby the proximity to the wedding venues was the key. The hotel is so big that staff use golf carts to get around, and there seems to be a pretty big variety of rooms. Our room was in the 500s near the tennis courts, and it was recently remodeled and very nice. We had patio with a view of the water, a microwave, a coffee maker, and a nice bathroom. The they also had a newer setup near the TV with 4 electrical plugs to power all your devices, and I think you could even connect your computer the TV, although we didn't try that. The beds were comfortable and the room is much bigger than just holding 2 queen beds. There was room to move around, change clothes, store luggage, etc. Everywhere we went the staffers were friendly. There are 2 swimming pools, and and every room has a view of either the marina with boats, or the bay. If you have kids, there is a small playground just a few minutes' walk away, and there were tons of people up early running, walking dogs, or fishing from a nearby pier. The only reason I'm not rating this Best Western Plus higher is the cost during summer. If you can travel during off-season and want to be near Shelter Island, definitely give this place a look & ask if you can be in one of the newer rooms. Definitely enjoyed my stay here.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=sUyNADVL9flanI6RSy1-KQ)",

Room service took over an hour every single time, restaurant staff was mediocre at best, we often had to get up and refill our own water and coffee. But worst of all was the fact that our requests to be housed near each other were ignored and so rather than clump all of the wedding guests in one building and put other guests in the other two buildings, we were scattered about and were constantly asked to stop celebrating with the bride and groom because we were disturbing the other guests. So it made for a miserable experience for us and I'm sure a miserable experience for the other guests that were not part of our group! When we asked our neighbors if we were being too loud and attempted to apologize, they said they could barely hear us and hadn't complained. Worst of all, when the bride was taking photos the following afternoon, an hour before the wedding, the front desk called to again complain about the noise from the night before and said if it happened again tonight they would contact the police. We were not playing loud music, we were not screaming, we were not jumping up and down, we were sitting in the room with family that was visiting from around the country, drinking wine and laughing and celebrating the bride and groom. As a premier location for wedding guests to stay, Best Western should really do a better job of learning how to accommodate wedding parties and create buffers between large parties and individual guests. They have three buildings! There was no reason that we could not have had one whole building to ourselves. Someone on a managerial level should really provide some staff training as to how to best accommodate a large party and realize that calling the bride an hour before her wedding to threaten police involvement is not okay! They are lucky she did not answer the phone. Customer service and humanity is truly lacking here. They earned one extra star for having tasty food and a nice marina view. That's about it.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=xbWYQcA0oGYWmHB-KfmW-w)",

Best are ok but they give lots of pillows which I enjoy. My biggest complaint is that we have a room on the bottom floor the people above us sound like big feet. I can hardly hear when they talk but their steps are very loud. Choose a top floor room and be aware and think of those below you. I could hear them walk around until midnight and was up again by 6:30. The walking was so loud it woke up my kids and caused them to not be able to fall asleep easily.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=e9E1P4HhoCoVSFgtHl6Hvw)",

I am sort of a germaphobe and am very picky with hotels and chose this based and price and yelp reviews being that it was a last minute trip this seemed like the perfect fit. I'm glad I chose this place for our weekend getaway. Great location. We stayed at the Delmar side facing the bay. Although you can't go wrong facing the marina or the bay both gorgeous views. Although I think the marina view is more peaceful and picturesque than the bay imo. Room was very clean. The ac was not working and they came to fix it right away. Best and pillows were so comfy. There are two pool areas. I personally enjoyed the smaller pool section on the del mar side it felt cleaner in a way, had a fire pit that was very useful during the night, the lounge chairs padded. Loved this hotel many restaurants nearby buy far from freeway.       - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=6IHVDC6LGjWdF9KPM_NGBg)",

There are two buildings. The older one has the lobby and the rooms are smaller but still comfortable. The beds and pillows are great. I slew great here. I the newer building they have Jr. suites that are huge with a full size refridgerator. I stayed in one of these rooms on my last visit. It was a fantastic room. This visit I stayed in a room in the older building. I then got moved to the newer one with a marina view and balcony. Each building has its own pool. The pool by the lobby is nicer and larger but the other one is more then adequate. Both have a hot tub.this location is convenient to the airport, downtown and Ocean Beach. There is also a lighthouse at the end of the Point that is worth checking out. The hotel has a shuttle that takes you to the airport. It would be nice if they also took you to the Gaslamp District since parking is very difficult there as well as a lot of places in the downtown San Diego area.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=YGAIEaYGw1su0w5lDYapwA)",

We stay here every year, it's on the Comic-Con Shuttle bus route so we just fell in love with the place when we started staying here about five years ago. It is always exceptionally clean. I look at corners and I never have an issue, it's just always clean and the staff is very nice. They have a restaurant on site which is one of my favorites. They have a nice varied menu, and they are open from 6:30 AM to 10 PM, all the while you can get room service.     I absolutely love this hotel, the rooms are immaculate, and maintenance/cleanup crew are really nice as well. We stay here every year for comic con, as it has a shuttle right to the convention center. We also really enjoy the restaurant.

The price is right! Friendly staff & excellent service this Hotel really values your business. They also offer discounts to repeat customers just ask. We spent most of our time by the pool. They have 2, but my kids preferred the pool closest to the restaurant. Excellent food & poolside service. Heidi & Hugo were 2 pool service staffers who did an excellent job. Joey help us during a brief incident at the pool that did not detour our great stay here. If your traveling with family upgrade to a suite with a view it's worth it. We will return because the rate was unbelievable. All rooms have refrigerators & microwaves, but the suits have a full kitchen.

I love this property. Water view and it is right down the street from family I visit on a regular basis. I checked in Sunday and there was a planned power outage. Gals at desk said they knew 5-6 days in advance. BW made a decision not to contact guests. They had a xeroxed notice, manager was offsite, and they handed everyone a flashlight. Extremely poor judgment call to not notify guests in advance. A number of us checking in had situations in which advanced notice would have made a difference. Extremely disappointed. Customer service continually interrupted me when I called. I'm not upset about power outrage. I'm upset they knew in advance and didn't notify me. Also, sort by newest first. Last few reviews are not good. The either need to replace GM or he needs to up his game. Too nice a location to let it slide like this.  They knew six days beforehand and elected to not let people know beforehand.

Couldn't get to sleep until 3 am because of jet noise emanating from the airport. Also, it was so hot in the room - but you can't turn on the air conditioning because it's such a loud machine. The mattress should be replaced too. Woke up with a backache. The shower was difficult to deal with because it was so tight to turn around in. Everything was clean and tidy and organized though. We had enjoyed sitting outside in the Adirondack chairs outside in the daylight. BTW, we had stayed here once before on the other side facing the street and I don't remember noise problems like the above.

I think I was pretty disappointed overall but part of that comes from reading some of the reviews that oversold the place a bit and also because we came on a holiday weekend when it was super crowded and we paid about $250 a night. Its not worth that much but definitely worth more than your average BW motel. To say that this is a resort is perhaps overstating. I guess you could say that it is a family resort. If you are expecting to lounge at the pool while reading magazines and having a cabana boy bring you drinks with umbrellas in them (which is basically what I want out of a summer vacation) then you will be disappointed. The pool was incredibly crowded and overwhelmed with kids. There was no lifeguard so there was a lot of jumping and splashing and general rough-housing that made it pretty much impossible for anyone to actually swim. When I ventured in for a short time I got kicked in the head by a pre-teen boy who apparently been dared by his friend to see if he could jump from the side of the pool over top of me and cannonball into the center. Didn't quite make it. Fortunately they did have pretty good cocktails and that helped me to recover but there were not nearly enough servers so it was pretty tough to actually get someone to acknowledge you and take your order and then it took forever to get the drinks/food. The meals were served in paper take out boxes inside of plastic bags. I guess so they didn't have to have bussers? But needless to say it was a lot of waste and the trash cans were overflowing. Don't even get me started on the state of the bathroom in the pool area. Again, to be fair, we were there on 4th of July but really, they should have known that they were fully booked that weekend and staffed up accordingly. The rooms have a cute beachy theme but are pretty much just basic motel rooms. Ours was in the older section which does show its age in some areas. But it seemed like the furniture was fairly new and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom had been partially renovated with a new vanity and shower. It was a little weird that the coffee maker and cups and everything was set up in the bathroom right next to the sink. It seemed a little unsanitary. They did have a mini fridge in the cabinet under the TV. It was nice that instead of a honor bar they had it empty so we could put drinks and leftovers in it. Our room was right smack next to the marina which was nice to sit out on the front porch and look at the ships. But we soon found that it seemed to be a high traffic area with people coming and going from their boats (if you dock at the marina you can also use the hotel's facilities) and so we had to keep our blinds closed the whole time for privacy. As others have mentioned, the a/c didn't work too well but it's San Diego so the weather is beautiful all the time anyway. The main reason we booked this place was the location. Shelter Island is the perfect place to watch the 4th of July fireworks. You have a fantastic view. And there is plenty of room in the park overlooking the bay to spread out a blanket and enjoy the show. A lot of locals got there early with tents and camp chairs and spent the whole day grilling and socializing. However, we were still able to find a good spot when we showed up around dust. Other than that, this is kind of a sleepy area without much to do but it is a fairly short drive to downtown. You can take the trolley or a $20 cab ride. I do think that if you don't have a boat (and so need access to the marina) there are better areas in Point Loma or Pacific Beach or La Jolla where you can get a water view for around the same cost but have access to an actual beach. I wouldn't mind staying at Shelter Island again for the fireworks, though. But I would probably choose one of the other hotels since they all seemed a bit more upscale and more dink friendly.

The first round of pictures are of the many mold growths - the bathroom covered in black mold. After informing the front desk, they sent us to a second room - the other picture of the AC vent, also full of mold. After calling other hotels in the area (all being full), we again went to the front desk and showed them the picture of what they expected us to live in for 3 days. The manager seemed apologetic and provided us with a third room, however, relaxation was not possible as we were constantly concerned that the entire hotel's ventilation system was compromised. We also attempted to contact Best Western's corporate location, who never responded... A complete waste of money and vacation time.

The restaurant and bar are nice and have a great relaxed vibe. We thought the front desk was friendly and efficient. I also love the parking right outside my room.

The employees were friendly and besides giving me wrong directions to my room, they tried to help out as best the could.

Keep in mind that this is an older hotel. For some weird reason the rooms don't have balcony's overlooking the water, the deck is on the side of the room, where the stairs come up between the buildings so your view is obstructed. The rooms do not have central air conditioning, just window boxes, which are very loud and pretty inefficient. It is quite cold right nest to the window but the AC does not cool the rest of the room. It was really hot when we were there so it made sleeping uncomfortable. The suite rooms are layed out strange, to get to the bathroom one had to walk through the bedroom. Had I known that I would not have booked a suite. Also, don't expect much from the "kitchen". Basically a refrigerator and sink with very minimal kitchen equipment. The hotel didn't even give us paper towels, and only 3 plates and small glasses. The rooms show a lot of wear and tear, broken roof tiles, carpets are old, paint is scratched and peeling on doorways, furniture is chipped, etc. My biggest complaint has to do with some service that we requested, instead of bringing us a blanket for the pull out couch ( which was super uncomfortable and squeaky) they brought us NINE pillowcases. My poor daughter woke up in the middle of the night very cold because she was next to the AC, and only had the nine pillowcases to keep her warm. I called the manager about this and he/she has never returned my call. PROS- great location and nice staff.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=StIvOS0wqzZ2a8A80hytRA)",

We decided to stay a second night and Kyle at the front desk was awesome and moved some things around so we got what we wanted and got to stay another night, even though it was considered a holiday and they were very full. Unfortunately, that's when LOTS of people arrived and it was more noisy than the first night, but that's not the hotel's fault. Anyway, this place was really nice. Free parking, free bike rental, free tennis courts, free exercise room--none of the "activity fees" that a lot of places are charging these days. It has an indoor/outdoor restaurant. The indoor was very nice, almost formal, we ate outside a lot to take advantage of the yacht views. Lots of plants around, ducks and gulls to watch, and it's got water on both sides so we took a lot of walks along the Coronado side and the yacht harbor side. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=qop08fgisICQfHrnvBTniw)",

The hotel is right on shelter island with great views. We had a marina view both times and it is awesome. It is so peaceful and tranquil. We even saw the Sea World fireworks from our balcony. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with fridge and microwave. Free WiFi at the hotel was a plus. Lots of hotels charge for this. Pool was great. It was heated and pretty spacious. Only complaint was not enough chairs. Had to leave one afternoon because there was no where to sit. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation this is the hotel for you.  View from our marina view room.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7J95xxxXylpemdr_ttAZLg)",

Want to give a shout out to Brittany and Sean. Both went out of their way to make our stay special. This location, one might think is off the beaten path but au contraire. It is very central and minutes from everything important in San Diego. Thinking about booking rooms again for this weekend!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=BglOuciRdUozTEXxksGKUA)",

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and I had requested special (surprise) items to be delivered to our room during different times of our stay and everything happened too perfectly and according to plans.

My boyfriend and I come often to San Diego to visit and this is the best hotel we have stayed in. The hotel has water on both sides with incredible views and is located on shelter island. It's easily accessible to many different areas of San Diego and you can get there quickly. There's a restaurant located at the hotel and many more nearby. There were 4 of us and a baby and originally had a room in the older part of the hotel. It was a little small for us and upgraded to a larger room in a newer part of the hotel and it was amazing! We had great service and a fantastic time. We loved it and are definitely coming back again. We also loved the free wifi!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=jMgOvfbkifG5nc5Y7GRdSQ)",

So here we are at the Best Western on Shelter Island. The guy at the front desk remembered me from our last visit. Gave us a room looking at the bay not the marina. Great room. They are so nice and this place has a great view. Now off to Fiddlers Green down the street for a Prime Rib dinner.     We came here as it's in the middle of Shelter Island and we always get the same room looking at the bay. The checkin was a little slow about 25 min wait. That's because they said the room wasn't ready but it was and I asked them to go check which they did so they gave me the key. We like the shower instead of the tub so it's perfect. Two nights here with some R &R and then back home for Thanksgiving. We don't eat at the hotel but love all the places that San Diego offers us. A evening walk along the bay on a path that goes from one end to the other watching the boats and ships going in and out of the bay. The fresh air let's you sleep like a baby. The kids that work at the hotel are there to help you with whatever your needs may be. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Txa_sNMUSHfNzHwaV034fQ)",

WOW! From booking our stay to leaving the hotel we encountered nothing but courteous & friendly employees. Special kudos to Shaun, the reservation lead at the hotel for hooking us up with a stupendous room! We arrived VERY early..check in is at 4 and we arrived at noon to find us checked in less than 10 mins later. Wow! I could understand maybe an hour earlier, but four hours? We were very happy campers already. Shaun booked us into a Queen suite in the Casa Del Mar building on the second floor. The room was oh so spacious, super clean, a stocked kitchen and views to die for. Without a doubt we lucked out. It didn't matter if it was the cup of joe in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening that was being enjoyed, we were doing so on the balcony of our hotel room while watching the Navy fly over head, the fishermen/women across the street or folks passing by walking their dogs. There are two sides, marina and bay views. Although alot of reviewers favor the marina side, I preferred the bay side we were on because there was more to watch. I hardly noticed the parking lot (maybe because it was empty 3 of the four days we were there because it was being paved). Didn't mind that a bit! The beds are the most comfortable that I've ever slept in, including the one at home (which will get replaced very soon). Down pillows and comforter, crisp high quality sheets and an oversupply of towels left one less call to housekeeping. Our only request was additional coffee for the in room maker which we received pronto. Although we didn't experience room service or the hotel restaurant we heard enough buzz to ensure we do just that on our next trip. And there will be one..and we WILL stay at the Island Palms. Hopefully we'll be lucky enough to get the same room. Honestly folks, my review doesn't do it justice. When booking, ask for the Casa Del Mar building and you won't be disappointed. Again, special thanks to Shaun for making our stay a very memorable one. See you next time! Oh..and the FREE, yes I said FREE parking is just another bonus!!

During our super short stay here, these were my thoughts about this hotel: -Nice sized bathroom, especially the sexy shower. -Bed was comfortable. Fun to jump on and have sexy-time on. ;) -Ceilings and windows reminded me of a beach house. -Nice to have a fridge and microwave in the room. -Parking spots are uber tight but it wasn't hard to find parking even when the lot looked full. -Checking out was a breeze.

This time we spent the extra money and stayed in a queen suite. What a difference a little space makes! If you travel with children and have the need to prepare meals while on the go (like a bowl of cereal, or heat up a cup of cocoa), then you will enjoy a suite at this hotel. It was very clean and comfortable. Every room was large. The bathroom had ample room for multiple people to shower and get ready (no tub). The bedroom had a closet in addition to several dresser drawers. The "living" area had a large flat screen TV, couch and coffee table. The kitchen had glasses, mugs, plates, silverware, a full sized coffee maker (though no filters), a pantry, and a full sized refrigerator. These amenities were especially useful given that it was raining outside which meant we spent more time in the hotel room than usual. There's children's play set across the street next to the water. As an aside, if you want to stock up the pantry, your closest grocery stores are off Rosecrans and Womble. There's a Trader Joe's and a Vons. If you go to that complex, do yourself a favor and have a meal at the Tender Greens restaurant. It's freshly prepared daily specials are fast, delicious, and healthy. The restaurant attached to the hotel has a great vibe and view, but the food is so-so. The queen suite we stayed in did have a latch up high enough so that the toddler couldn't open the door. We were grateful for that latch since she did try to open the door herself several times. I would absolutely stay here again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ZsLVfdXcjJHMb78b_37Wnw)",

I was impressed by the quality of the decor: crown moldings, pretty blue tile in the sink area, bamboo head board, and wood blinds which really blocked the noise from the pool. Our room had a kitchenette, which was actually a full size kitchen. It could have been a smidge cleaner, and for some reason 2 of the 3 bathroom doors (yes, there are 3 bathrooms in the villa) didn't lock, but overall a very comfortable and elegant hotel experience.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Allison D.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=bLLqFWxP4cNOt_RfV1GCIg) I'm fussy about my hotels and this one met my standards very nicely. We booked through Alaska Airlines vacation and actually received the separate bedroom set up that I sought out as we were traveling with a 3rd adult. The hotel is older but tastefully remodeled with a nicely updated bathroom, and full kitchen (except no oven, just stovetop and microwave - whoops - couldn't bake that frozen pizza we bought! :) The beds were comfy. The restaurant, not super fancy but very convenient, nice view, and affordable for lunch and dinner with good happy hour dinner prices until 7pm. The free breakfast passes were only used once. Breakfast options boring and over-medium eggs were runny and otherwise uninspired. The breakfast menu could really use a lot of work. Otherwise I recommend the restaurant. The view of the marina was a fantastic surprise. Most hotels charge high rates for the few rooms with views and I always seem to be looking at a wall or an alley. The way the hotel is situated on the narrow Shelter Island, you get views on both sides of the hotel. It looked like there are some interior rooms that probably only have peek a boo views, but ours had a nice private patio with table & chairs and view of the gorgeous marina. There is also a great flat walking path that runs all the way around the small island, making it GREAT for walkers and runners. Very safe feeling and convenient for walkers of all ages. A nice way to start or end your day in the beautiful San Diego weather. Very close to the airport, and very convenient to downtown. Free parking. No elevators, so if you have issues with stairs, request a ground floor room. It's only a two-story place so that shouldn't be an issue. In-room coffee pot, and supplies. I suggest they upgrade to real coffee mugs instead of tiny tea cups and disposable styrofoam go cups - save the world and give us more comfort please! Also, how about sugar packets so we don't have to use up an entire condiment set every time we need one sugar. Also, recommend salt/pepper, cork screw (we donated the one we had to buy to our room), cheese grater, a real knife for slicing, and a real spatula. Our room had plastic serving spoons, but no actual spatula so our teflon pan was scratched up from prior guests using forks. I also need to remember to bring some ziplocks and such when staying in a place with a condo but plastic bags did the trick. Otherwise the kitchen was well stocked but the above items would make useful additions. I would return and definitely recommend it. The Hotel Del it's not, but for the price it was a very pleasant surprise.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=vrgFmo-sxFtDjboPEoaIQg)",

We weren't sure what to expect from a Best Western property. Island Palms absolutely delivered. We wanted a staycation for Becky's birthday, but we wanted to keep it budget friendly. Island Palms was perfect. We checked in on a Friday and out on Saturday for under $200. The property is quite large with several buildings spread around. Our room was in the Casa Del Mar building. Room 530. We had a balcony with a beautiful view of the marina. The pool and hot tub were just downstairs, a one-minute walk away. The room was well appointed. In-room coffee, mini fridge, safe and a microwave. It was a large room as well. The bed was very comfortable. Minor complaints, It was a chilly January night so we ran the heater. It was a bit noisy when it kicked on. Also, signage could be better when trying to locate the rooms. Initially we had some trouble finding our room. Once we were in and situated, we were able to find all the hotel amenities with ease. Parking is $25 per night. The very nice young lady at the front desk knew it was Becky's birthday and comped our parking. She even wrote "Happy Birthday" on the parking pass that hung from the rear view mirror. The pool and hot tub area was great. The pool was heated, but still a bit cold for a 50-degree night. The hot tub was awesome. The pool hours are excellent from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. We hit the hot tub at 8:00 AM and it wasn't quite heated to max temp. It was still a lot warmer than the 40 something-degree air temp. Great stay at the Best Western Plus Island Palms Hotel and Marina. We would totally stay again.

The Half Moon Suites resort was a little more expensive but still comparable and we chose the Island Palms because even though the Half Moon had nicer grounds, the service ratings were poor. We were not disappointed. We didn't get to see a lot of the grounds but what we did see was very lushly planted and had a tropical getaway feel to it. The torches at night are a nice touch. We had requested a king-size bed on the 2nd floor (anticipating noise on the 1st) with a bay view and they honored our request- usually it seems that we have to reiterate requests upon checking in at other hotels. Not at the Island Palms. We got exactly what we asked for. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. Nothing out of a design magazine but not outdated or faded either. We had a nice sized balcony with cushioned chairs where you could sit and look across the street out at the water.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Scott P.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=OAvLU7YSuqHXEohfSfbu3Q) This is the third year that I have stayed for the night of 1/1 to 1/2. You can read about the first year - management had made some MAJOR changes and they have maintained the quality that I received last year. The staff was exceptional this year and when I got to my room, there was a hand crafted note card welcoming me back to the hotel with a huge dish of sliced fresh fruit. Someone took some time to make my stay very nice and make me feel welcome. The room was in a nice quiet location overlooking the boats in the marina, and the sunrise was spectacular from the patio.     After that last experience, management made the effort to contact me and make up for the disaster that occurred. The next year on New Year's Weekend 2013, I was provided with a harbor front suite, and they took care of my food for two days. A fresh fruit and cheese platter was delivered to my room prior to my arrival. While my review still stands based on my experience, the management team has more than gone out of it's way to ensure that my next experience would be a five star experience. It was and I am truly grateful for it. I am hoping to get the same suite for 2014. While the rooms are well appointed, the walls are thinner than toilet paper and paper mâché. The hotel staff is incompetent at best. I enjoyed staying up all night to the sounds of the guests in the room above mine who were on the Bowling, Moving and Dance team. I also enjoyed the snoring of the guest in the room next door and the thrilling sounds of the ice machine constantly pumping ice through the night. Printed hotel policy stated that the hotel was a no party hotel for New Year's Eve and that security would be handling any noisy guests and parties in rooms. (A copy of the printed policy is available-email or message me.) At 11:45pm I called the front desk due the huge party in the room above mine. Their policy stated "On New Year's Eve, our security team will actively patrol the hotel and address any noise issues they encounter, enlisting the assistance of the Harbor Police if necessary." It also goes on to state, "Please contact the front desk at extension "0" if you are disturbed by any noise and we will address the situation as quickly as possible." Security went to the room and somehow missed the large number of guests partying. Their security guard was unable to read written hotel policy and enforce hotel rules. Maybe they should enlist some basic training for security such as listening and observation. By 130am, they finally went to sleep. Unfortunately I did not get any sleep and had to be up at 530am. My weekend was totally ruined - the headache took two days to go...and I had to leave San Diego that Sunday rather than stay and shop on Monday. The next morning, Sunday, I asked the manager, Shaun Edwards, why they did not enforce their own written policy. Shaun stated that I should have called a third time. Really? It takes three calls to handle problems at this hotel? What about their written policy that is quoted above? God Forbid their is a major leak or a fire. By the time someone has time to make three calls, there might be a few casualties and some property loss! By the way, I only called once. The second call had to be other guests who were also disturbed. I'm sure they are just as unhappy with hotel policy. Shaun also informed me that the guest in the room above was using a walker. Really? The staff at this two story, elevator-less Best Western put a guest using a walker on the second floor in an un-carpeted room? Some more evidence as to their incompetence and lack of respect for their guests. Try to get a room in another hotel that was built using materials stronger than toilet paper and might be more soundproof. Avoid the Bartell Hotel group as they own this Worst Western a few other properties in the San Diego area and who knows if they are worse than this. I would not want to gamble my hard earned money. Would I stay here again? Definitely not. Not even for free. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=xpjhy9y3PCIQKrBmFLSBpA)",

The mirrors were splattered and smeared, the pull out mirror was grimy and dusty, the remote for the TV was thrown into a drawer and although it was a "clean" remote there was nothing clean about it. The chairs in the room reeked of body odors. There are too many other hotels in the area to make this one I would return to. Also, you are charged ten dollars a day to park there. How ridiculous!

The filet mignons were tough, chewy and smelled like liver and guests had a very hard one cutting and trying to eat them wIth butter knives. At my table alone, most of the steaks were very rare. Each entree came with roasted veggies. The veggies were even undercooked. I heard multiple guests discuss the food which was very embarrassing for the bride and groom. They paid thousands of dollars thinking they were going to serve guest a very nice meal. The venu felt that refunding the gratuity was sufficient even though over half of the guests were served bad food. They had no interest in refunding guest meals that were proven to be undercooked. Very disappointing , so I cannot recommend this venue with full confidence. Very sad situation considering a lot of other people worked so hard to make this night memorable yet the night was overshadowed by gross food.

We were searching for another hotel in the middle of the night, when we finally called Island Palms. We explained our dilemma, and they booked us a room right away, giving us discounts so that we could get as close as possible to the rate we were planning to pay at the other hotel. When we arrived, they told us that they were upgrading us for free to a junior suite in the Casa Marina building. We were thrilled to discover a gorgeous room with a tranquil Harbor View and balcony. The generosity of this hotel turned our vacation around and made us incredibly happy! The only thing that didn't impress me was paying at checkout. We were quoted several different rates for the room--you would think that they would have somehow made a note about how much they would be charging guests. It wasn't a big deal--I politely told them what we had agreed on when we checked in, and they fixed it with a smile. We loved staying here and would happily stay again in that beautiful room!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=mIneUXNF3pM9BkSB_iyYVQ)",

The rooms were great and the views are awesome. I loved being so close to the water. The staff were helpful and tried to be accommodating. We needed breakfast to go earlier than it was offered, only by about 15 mins. The night before the manager told us they could arrange that for us, took everyone's orders, and left a note for the morning staff. That next morning I went to pick up food before the start of our tournament but food wasn't ready and they didn't know what we were talking about. If they weren't able to make this happen I wish they would have just told us so we could have made other arrangements to get food elsewhere. This led to me being late and bringing my players food right before the tournament started which they either ate quickly or some chose to just not eat. This place either needs to not make promises they can't keep or have better communication with the staff. Other than that we enjoyed staying here.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Jim T.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=oIIno_ryDmjZN8zJe1p93A) We just got back from our 2nd stay at Best Western Island Palms. We liked it so much last year that we came back. This location is super quiet and low key, located on the marina and between the marina and the bay. You can see downtown when you look across the bay and the marina is peaceful and quiet. We have stayed in a Junior Suite both times (same room) and loved it. It's super spacious for those trips where you'll spend a little bit of time in the room as well and want to be comfortable. Our room had a nice balcony as well as a fridge, microwave, sink & plates/cups. Happy Hour or "Island Time" at the Blue Wave Bar & Grill is always a good time and the bartenders are super friendly and remember you night to night. Overall, it's a great value and a nice, quiet location. An Uber/Lyft downtown is $6-10, so you can get the relaxed hotel and the perks of going downtown. The front desk staff is the best, I wish I remembered names but those we've encountered over our visits have been super helpful and genuinely friendly. There are a few other restaurants within walking distance as well on Shelter Island.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=-BV6429QYtXPLQfN1PivDQ)",

I'd stayed next door at Kona Kai two years ago but this place was nicer. The rooms are more spacious, bathrooms large and well laid out. Lots of counter space. Very, very clean! Staff is really nice and helpful. Got several shuttle rides to various places. Note: you need to call from the airport for pick up. They do not have a shuttle that goes there regularly unless you call to get a ride. There is a restaurant on site which is convenient. Cons: WiFi is really slow there. I've never experienced such slow Netflix streaming! But it is free. I would totally stay here again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=b_hWdD5OPRx35MPt_45HLg)",

The hotel is a nice little gem on Shelter Island out of the way of everything and that is exactly what my wife and I were looking for. It's got a simple but nice little pool area, with an island vibe, it's clean, the staff is very friendly. Shout out to Gabby at the front desk who took care of me. She was professional, quick, and it was a wonderful first experience when checking in. The only thing I would say as a negative is that the bed mattress seems comfortable but after 3 nights you'll notice that it could be a little better but the bed was pretty comfortable, the room was clean, and housekeeping kept us stocked with anything we needed during our stay. I would recommend this hotel to locals or travelers for a nice little place to relax in San Diego.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=sTpQqgD0lo0dQIzho-HcFQ)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Sammy G.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=e6jqF8pwhstxofN-vIjraQ) We booked a three night stay through our RCI exchange. The pictures online are deceiving, we thought we were going to stay in a totally different hotel. After reading further reviews, it is understood there are numerous buildings. I think we got one of the oldest rooms. This is the worst RCI exchange that we ever stayed in. We had dinner onsite, beers were great, food and services below average. The front desk was also lacking at check in, although we shrugged off as young help. We headed back to hotel room and I decided to look up some reviews since there were loud neighbors up until after 1am. The reviews were mixed although I did see statements of cockroaches. I didn't worry too much because I figured it could have been a fluke. I made sure to put my open food away just in case. The next morning laying in bed my husband saw a roach on the bed, ugh! We were checked out in 30 minutes and headed to a favorite spot in Coronado. The front desk Danny I believe was supper nice and comped our parking and room charges. I think we were the unlucky ones. So make sure to do your homework when staying at this resort.

A great price and experience: free bikes to roam around Shelter Island, a nearby playground, and a good sized pool.

I have always liked the hotel But when I stayed in May 2022 parking was $ 15 and now in January 2023 the parking is $25 a night! Quite a bit for open lot parking and no valet parking...especially when I am disabled and require handicap parking. In the past they use to give a break on parking fee's if you brought your placard in....but not anymore. Spent 4 nights and paid $100 in parking fee's. I usually have a fairly nice room.... but this time was a big disappointment. I requested a suite with 2 baths since I had meetings set up in my room and did not want people walking thru the guest room to use my private bath. The decor and carpet were old and the furniture was stained and scratched up. As if that were not bad enough there were dips in the floor and seriously creaking noise...a little bit alarmed. Front desk was not as friendly as usual and disregarded my comments about the condition of the room. I am seriously going to rethink where I stay on my next trip to San Diego!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Z8o8S9e6O5JRCu5DYxCGmA)",

It is literally right ON the marina and is soooo relaxing. The rooms are spacious and have a microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge which was nice to have. The shower was good too, decent water pressure which is totally one of my pet peeves when traveling. Clean rooms, cute patios, but not a ton to walk to if you didn't rent a car fyi.

I'm still iffy about a return visit (once bitten, twice shy, I guess), but I am compelled to let my scads of readers know that amends were made.     La Cucaracha in my bathroom. My friend, who was thinking of directing her out-of-town guests to stay there for her wedding, definitely rethought her plans when confronted with the not-so-little pest. The front desk was non-plussed when confronted with my dissatisfaction, and the 15% discount applied to my bill was mishandled, and I had to call back and get it corrected. All in all, not a pleasant experience and I cannot recommend this hotel. Why 1 star, then, you ask yourselves? Well, the complimentary shuttle ride was fine. Oh, no elevators to the 2nd floor, so there was some definitely schlepping of the luggage going on, as well. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=54gHltSGk6t_uHosth3FPg)",

It is off the beaten path and secluded on Shelter Island. Excellent pool and jacuzzi. Superb breakfast, lunch and dinner meals. Free coffee machine. Just a beautiful place to relax.     We stayed here for 3 nights of peace and tranquility. The rooms were very clean and well kept. It has an updated look and the customer service we received from Danny was exceptional. He was our first contact with this hotel and he impressed us. He is a professional and very helpful. We ate at the Blue Wave Bar & Grill. We had the crab cakes (delicious), clam chowder and seared scallops. The meal was awesome! Our host Janine recommended the margarita (Juan Blanco tequila). They were incredible. I say they because there were a lot. Maybe, too much. The hotel is on Shelter Island so there was minimal auto traffic. The pool/hot tub were great! So, peaceful after a day on the town. I would highly recommend this place to family and friends. A great beginning to our summer vacation travels. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ide9rRf7nt6kJmqPnsmWVw)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Steve S.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=VTYa5R-L0-i0QE9KKVlTAA) I discovered this hidden gem when looking for a "reasonably" priced hotel in San Diego for a weekend visit and finding none. I could not even use my larger chain points to secure a room as they were all unavailable and even 3 star hotels were asking $500 a night. So The Island Palms was the choice and what a great choice it was! First and foremost, you can't find a better location that exudes the San Diego vibe. In terms of the marina and bay views, grounds and overall benefit of being on Shelter Island, this place would be priced 3X-10X higher with others. It may not be "too fancy" but the rooms are still nice, clean, comfortable and functional. The equivalent of many a Hilton or Sheraton. And every staff member I encountered was professional as well as super friendly and helpful. And here's the BIG BONUS and KICKER! They do not charge a resort fee! If this were any of the chains you can bet a bogus $50 or so "resort fee" would be tacked on! I tend to stick with my loyalty points with the major chains and I had never considered the Best Western program before but, I am in it now and I will absolutely save money and enjoy San Diego by returning to the Island Palms in the future.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=We-njR66Hqd3KGsbcsoT7Q)",

We felt very safe during our stay. I want to mention the Blue Wave restaurant here. Thankfully they are open for the weekends now. We have always enjoyed the food, the view of the marina and the excellent service.

They honored their promise and I made it to the hotel quicker than their hotel shuttle would have arrived. Their cleaning staff was great and the rooms were well maintained throughout our stay. Also, the gym was 24 hours and for a gym rat like me it's a miracle. Incredible views, access to free bike rental and reasonable prices such as $127 a night made this hotel grade A. The only drawback is the thickness of the walls, which a times could make you here your fellow hotel guests. Overall, I love this hotel and totally expect to go back there in the future.

This was the hotel my hubby (then boyfriend) asked me to be his wife on our patio overlooking the marina in pouring rain...so romantic. Loved the room. It had a kitchen, living room, separate room that closed off from the living room and nice shower. Our whole stay couldn't have been any better. It was pouring rain the whole weekend we were there (March of 2010). But, it added to the romanticness of it. We could hear the rain coming down while in the room. Some people probably wouldn't have liked it, but hey there wasn't any leaks!! Love the location and they had a shuttle to Humprey's restaurant right down the street.

Not super pricey yet everything a pricey hotel has. Clean, good looking rooms with nice views. Close to the airport and downtown. The hotel is perfect for people coming in from out of town or locals looking for quick, close weekend get-away. Located on Shelter Island, you have great views of the bay and the marina. Perfect for a nice, light jog or walking the dog. There is even have a small beach area for the kids to play in the water. As far as the hotel. They have a restaurant, a pool and a gym on site. A private walkway for guests out looking the marina. Guest parking and free Wi-Fi is also available. Check in and checkout is easy. Everything you would expect from a Best Western hotel. Our stay overall was perfect. The staff is excellent. They even give you a courtesy call to your room to make sure everything is okay when you get to your room. I would highly recommend staying here. The Best Western Plus Island Palms Hotel & Marina is a winner. Stay here.

Really cool to look at specially when the sun is rising or setting. The upgrade is a suite instead of just a bedroom. So there's a whole separate living room. Two bathrooms. A dining table. Three sinks (unnecessary but I don't mind lol). Best part is they have a blender lol me and my gf fixed ourselves a smoothie I definitely recommend this hotel.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=jNKsdUNfOFsxX-PmYhwSxQ)",

And Shelter Island is basically an industrial site with nothing to recommend it. Off a commercial highway. This hotel over billed us (2 nights instead of one, which was my mistake but I thought I'd successfully cancelled the second night because, yuck). They were very nice at the time but they charged us $300. When we got the credit card statement, I called to explain and the manager refused any accommodation whatsoever.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=QcmFvcc6IY8U0FTHmwdopQ)",

I spent countless hours searching for a wedding venue that had gorgeous views and fit my budget. Best Western Plus Island Palms is the perfect venue for a San Diego wedding! The ceremony space is tucked away in a private area, with a tropical garden and view of the waterfront. The reception space is intimate and beautiful with vaulted ceilings and a private patio. Special shoutout to Maddie (Weddings and Catering Sales Manager) as she was extremely thorough outlining all the perks that come with booking this venue. If you are looking for a great venue, I highly recommend this one.

Have not been in San Diego, wanted to spend my birthday somewhere I have not visited before. All my friends suggested SD, so I came down for a week. Didn't really know too much hotels in the area, and I am a BW member. I found this lovely hotel, great location too! I arrived in SD around 4:00 A.M super long drive. When I walked in the lobby, the first thing I have noticed is how CLEAN and NEAT this place is. I was greeted by the night attendant Gabe, who was extremely helpful, got me in the room with no problems. The room was spacious, clean, smells good, and have a nice view looking out to the marina. I enjoyed my stay here very much , I even added an extra day. Slept so comfortable, didn't want to get up. I wanted to recognize the staffs that made my stay even more wonderful. The GM Barbara, Danny, Houseman, and another front desk gentlemen. I appreciate all the hard work that the staff are providing especially with the pandemic, they are very much on top of this. Thank you Team BW Island Palms. I'll be sure to come visit you again when I am in the area. Keep up the the great work!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=BdoakqD3WwUOrjyAlURuuQ)",

For the price, it's a great place. Got to the room late friday night and I noticed the toliet didn't really flush. Not such a big deal!! I didn't feel like dealing with it that night, so the next day I called the front desk and the maintenance guy showed up and took care of it. They are totally on top of things here. Next day my friend and I are gone all day and when we get back the room keys DO NOT work. At this point i'm sort of annoyed because it's raining, i'm hungry and I have to use the bathroom. We run to the front desk and I was telling the guy that sooooo many things have happened ever since we got here and now it's really inconvenient. He offered to change rooms in the newer building called Marina. OMG, it was totally nice. Located on the 3rd floor with the marina view, it also had a balcony. Soooo. much better and the upgrade was free. The staff is super, super friendly. I would definitely stay here again with no doubt. It is like 3 miles from the gaslamp district.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ocIpiuOIIyOEx13OUFcIbg)",

We felt comfortable here and even walked the island at night with no worries. We rented paddle boards not far from our hotel and took them out in the marina.

It is very closer to San Diego downtown and also many other attractions such as Old town, Art District and more. Front desk staff is super friendly and always ready to provide service to their guests. It is a bit outdated hotel for sure and their fitness center needs to improve. However, the price for the rooms and the location including friendly service, this is one of my favorite hotels in San Diego. Swimming pools are heated but little cold at night (during winter time) but there is a Jacuzzi and fire place to warm up. There are plenty of parking spaces (paid private self-parking) in hotel and walk path (about 20 to 30 mins walk). You can rent bicycles for free or charge or tennis court. \- Each room has refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and hair dryer (mine was a suit so it came with a kitchen with some utensils). \- Swimming at early evening will be the best (3 or 4PM) \- Rooms are outdated and may has some smell on the carpet. Before you will unpack your bags, please do check. Front desk people will gladly address for you (they are super friendly) \- You can rent bicycles (about 8 of them including three kids bikes) or tennis court \- Walk-path is real nice and you should try \- Many local and good restaurants are nearby and some of them are walkable distance \- To me, I prefer a room facing to yachts dock (less noisy and less sunny in the evening) \- Fitness center is outdated. One treadmill is not in a good condition (one with a book holder on the dashboard).     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=yyf0w7RWMozyWt7VECN42g)",

Not to mention the great walking path right outside the hotel rooms that follow the marina. This was such a nice place for a Valentines day getaway with my girlfriend. The room bathrooms were very nice and especially the brand new showers. The TVs were big and had a very good quality picture which was perfect for watching the Olympics. My girlfriend slept exceptionally well. Love the vaulted ceilings. Definitely will recommend to anyone!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=4X5gMxJoMLMxpEJeKfomoA)",

Bathrooms were updated and modern with beautiful tile and showers. Beds were equipped with any kind of pillow you would need - I slept like a baby all week and I have a hard time sleeping in hotels. There was a small fridge and microwave. Grounds/Area: Across the street from the bay - really great view of downtown San Diego over the water. Nice walking spots and within walking distance of food and some small shops. Right on the Marina, which is also nice to look at from the pools. We took a cab downtown and it was only $20 so very reasonable for a night out. Restaurant: The food here was really good; drinks are pricey, but I'm from WI where they're all dirt cheap so maybe I'm biased. We were confused because the menu in the hotel room booklet showed typical bar food, and it's called a Bar & Grill, but when we got there it was very pricey dinner food. We ate there anyway because it looked good, but it wasn't what we were expecting. We ordered room service off of the Bar & Grill menu another night and that was more what we were expecting to see. Pool: The pools were nice - someone said they were salt water but I didn't confirm :) There was a fireplace inside of one of them, which was really comfy at night - my only gripe was that they kicked us out at 10 or 11, whenever the pool closed. It would have been nice to sit out by the fire a bit later; we didn't care about the pool that late. A big thank you to the hotel staff - in moving one of my bags, I must have lost one of my prescription medication bottles out of a pocket. I was really upset and scrambling to find it, and it turned out someone at the front desk had it and were really nice about getting it back to me. I was worried because it was potentially a prescription that could have been abused in the wrong hands! Very trustworthy staff!      - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=BUKjX1nSmMLVjhGfR4u_HA)",

The view was phenomenal and everyone was super nice and helpful. The room was gorgeous and had a balcony that overlooked the marina. 100% recommend this place and will go back in the future.      - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=8JybDy9ba01sXoj3mS9J-A)",

This is also the place where we had our reception for our wedding. This hotel is pretty awesome! We got a decent deal which was about $100 a night. We had a room on the bottom floor right on the edge of the hotel facing the marina. Our room had a nice king sized bed and an awesome shower! When we had our reception here, they gave us a free suite too which was awesome. Close to the water, nice rooms and a good price make this 4 stars in my book.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=RuYYtPAdhVjQ6u6GqmgZHw)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Janet G.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=LUyl_ERSCDboEhLRvxi_yQ) We checked into what was supposed to be one of their best class of rooms--a one bedroom suite with marina view. The first room we were assigned to was situated with an obstructed view of the downstairs suite--a large a-framed roof that covered about 50% of the viewing area. It sticks out beyond the top floor by several yards-estimated 10 yards at least. The other issue was with the use of highly toxic chemicals for cleaning and deodorizing the room. It was an extreme smell upon entry, that made by chest tight and I could feel a headache starting. So we were given another room, this time with a view obstructed by a large tree and with a terrible chemical smell also. My husband touched the stuffed chair, and goo came off in his hand, which smelled terrible. It was a very toxic environment that even opening both the entry door and patio door did not remedy. We were then taken to a third room that had just been checked out of that had not been cleaned yet to view. It had the same obstructed view as the first one and had not yet been cleaned. It smelled like cigarette smoke, the furniture was very shop worn and grubby looking. The room, even though facing a sunny marina, was very dark and dingy looking. At that point, I went and sat in the car and fortunately found another hotel to stay at. So we checked out and left Shelter Island. Its a shame that this hotel apparently has such old, smelly carpets or furniture that they feel the need to try to mask it with highly toxic smelling chemicals. I made a note when reserving that my room not be treated with such chemicals and was assured with a phone call I made before checking in that it would indeed not smell weird. The chain hotel I ended up moving too checked me into a room that had just been cleaned--it was spotlessly clean but had no residual toxic smell. The location itself is somewhat out of the way of the area attractions and involves driving through Shelter Island traffic, then Point Loma traffic to get elsewhere. The area itself has a gritty feel to it, although there are nice view of San Diego if you cross the parking lot, cross the street and look to your left.      I'm truly sorry for your disappointing experience and I want to apologize that we were not able to provide a room that was comfortable for you. It's important to us that all our guests receive a room that is completely pleasant and satisfactory for them. I regret we were not able to find a room that met your expectations. Please know that our property uses only standard hotel cleaning products. We recently installed brand new carpets in the suites you visited and we are continually updating and upgrading our amenities in an effort to offer our guests fresh, clean and comfortable rooms. Our management team is also working to ensure that we are using only the necessary amount of cleaning products while servicing our rooms. Once again, I hope you'll accept my sincere apologies that we were not able to meet your needs during your recent visit. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback so we can continue to improve our guest experience. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ZjezPdFrwUrcSMn8YchCJA)",

What stuck out to me most though was what seemed to be a cohesive and focused bunch of employees, they were the bread and butter of my stay here; Veronica went above and beyond to show me the pool that was available at the time due to construction being done on the roof near the other pool area. Constantly someone looked busy putting in work and everyone seemed courteous and willing to help if need be. As for the rooms, I loved the shower. The two queen bedroom suite was a bit cramped yet I slept quite well in the bed which was cozy for me.

I work in the entertainment industry, and I have a rare collectable piece from the film "My Cousin Vinny". It's a promo shirt and IYKYK when you read it. I took it off to get in the jacuzzi while visiting a friend staying at the hotel. I put it on a chair with my towel while I soaked. After I got out, I forgot to pick it up and only grabbed my towel - leaving the shirt behind. The next day, I realized I left the shirt and called the hotel to see if it had been turned in. Not only did the cleaning staff turn it in but avoided putting it in the normal lost & found box because they realized this is not your normal run of the mill t-shirt. Instead, they brought it to the manager, Danny, pointing out the uniqueness of the shirt. They recognized that this shirt is probably more valuable than your average t-shirt left at the pool area....and they were right! This particular shirt is not replaceable as it's a promo shirt from the Academy Award winning film "My Cousin Vinny". I thought it was gone .... until I got a call from Danny the manager with the great news that he has the shirt in his office, and I can come by and pick it up right away. I really thought this was a Christmas Miracle! Thank you goes out to the entire staff at Best Western Island Palms - Shelter Island, San Diego! This really felt like your staff is truly a good group of people.      - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=dUmqOPWIwIadTnsgPWES8g)",

I had parts of my wedding party stay here including my brother and mother, same with my bride and her family. Throughout our stay, we had no issues with any of the staff or our rooms. Everything worked how they should. We were able to capture great footage for my wedding on the day of 11/30. Getting ready at the hotel was nice with my groomsmen, and we had no issues. The resort is also located on Shelter Island, already less crowded then Harbor Island. We woke up to beautiful sunsets after the thunderstorms the night before. Was able to get a nice run/workout the morning of the wedding. Parking was great since they could park across the street. Our favorite places to eat are right around the corner: Mr. Moto's Pizza, Better Buzz, and good bagel spots. CVS very close as well in case there were any emergencies. Everything was beautiful. The staff even offered to tidy the room prior to us getting ready. My mom is usually a hard person to make agree, and she loved her hotel and her view of the bay from the second floor.        - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=l9mrqLCaKqws6urzwMO1pg)",

I came to San Diego for a wedding that was being held nearby at the Thursday Club - and this hotel was offered to us with a group rate. I was a little shocked that we'd be staying at a Best Western - but upon arrival; I couldn't have been any more impressed. The hotel must be in the top 3 of Best Western's in the chain - because the place is run exceptionally well (I'm a hotelier) and is laid out in three separate buildings. I stayed in the Casa del Mar building - which was the second building from the main front desk. The reception building is a cool A-Frame building- that has been maintained really well. My room had a marina view - with a little patio and two chairs outside the room. This was perfect to relax on in the morning with some coffee and catch up with some work e-mails. The room had a microwave and a mini-fridge and a very comfortable bed. The room had a large flat screen TV with a good assortment of channels. The bathroom (toilet & shower) is very small - but very adequate. The location, the cleanliness, the attention to detail and the great staff here make this hotel a must visit. I'd gladly stay here again in the future.       - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=BtwPKuc-1t-pixWFSVO3ag)",

In fact, the manager upgraded our room to a harbor view AND gave us a late check out. We had a nice peaceful nights sleep. Because of all the construction work, parking was minimal and harder to find. Breakfast is NOT included, but there is a restaurant on site. Beds were spacious and there were lots of pillows, but the bed was exceedingly hard! Nearly a 5 star, but not quite!

The rooms are clean and well furnished. Not that you book a room for the TV size, but the LG flat screens are the biggest I've seen in a hotel. The rooms are not that well insulated and during the freezing week that I was there, I had to constantly crank the old school wall heater/AC that was in the room. When the light hits your door, you can see there is no weather stripping at all! Not bad during San Diego's usual 70 degree weather. Not so good when it dips to the low 40's at night. I enjoyed the patio and chairs. I had a marina view room and it was nice to sit back and drink a beer with my colleagues while watching the boats lit up with Christmas lights. The bedspreads are white, the sheets are white, the pillows are white. Need I say more? The front desk staff is anywhere from helpful to very helpful depending upon whom you get. Their reservation system must be outdated because it couldn't break apart the three rooms I reserved for myself and my two business partners. That meant an extra amount of time at check out. The clerk had to re-enter each person's name and address on the bill so we could each get reimbursed. Not a deal breaker, but a hassle. The wi-fi is weak near the back of the hotel and at the extreme ends. The location is great. It's very quiet. You do hear some of the airport traffic and there's always the Coronado naval aircraft traffic. Again, once you're in your room, it's very quiet. Yeah, it's a bit dated, but you can't really beat the location and price compared to what you'd pay downtown. Free parking tops it off.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=yxOZLNW1uCMoql3S-1snyA)",

A clean room and a decent gym makes me happy. The gym here is pitiful. It's in a different building than the main. It has a few cardio machines. The pulley workout machine is broken and they have some medicine balls and light dumbbells. It's a pretty sad set. Look at the photos. The room is pretty bare. No drinks, no pen or paper which for once I needed ! Big TV for a small room. It do have a mini fridge and microwave. These things are not a big deal to me though. I'm skeptical on its cleanliness. The tissue paper cover had lint and a piece of brown hair on it. The toilet seat had hair on it... Did it do its job? Yep. Shower worked and the bed was comfy.         - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=bVFtkfKkmMwjuSzaKXTzGA)",

The entire pool area is so charming, especially at night. We watched a young couple silently and deliberately do multiple laps around the edge of the pool, up the ramp, through the hotel, and back to the pool with a stroller, trying to get their baby to sleep. Almost everything about this place's ambiance reminds me of my Aunt Margie's house, which my father designed in the late 1960s. There's so much dark wood, so many big windows, and so much otherwise earnest tiki kitschness.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Lu8y2ayxVlAzuJEVfVcH4w)",

The part of the hotel we were guests in was ran down and, in lack of a better word, disgusting. I have not stayed in a place where I had concerns that there may be bed bugs (there were not). The hotel is away from all attractions, restaurants, shopping, etc, so you must Uber or drive , as there is nothing within walking distance. We would not recommend spending your money here for a stay.

The peaceful atmosphere soon as you enter is like no other., must be sound of the waterfall fountain crashing into the wishing well begging you to let it take you away .... ... Let me mention that you're on a little island with a beautiful panoramic view of downtown San Diego on one side and The skyline view of the towns and cities in the mountains. This nice cozy secret hides on a little place called Shelter Island right outside of Pointe Loma .

It's close to airport, but you don't feel like that at all on Shelter Island. My room was in Casa Marina (far end of the complex), with a nice Marina view. The room was huge and beautiful. Nice size bathroom, but I didn't like the heavy door that closes if not propped right. The only complaint I have is that the noise can permeate very easily. There was a crazy family staying nearby my room, and I could hear every single conversation, kids scream etc - I was so happy when they left after my day 1. In front of the hotel is the bay, and little park where you can take your morning jog or walk. I loved waking up to the sunshine over the bay. You'll need a car to venture out and try local restaurants. There are plenty of options if you're willing to drive for 3 min - I didn't find this stressful or inconvenient. Overall, very happy stay. When I come back to SD, this would be my #1 hotel choice.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=cu2W0sUYwaeoHQwnbBpDgQ)",

The place is on shelter island and has a small park right along the harbor side. Back side faces the attached marina. Check in was fast and easy. Woman at the desk gave me some good restaurant suggestions. Room was new and well decorated. Coffee maker, microwave, fridge were included. Bathroom of the king bed room had shower only. TV has lots of movie rentals available including recent releases and adult. Pool area and hot tub were clean and well maintained. They lay towels on all the chairs each morning. Pool is comfortably warm. Did not try the restaurant except or getting take out coffee. Great way to enjoy the pool side is sipping coffee and writing your yelp review. They have bikes which we did not use. Did ride our own bikes to Cabrillo National Monument. It's a 13 mile round trip. Was a 30 Mike round trip to la jolla.

Pretty lobby with pond and this time of year, a Christmas tree. Claudia was really friendly and helpful on check-in. Loved our room (#167) with little patio and beautiful view of the boats decorated with Christmas lights for the Parade of Lights. Two queen beds, fridge, microwave, coffee maker and desk,, which were all nice. Had a casual dinner at the Blue Wave of fish tacos. The bartender, Jeff, has been here 11 years, knows all the locals, and makes some tasty cocktails. I had the mai tai- a recipe he concocted from multiple mai tails in Maui - and it was excellent; not too sweet, and, dare I say, water than Bali Hai's! The fish taco was really good, too, served w/ some crispy, salty chips and tasty salsa. Pool is heated to a lovely 80 degrees; perfect for a chilly San Diego night. Definitely recommend, and will be back!

Don't know too much about the accommodations, but looks decent. The food that was served was good. I had way too much of the beef dish. Chicken was okay, but I preferred the beef dish. Scalloped potatoes were excellent with a dash of A1 sauce to top it off. I really enjoyed the lemon chiffon cake for dessert. Ate way too much, but it helped soak up the Bali Hai Mai Tais after the lunch was over.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=kjy6_6k9ow4YCvUmZtzyPQ)",

The room was much large, luxurious and had a shared patio facing the water. Everything was amazing during our stay, check in was easy, parking was convenient, wifi worked well. I was bummed we missed the Christmas boat parade we would have had a great view from this hotel. We will definitely stay here again.      My husband found this hotel while we were searching for hotels on Google. We saw the photos and the location and decided to book it for our stay last week 1/19-1/22 since it was pretty much the same price point as other hotels we were looking at. I was pleasantly surprised when we drove up seeing the views of the water. We found the hotel lobby very easily and check in was a breeze. We paid the $18/night fee to park there for our 3 night stay. Parking was easy to find -we were able to park right up at our hotel room (although we stayed Wed-Sat) so mostly during the week. The room itself was great, although it got stuffy at night, I think the wall unit A/C wasn't working correctly -I had to turn it off and turn it back on to make it blow cool air but it wasn't a big deal. The room was a little bit dated but I'm not picky when it comes to looks as long as it's clean and comfortable. Their free wifi worked great! The location is nice because it's sort of isolated but close to the main San Diego attractions and it has great views from their standard rooms. It's also nice to just cross the street and jog or walk along the sidewalk especially during the morning or sunset for beautiful views of Downtown, Point Loma, the mountains and of course the water. Would definitely stay here again! - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=4ryza1Yag_dHakeze5YlRw)",

We arrived 12/12/14 around 7pm check was easy great costumer service . The lady who helped us check in she asked us what was our reason to visit San Diego we replied to celebrate our anniversary ! She then up graded us to a suite ! No charge ! Our suite had an awesome view to the ocean. Room service was excellent very delicious food . Breakfast , lunch and dinner. Housekeeping was on it keeping the rooms clean. The next day my boyfriend and I went to gaslamp district when we came back to our suite . We had a plate of covered chocolate strawberries and a bottle of champagne in a bucket with ice. Next to that was a card signed by the employees wishing us a happy anniversary. Wow!!!!! We checked out on Monday 12/15/14 very wonderful experience.

Downstairs marina view with the plantation shutters made our stay feel like we were at home and not a hotel. The pool was heated perfectly for a December swim. Our room had a lovely dining table for us to enjoy our take out dinners comfortably. There was a full sink, microwave, toaster and blender available as well. With Liberty Station Trader Joe's close by, we were able to grab a few snacks and store them nicely with all the cabinet space available. My only complaint is that the mini fridge was extremely small (1.7 cu ft) standard is usually double that size. For booking a suite I expected at least a standard mini fridge. Overall, the room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor patio views in the morning and at Sunset. We think it's a perfect place for a family to get away to San Diego in a quieter part of town while still being only a short drive away to all the restaurants and fun in downtown. Nice views for morning walk/run. Fishing and fire pits across the street are nice to have close by. We will absolutely stay here again!

Hotel had free bikes to use and we road them all over the island. We stayed 5 days and the entire staff was terrific. They truly wanted you to enjoy your stay- front staff had some great ideas of things to do and see. An excellent value and a great place to kickback. Close to everything you need (walking distance). The rooms are clean and the facility was spotless and well kept.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=LUyl_ERSCDboEhLRvxi_yQ)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Victoria R.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=PQj6x32uK4V6jip5JGa5Cw) I had an okay stay here. The room was really nice, although there was a little smell to it. I had a few friends over for my birthday and had some music and drinks. It was a little over 10pm and had a really loud knock on the door. It was security telling me to turn my music down. So i did. Once there was a little bit of talking the loud knocking came back a mere 5mins later, the security was rude telling us to turn it down and keep it quit it is past 10pm. So that basically ruined the fun night. We had turned the music down really low and were just talking. We get another knock on the door, its a different security gaurd telling us to keep it down. I was livid by this point because we felt there was no reason for them to come back and i felt that we were being harassed by security. There was another party going on right above us and I strongly think they were getting their noise confused with our mere chatter. So my husband decided to walk to the front desk and complain. They were EXTREMELY nice and understanding and even gave him a voucher for free breakfast. I dont remember the front desk guys name, but he was working the evening shift from when i checked in at around 630pm to at least 11pm that night on 12/9/17. He was really understanding and was very apologetic. Even so the next morning when I was checking out. I wish I could remember his name. Anyways, after my husband came back from the front we continued to hang out. No security bothered us for several hrs. Because we turned down the noise. As people began to leave and it got to be around 1am... I get a call from the front desk...it was a new shift, he was sort of rude saying we got another complaint...if he got another call regarding noise from our room, the cops would be called and everyone would have to leave and I would NOT be getting a refund. I was so aggravated because we had kept it quiet for the last several hrs. I felt we could'nt even have a conversation for the fear of having security called again. During this time, the party upstairs continued to go on This was beyond ridiculous. I was extremely dissatisfied with my stay because i felt extremely harrassed and for the amount of money I paid for my suite for the night, I expected to have a better time then I did. More than likely, I will not not be staying here again. I would have given it a lower rating, if the front desk that checked me in and out wasnt as nice and professional as he was.

As other reviews had mentioned, this isn't your typical "Best Western" in look or feel. We were blown away by how beautiful the grounds were and enjoyed our spacious and clean room. $25/night to park, which isn't bad for the area. Cheap rates made even cheaper if you're a Best Western rewards member. Will absolutely stay here again!

At check in, I was charged for parking that I'm not getting and told by the employee that she did not know how to correct the mistake. This was after we argued for 10 minutes about basic math that she could not calculate correctly. Tonight, I called the front desk to see if there is a TV Guide, so that I don't have to scroll through each channel trying to find a station I like. A very rude female answered and said she had no idea of what channel any particular station is on. I find that hard to believe but that's what she said . My towels are thin and yucky. There's no soap in the shower. There's no blanket for my bed. The door of the refrigerator cabinet is falling off. This hotel gets by on the view. The marina is gorgeous.

The grounds are beautifully kept, the staff is polite and helpful and the rooms are always clean. I always enjoyed staying in the quieter area of shelter island. The hotel is a quick drive from major areas in San Diego including the airport. Theres a small fireplace near one of the pools and the hot tub looks over the marina. The price is great too!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=_R6ji_GCuYYfrp14tUqjBA)",

The idyllic location is so much better then any other hotel. Easy access from airport, don't have to wait in lobby, or for your car. Great staff from front desk to restsurant. Restaurant was a huge surprise. Like 5 star dining. Great view and the food was superb and yet reasonably priced. My friends all had steaks and could not believe how great they were. Fabulous waitstaff. Pools were great. Our junior suite was beautifully appointed. All in all a great experience. Will definately go back!

The room was worn down, corners of the walls poorly repaired and the handle to the hot water in our bathroom fell off during our stay. The microwave was finicky along with the light switches & though they offer a few streaming services for TV, a couple wouldn't work (just a black screen) and others would freeze throughout the program.

We called the hotel and a whole 2 hours later we got a call saying there was nothing in the room. I know a manager of a different best western plus she states they look very carefully and take the room out of commission for 24 hours strip the room and do a thorough check. I'm not sure 2 hours to get the call and send someone to the room is a long enough or thorough enough check. So just be warned only response we got fro the hotel was we found nothing. Ok so nothing but my fiancé over 100 times. We were faithful to that hotel we spend many weekends in San Diego but we will find a different hotel.

The location was nice and some friendly staff. Those are about the only positives. Upon arriving and seeing our room I was so disappointed, wanted to cry disappointed. This was the 1st family trip in so long and from the reviews and pictures I had such high hopes! I did not expect the room to be that bad and I am not a super picky person. The room was dirty and fabric torn off the chairs and beds. I asked to be transferred to a different room and the front end clerk seemed pretty annoyed that I wasn't happy with our room. We went to another room and it was just as bad. We just decided to go with it because we already wasted over an hour, we were tired and didn't want to keep stressing about it and putting a damper on the trip with our kids. The room was so very outdated, dark, and dirty. Torn wall paper, dirty walls, crumbs on the floor like it didn't get vacuumed, spots & stains on the carpet, rusty crust spilling out of the iron, the ice bucket was dirty, the light switches disgusting, a hole in the faucet. Also the bathroom door did not stay open or LOCK and no fan in the bathroom so I'm assuming that's the reason for the mildew. The lining of the base of the bed looked like it had been wet and had a huge yellow stain. I'm attaching just a few pictures and this was from the second room, the 1st one wasn't any better, if not worse because of the torn furniture. This was in the Casa Marina building next to the tennis courts, so I can't really speak on the other buildings, there are a few. Even though cheaper than most it was still alot of money for such a poor room and experience.

This BW is situated in a great location and the style of the hotel exterior fits into the neighbourhood. It feels like you are staying at a resort. Everywhere you go, you see the water. The rooms are spacious and clean. The bathroom is very large. There is a great pool as well. The only negative is that the hotel restaurant is not very good.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Eve B.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ZsLVfdXcjJHMb78b_37Wnw) Stayed here this past week and am writing this while the details are still fresh. The room choice might determine your enjoyment so choose carefully. We decided on a 2nd floor room. You need this because there is constant foot traffic in front and back of the buildings. This could be an issue for 1st floor rooms, especially those on the street side where the walkway is right next to the rooms. Next we chose the marina view vs the bay view. The marina view was one of the nicest parts of the stay...so beautiful and peaceful. Our view was not limited by leafy palm trees as it is in some rooms. The bay side has the parking lot, the street, and a large public parking lot/park between you and the bay so that view is not as nice. Our room was a suite with 2 bathrooms, a bedroom, a living room, and a private balcony. The only kitchen was a microwave and one of those tiny dorm refrigerators. We looked at another suite that had a full kitchen but it had only 1 bathroom, no tub, and the advertised "private" balcony was a joke. It was a table set outside the entrance door right next to the table from the room across from it and separated by a waist high metal fence. Altogether there were 4 tables on the concrete landing which was between the buildings and had no view. I have to say that the staff was great to work with. They allowed us to see the various rooms and went out of their way to make sure we were happy with our selection. The room lacked any feel of luxury. The furnishings were plain with an almost '60's retro motel look. You can see some of this from their photos. I did like the colored tile in the bathrooms. The rooms were very clean and the maids did an awesome job, but unfortunately the rooms were not well maintained. The mattress was very worn with not much support. Ok if you like a really soft mattress, otherwise not. The towel and toilet paper holders were wobbly on the wall as if they might fall off at any time. The shower knob did fall off the first time we used it but maintenance fixed it. The entrance light switch did not work and did not get fixed even though we reported it. The a/c unit in the bedroom made a loud clicking noise every so often. They did look at this and left a note about it icing up, but they simply unplugged it and left. We plugged it in as needed and left it unplugged at night. The other a/c unit was enough to keep it cool at night. With so many little issues you might expect a lower review from me but in the end most of these were minor and we could work around them. With a little tweaking these could be fixed with little expense. Management really should consider a mattress replacement, though. I disagree with the reviews I read about the restaurant. The breakfast food was outstanding. We tried the French toast, omelets, frittata, and pancakes. We only had dinner there once but it was good also. The service at the restaurant seemed to be hit and miss. Some days it was prompt and attentive and other days not so much. The exercise room was nothing to get excited about. It had a couple ellipticals, a couple treadmills, a couple bikes, and a single pulley machine. All this was squeezed into a tiny room. It did have water and gym towels available. I would have preferred more weight machines vs cardio machines because the park right across the street already provided an excellent, scenic, jogging trail. The hotel location is not right next to anything except the marina but that keeps things quiet around the hotel. It is not too far of a drive to downtown, old town, or Point Loma. Overall we enjoyed the stay and with a little better upkeep I would even give it an excellent review.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=awQRxaJekNqv7s_66vMvcg)",

Also along the walk path us the Blue Wave Grill which offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Cocktails all day with a nice patio.

Nice room with view of ships, very nice clean fresh smell to the hallways, comfortable room, and the housekeeping was accommodating when we asked for more towels . Not to mention, the hotel restaurant was good! Had dinner one night and a late dessert the other night. The pool area with fireplace is beautiful especially at sunset.

WATCHOUT. We booked through Expedia for 3 nights. When we arrived there were "problems" with the reservation and Claudia could only see 2 nights. We were both very nice and went back and forth trying to figure it out. In the end we figured we would book the 3rd night individually through Claudia. Well we get a call from the Manager Nawaf today only to find out we do not have a 3rd night booked from Claudia and they are sold out tomorrow. So Screw you, move your family out of the hotel, good luck finding another room on the weekend in San Diego. The only answer I got "must have been a glitch". This is supposed to be a nice fun time moving my daughters to College and yet I have spent over hour of my life dealing with this dumpster fire. If you are looking to get bent over the table and screwed royally go for it. Personally I think we lost the 3rd night because they oversold to people paying more.

We really enjoyed our room in the Casa Del Mar building in room 532 on the 2nd floor with a marina view. The room was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. There is nice balcony for sitting to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening, watching the boats in the harbor while the ducks and birds swim by. The grounds are as lovely as I remember with lush greenery and a relaxing feel. BW booking, check in and check out was very easy too. I received an email for early registration with an option to check in early. I was in and out in minutes at check in for a swiping of our credit card. The front registration staff was excellent! There is a QR scan in the room for hotel information, a contactless safeguard. There is no daily room cleaning. Call the front desk if you need anything. The only weird thing in our room was the bathtub, which had a a bit squishy bottom that made for an unstable surface. Otherwise, we just loved our stay and we I'll be back!

Our positive experience began at check in on Monday afternoon. The hotel was not booked up, so we had no problem with an early check in at 2:30pm. We also had no problem getting a room with a balcony and marina view. We stayed in room 676, which is in the last building before the tennis courts. The room was clean and seemed to have fairly recent updates. There were lots of plug ins around the room, a huge big screen TV, pretty wooden shutters that pulled out across the sliding glass door to block the morning sun, and other touches of a well kept room. We enjoyed cocktails and breakfast on the outdoor patio at the on site Blue Wave Grill (great cocktails, food was just okay). We enjoyed walking along the marina and the use of their jacuzzi spa. The landscape and cool ocean breeze make for a tropical and peaceful ambience. We took a nice leisurely walk along Shelter Island Drive to the Yokohama Friendship Bell. The hotel is a short, convenient walk to Humphrey's, where we went for a concert the evening we arrived. There are some areas of the hotel that feel like it could use some upgrades and cleaning up. But overall, staying at this Best Western on Shelter Island was a wonderful experience. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=VKf9dIvtThylUV9WvFlFgA)",

Gorgeous views and great accommodations. Normally these hotel is a bit pricey because of the great location but we got a good deal on 3rd party website for half the regular price!!! Bargain Shoppers Unite!! Our room had a large king size bed with lots of comfy pillows, large flat screen tv, refrigerator and microwave in addition to the standard amenities. The room wasn't huge but it was well decorated. We loved the bedding, wall art and HUGE MIRROR in the bathroom! Everything looked very clean with no visible stains or wear and tear. Our bed was very comfortable but we had trouble sleeping due to the lack of black out curtains. The room only had shutters which were a nice touch. They worked great for the most part except in the early morning, the sun still lit up the room through the shutters. We also could see car headlights every time someone drove up due to the fact that our room faced the parking lot. The noise level was pretty low but we could hear people walking above us and outside the door. We could hear the plans taking off since we were so close to the airport but it wasn't too bad. The staff was super friendly and accommodating! I had to park prior to check in, which is at 4pm, and they gave me a parking pass a head of time. Check out time is noon which is great cause it wasn't too early. After checking out the front desk clerk even offered to let us use the pool! It was really nice not feeling rushed off like at some hotels! The location not only had great views but was in walking distance to a bunch of restaurants and just a few minutes drive to Liberty Station. The only negative I have about this review is that we couldn't stay longer! :) If you are considering staying here, DO IT!       - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=4qcSrAxuZ_zPr7M7JeWOuQ)",

The entire Hotel appeared well maintained as we encountered no real problems. This Hotel is located in a great location with views of the harbor, marina and Naval base. When we entered our room, I viewed two queen beds with many pillows--GREAT! There would be no late night search for that perfect pillow.

My friend and I had been looking forward to SDCC practically all year so we were ready to start the trip down to San Diego as soon as possible. I think the check-in time was at 4PM. We called the previous day and asked if we could check-in early and we were told yes and that they would put in a request. It was about an 8 hour drive, but we made it to the hotel around 7AM (7/17/18). We got to the front desk and was greeted by Joe. I think that was his name. He was a middle aged Mexican guy. Anyways, our request to check-in early was approved and our room was ready to go. So thankfully we didn't have to wait 9 hours to check in. I did my research ahead of time, so if you plan on staying at this hotel or any hotel on Shelter Island, be sure to tell them that you don't need the parking pass because they won't inform you that they've added it to the bill. Free parking is right across the street. The location of our room was nice. Not the best one they offered, but it definitely had a view of the marina. It was actually nice to not have to deal with hotel hallways for once. You step out the door and you're already outside. No long hallways or elevators to deal with. The Queen Room was actually pretty spacious compared to some of the more expensive hotels I've stayed at in San Diego. Our room attendant, Maria, catered to us whenever we needed the room cleaned or refills for shampoo, towels, etc. The swimming pool was about a minutes walk away. You actually get to enjoy the view of the marina on the way there depending on your route. We actually hit that pool up and hot tub at least once a day. It was never crowded till the last night we were there, which was a Saturday. The open hours were a bit odd. We were told it was open for use 24/7, but they had a sign saying it was open from 10AM(?) to 11PM. Towels were always stocked, except for that Saturday night. Theres actually a restaurant (Blue Wave Bar & Grill) connected to the pool. We didn't actually eat there, but on the way to the pool once, we were told they would send someone out there if we needed anything. Some girl, probably early 20s, immediately came by and took our order. She dropped off our drinks a bit after, but she never came back to see if we wanted anything else. A bit disappointed because we wanted more drinks, but ended up leaving. On the next day, no one showed up take orders. I asked the maintenance guy if he could get someone out there and he said he would. More than 15-20 mins came by and still no one showed up. I didn't want to do it, but I had no choice, so I went into the lobby soaking wet to see if we could get someone out there to take orders not just for us, but for anyone else that was out there as well. So a bit after that, Jarvis shows up to take our orders. Another 15 mins had pass and still no drinks. The place didn't look busy when I went in there. Now, we've been here for almost an hour now and we were just going to leave since our drinks never showed up... and of course, they finally did. The next day at the pool, Jarvis was just spot on. He must've seen us out there because he came straight to us when we arrived to see if we wanted anything. He took a couple of our orders that day, made some suggestions and also had a quick chat with him. Great guy, give him a raise/promotion for taking that initiative. The hotel is located close to a lot of places and what is great about that is that theres really no traffic to deal with. Great views all around the area. Theres actually a small little beach across the street, which should pass for the kids, but if you want the real strong waves, then any of the two beaches are just about a 20 minutes drive away. I prefer the beach at MB, but OB offers better places to eat and also has the boardwalk that everyone should walk down. Theres also Coronado beach, which is about 30 mins away depending on the traffic downtown. Right off the island are great places to eat. Places like Jimmy's Famous American Tavern, Alredo's Pizzeria, Tony's Fresh Mexican Food. Nearby, there is a Ralphs grocery store that is open 24 hours, but they don't make fresh pizza like the one downtown does. All in all, it was great staying at this hotel. I would definitely like to stay at this hotel again during next year's SDCC or just for vacationing. It was everything and more than I had hoped for.

I booked for 1 rm/2 beds for one of my bridesmaids and me/ rm after the wedding. The rooms were very clean. Except on the final night of staying here the closet started to smell awful. I was too tired to complain about the room(day before wedding) but did mention it before being transferred to a different booking with my then husband. They apologized and mentioned they would have transferred me and gave me additional 20% off discount. The room with my husband was facing the marina and it was very cozy. Perfect weather and atmosphere. Definitely more quiet (no boats in the morning). Room was taken care off and cleaned twice a day. I would stay here again in the future and even recommend this place to friends now who are booking through AAA. The price is good, and employees were very nice. Parking may be limited so mention if you and your family are taking more than one car.

We stayed in the Casa Marina building facing the bay, which we were told was the newer section of the hotel. The hotel is across the bay from a Naval base, so if you're looking for a super quiet environment, you wont get it here. Naval helicopters and fighter jets flew by several times - they didn't bother us because we think they're cool to see, but again, they're not quiet machines. Another very cool thing was naval battle ships and cargo ships regularly sailed by in the bay - those were quiet. Again, we thought those were awesome! A few things we did not like: Parking wasn't great. On our end by Casa Marina, the parking lot was always full when we returned in the evening. You are allowed to park in the lot across the street, but its annoying. They have 2 pools and spas. The main one by the lobby was usually pretty active, so we didn't frequent that one. The other pool/spa closer to our building was pretty nice. It has tables, loungers, a fireplace, ample towels and plays music during the day! (80s music, my fave!!) For some reason, the bathroom door wouldn't stay open on its own, which was also annoying to have to find something strong enough to prop open the heavy door. The TV was a nice flat screen, but was slow to respond to the remote and its default volume was LOUD. The issues we had with this place were minor, and we would absolutely stay here again. The staff was helpful and very nice. I can't wait to go back quite honestly.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Vr8wJBUdXhK-VvP3CmaYkQ)",

The Kitchenette was nice with the table and mini living room. The only thing that I wish would change is the continental breakfast, which you have to pay for :( although it gave some opportunities to try local places. Other than that you can get free coffee which was a W and it was very good.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=IEnAqSUZhV79RrrLhtmeGw)",

The scenery was by far worth every penny. There are two pools and two hot tubs so if you don't like being around very many people you have an option of going to the other pool. The entrance of the hotel was gorgeous! There's a bar by the entrance and off to the side of the main pool. We arrived two hours early and they let us check in no problem, just had to wait a few minutes. They also let us request a room on the second level with a balcony on top of that! Parking is $10 a night in their lot or right across the road you can park your car in the public parking lot for free. The room was very clean. Hallway smelled a little weird... not sure if it was just stuffy in there or if it was from cleaning aids, maybe both. All in all though, will definitely be staying here whenever I am down in San Diego again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=liWIhc9JAOmqVpGaVienBw)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Lily G.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=5qOzTbuj06DCH6FvN1-TGg) Just updating my review. Once again - an amazing place to stay at in the summer of 2019. Fantastic service at the front desk, great attention to detail, and a truly amazing location for the price. Second visit was even better than the first. It's my new favorite getaway in this area of SD. Keep up the fantastic work!!     Love love loved my stay here! I wish I could remember the gal's name that checked me in; her customer service skills were stellar, and check-in was so smooth. Wish more hotels had employees like her! Very friendly staff, conveniently located to downtown San Diego, Point Loma, etc. and the views were just beautiful. I was surrounded on both sides by the bay and boats It made for a very peaceful walk at night and in the early morning. The room was also beautiful. I had been looking forward to a good night's sleep after a long week, and boy, did I get some! The bed was extremely comfortable, TV was HUGE, and shower/bath were very clean. I did try the restaurant, and the waitress was also very sweet (and had the patience of a saint dealing with an ornery customer). Had the California Benedict (yummy!) for breakfast. Please note that there is NO free continental breakfast for guests, but the choices at the restaurant weren't bad (just wish they had a bit more healthier fare to choose from). I also tried the fitness room (I know, plenty of things to do for fitness in/around SD, but it was HOT outside!). It was serviceable; however, the TV was not working and there was no option to turn it on/change channels. Free and fast wifi worked all around the resort. This was one of the best stays I've had in San Diego, and I can count this hotel to be one of my main go-to's when I return. Thank you, Best Western Palms! - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=p0FpQ67F3jVD1Oy4AS4nOw)",

This is what we got: A handicap room ( we are not handicap) facing the marina right next to the pool with polynesian dancers and very loud music and noise from the people visiting the pool. When I called the front desk Brianna or some women said they don't care about the room being used by non handicap guests. She also said there was nothing they could do to fix the problem . We have been coming here for years as our son is the navy and are very very disappointed. Room #133     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=3uIbjTG8v9yTrMX4B6HHNA)",

Close to everything, but still able to step back and relax. They have two pools which are great size, one even right on the marina! Shelter Island is a great place to walk around for sunset or a morning stroll. There's tons of great restaurants within walking distance, and the restaurant on property looked like it had amazing food as well. The room itself looked like it had just been renovated and was very clean. We had a bay view and enjoyed sitting out on the balcony in the morning drinking coffee. The beds were very comfy and the room was spacious. A perfect hotel for either a staycation or for people visiting.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. The view from our patio was so peaceful. It's fun to watch the marina activity, while sipping on a glass of wine. There are 2 pools to choose from. You have your choice of both covered or building side parking and we never had an issue with the gate functioning properly. Easy in and easy out. The King marina view room was very clean, large and quiet. We never heard a peep out of our neighbors and the blackout shade for the morning sun was fantastic. The good sized shower, mini fridge, comfortable bed, and microwave make this my new #1 place to stay on Shelter Island.       - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=QX4197b41X4oAS9Hx_k2xA)",

We had a marina view room with a small sitting area outside. Wonderful views of the harbor full of boats and we were only steps away from the boardwalk. You could also cross the street to the bay side of the island for amazing views of downtown San Diego across the bay. The pools are lovely, with a glass fence so you can see the harbor from the pool. I highly recommend this resort if you want a relaxing vacation. It is also the most affordable option in the area. Shelter Island is quiet and peaceful, even on the weekends in the summer. Another plus is; if they have a room ready, you may be able to check in early. If you want peace and quiet, choose a harbor facing view. You are right on the water. The bay views are across a parking lot and a street. You can always take a nice stroll on the bay side during your stay. Make sure you take a walk at night to see the skyline all lit up. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=80QnGenk7NCwPiUVpTRafg)",

We looked at different venues with accommodating views and menus, the room settings, etc...and went with Samantha here at Island Palms. We had sent emails out to 5 places for information and Samantha was the first one to respond right away. BTW-it took over 24 hours for the rest of the places to contact us, a couple of them took about a week. When you are planning an event in less than 3 weeks, you need someone to respond quickly. We planned breakfast, lunch and snack. They gave us the large room downstairs and it was split in 2 for classroom style then the luncheon area. It was great. We did an italian buffet and the food was DELICIOUS!!! And SO MUCH of it too!! Every little adjustment I asked them to do, whether it was move a table, or adjust the A/C, or extra chairs-never did they make me feel like I was inconveniencing them! The staff was courteous and professional and extremely attentive!! We will definitely be having more events here in the future. Great staff and great food!!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=_rPQyby4AaKch-fH8yocwQ)",

Well, this hotel was all that. Arrived at 2 PM and was given an option to check in early with no fee with a room facing south which is over the parking lot facing the water. I opted out because its much more of a busy view. Cars driving by, people getting in and out the car etc.. We waited till 4 PM and checked in and had a room facing north. This beautiful view is of nothing but docked boats. The most peaceful experience from our patio. We spent evenings on our patio drinking wine and enjoying peace. The room was not bad. T.V. was decent and bed was comfortable, but the reason for 4 stars was the stained lamp shade that was hard to ignore, the peeling wall paper in the bathroom and small mold sighting in the shower. I feel like house keeping isnt reporting these type of things to management so it can be corrected. The hotel was great other than that. There are 2 pools. The main pool near check in seems alot more busier than the pool at the other end of the hotel. The view from the pool is nice and relaxing. Customer service is great!!! There is a small restaurant that has daily happy hour and we were there every day for the good drinks and the good wings. We rented bikes for free from the hotel. Bikes are limited for rental so get there early. Nice area to ride bikes. We walked across the street and sat on benches and watched boats pass. People are having bbqs in that area also. This area of Point Loma was relaxing and my family had a great time I will be back because the overall experience outweighs the things I mentioned that need to be repaired. This place is nice and I hope they keep the aesthetics up.

Right across the street from the beach. Which makes it easy not to stay in the room but at some point you have to go to sleep. Stay: Not so much. The rooms are dingy, dirty and apparently housekeeping feels the same way by the leave behinds in our room (see pics below); astounding! Bed: Uncomfortable. It's so old it sagged in the center of the bed. You know it's time for a new bed when you wake up every day with a lower back pain... Neighbors: We were there for 3 nights. On our last night, it was a Monday night no less, our neighbors next to us decide to party at 9:30pm. Which I know it seems early to be making a complaint call however it's: MONDAY!!!! We call the front desk, they say they will send security, and wouldn't you know they actually did! The reason we know this is our neighbors got louder, I mean they turned it up to pure Studidness, which included their kids! Profanity, was had by all around, it was on. We called Front Desk again and they told my Groom that when Security confronted these lovely people they said and I quote: "Well, we're filing a complaint with Management for not allowing us to make noise." I don't know why the Front Desk felt it necessary to tell us that, perhaps they were feeling upset and needed an allie? Either way, they indicated if these folks didn't stop by 10pm then they would ask them to pack up and leave. Cool, however we had to be up at 4am to get on a plane to travel home to Quebec. Really a Bummer stay.

First off, the views of the marina are amazing, but we didn't really get to enjoy much of it since our room was right in the middle, with the only window facing the staircase. Shutter blinds are either on or off with no curtains which means the choice is of either no privacy or no sunlight at all. The room we were put in was ultra small and dated, clearly made to fit one bed, not two. The bathroom was almost as large as the room itself, with a modern frameless shower cabin which was about the only Plus amenity in the room. However, the wallpaper is coming off and the door looks old. The air conditioner was also too small to keep the room comfortable at night. The staff we interacted with was nice, but we were told right at check-in that there won't be any housekeeping and to ask for anything extra. The restaurant on site which we were given coupons for, is average and overpriced. Even with $20 off, the breakfast for 2 adults and 1 child was about $45. Another low point is the charge of $25/night for parking, which we were not even told about at check-in. On a Saturday night there was nowhere to park, so the hotel employees said to park across the street (free harbor parking), and ask the front desk for refund. Giving $25 back is really not worth the inconvenience of parking next to homeless people living in their vehicles. Even refunding the whole 3 night parking might not be enough, but at least it would show some effort. Considering the hotel size and multiple buildings, I'm sure many folks had a better experience here, as I noticed some other rooms were larger, much nicer and had a balcony with a view. Guess this hotel saves those rooms for guest who pay more, while the travelers like myself who book the Government Rate get the smallest, crappiest rooms. I guess $200 a night does not get you a whole lot here. As this is the second Best Western in Point Loma that did not deliver, I'm officially done with the brand, at least in San Diego. There should be some quality control to ensure that all the guests are treated the same and not just the ones who pay the full rate for one of the nicer rooms. Needless to say, I won't be coming back, though I loved the location.

Upon arriving, he patiently and thoroughly explained the hotel amenities, breakfast hours, directions to our room, etc. And, to our surprise, he saw the request we made when we made our reservation and already took care of it. His helpfulness did not end there. We need to stay for an extra day and made another reservation online. Usually, we need to wait for the two reservations to be combined. But, with Danny, it is a very smooth experience. By the time we reached the lobby, he is already looking for us, having reservations already combined and new room keys ready. Danny always goes above and beyond servicing the customers. If you stay at Best Western Plus Island Palms Hotel & Marina, you will feel his friendliness and professionalism.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=kyovzbdz8qO8bdfZp8qlOQ)",

I always spend the extra couple bucks to get the marina view, it is so pretty and relaxing. Customer service is top notch here, nice pool and restaurant/bar. My only complaint is that they ran out of regular coffee for the rooms, there was only decaf in mine. Does anyone even drink decaf anymore? lol     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Cpp0rG-2vVZYJQVTqjlG4w)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Blair V.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=019QKaEcHdgmN6dIgpNrsQ) I've been here for a little more than two weeks, in the Casa side. My room is awesome! The bed is ultra clean and comfortable, the chair at the desk is also comfortable, and the bathroom is huge, I have a great view of the pool area, and the entrance is about 10 feet away from my rooms back door. The only qualm I have with this room is that there is no microwave, and with staying here for sooo long sometimes you just want to nuke some leftovers or even a hot pocket instead of eating out. As for locations...awesome! I myself enjoy Ocean Beach and this spot is centrally located to where I have to work and where I like to play. The ladies that clean my room are great. I don't have it cleaned everyday, but if I happen to run into them they always offer more towels or coffee, and ask if I need anything. They are great. They are also the only ones I've had dealings with that make me feel welcome here. Soo, room is nice, location is nice. Why only 4 stars...the room key...that damn room key. I came back from work, hot, tired, and covered in grease only to find my key card would not let me in...fine, ok. So I made the long treck down to the front office and asked the lady at the front desk to fix my key. I've never felt so un-welcomed before and maybe it was the shock of seeing a grubby lady in her snooty hotel. Whatever the case maybe she attempted to fix my original key card and instructed me to keep it away from my cell phone as it could be the cause as to why the card didn't work. Well, I knew my key card hadn't been near my phone, but whatever. I got my key and walked back to the Casa side...only to find I STILL COULD NOT GET IN! Now I was super angry, I walked back and told the lady at the front desk it still didn't work and that I wanted a new key card, again she "fixed" the original...she also asked how long I was to be staying here...till August 26th I told her but with the way things were going with the damn key card I didn't know if I would continue my stay. I eventually was able to get into my room, my key works when it wants to, usually after getting put in the slot a good dozen times and a few choice swear words. A couple days ago I again couldn't get in my room but this time I called the front desk and they sent someone down with new keys. So minus 1/2 star for snooty front desk lady and 1/2 star for crappy room key.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=MoEGCq7B-6KLyPmzXugifg)",

It is a bit confusing because if you don't notice, The Island Palms and BestWestern sign is together but you will mostly only see "Island Palms" and therefore if you are like me, you might pass right by it. They charge $25 per day for vehicles unless you are a rewards member and get special benefits for free parking. The office offers complimentary coffee inside between specific hours (says until 10 am but went a little later and still available), which could be a bit of a wait, depending on the time you go there. Sooo delicious though! Latte, cappuccino, or regular coffee. They have flavored fresh fruit water available as well. I believe I saw 2 restaurants and 2 different pool areas. The big one is mostly for kids! The smaller one seemed more like a chill relaxing nonchild pool. An unspoken feeling. Some rooms offer marina side outdoor patio/grass area. The couch folds out to a bed, and it is an older style very thing mattress bed. The suite had a full kitchen with all dishes provided. Your own coffee maker and a dorm size fridge. Was a nice staycation with family. I enjoyed the time with family, I didn't even get a chance to take pictures. Sometimes, those are the best memories.      - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Hb1Fo3sv4Ea4JAckszsOYA)",

I was really upset as they messed up on two of the ten rooms I had reserved. But after discussing the problem with the manager, and a deserved refund, we worked it out and now I am satisfied. I would recommend this beautiful resort to anyone.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Ph-nx6CseISCsqsUbe4R3w)",

We loved staying here and had so much fun exploring the area. The room was very comfortable and we felt at home here. The restaurant was closed at the time, but there are lots of dining options nearby and also we were able to get Doordash delivery. Although we have stayed at many hotels in the area since, this hotel always brings back good memories of a fun weekend.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=y5-AG8dyK2ckZtxPMw7ZCw)",

Unfortunately it appears that the the pool area is filled with employee families during the summer months. My experience is that they take over the pool area and turn it into a daycare swimming lesson. I have had to navigate Nasty diaper's left behind. This takes the place down a few notches. Also, the lunch menu and food items suffered when the cook went elsewhere. So, if you do not care about the pool or the restaurant, have at it.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=gRPQ5NUsy5Ff08jjD8Pm9g)",

I travel at least twice a month for business and ALWAYS stay at Best Western properties. Experiences are consistently good, and staff friendly and competent. This property-NOT THE CASE. I booked a room that was supposed to be a marina view. Because I travel so frequently, I had some points that I was looking forward to using on this visit. My original reservation said I would be using. 32000 points. I called way ahead of time in the morning before arrival and spoke to a front desk person named Rose. I confirmed that the room I was staying in was a marina roomZ it was my husbands and my Anniversary Celebration and I wanted everything to go smoothly. Rose confirmed that in fact, we are we're in that "type of room" -a Marina View. When my husband arrived they put us in a regular room so needless to say I had to call the front desk and ask what happened. I then spoke to an Anette and she told me that the manager would get back to me and that it would be rectified and not to worry. A manager never got back to me so I had to call again in which I was told to speak to a 1-800 Best western number. They transferred me to a number that was not the fact that number and by time I was done I was transferred 4x's!!! On top of all of this, it was our wedding anniversary and I told each front desk person I spoke to that I really didn't want to be spending my time battling on this special weekend. . Who wants to spend time arguing over something like this on their anniversary???. I finally went to the front desk and spoke to a manager NAWAF who you would've thought would have rectify the situation but instead he said he would also get back with me and just go back to my room and relax. I explained I would if I was in the right room that I booked. In the end I had to go back to the front desk once again and finally get on the phone with Best Western customer care where I was finally treated with respect and acknowledged. They then spoke Nawaf who then finally changed us to the correct room. BUT only after I spent 2-1/2 after arrival battling with his staff and him AND after charging me 70,000 points not 32,000 as what was originally booked. He pretended to have nothing to do with changing the points but when I spoke to Customer Care with Best Western they assured me I should not have gone through all that and that the manager could have in fact made the call on my behalf and handled all of this for me without changing the points. When all is said and done The lady from Customer care took care of everything not the manager and my original booking was reinstated for the points I was told I would spend. will never stay at this resort again unfortunately. The front desk knew it was a celebration weekend and they also knew that I had been battling this for over 2 1/2 hours and that I am a frequent Best Western loyalty member. All of that was ignored for the sake of them earning the right amount of points instead of acknowledging me as a loyal member. I would definitely be weary if you are trying to use points on this property but even more so I would be concerned about the treatment you will get from the staff and manager at this hotel even if you were just coming to stay on your own.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=hUfk7qiuQTCGx0mupDHAIg)",

Think about everything that comes to mind when you think of the Best Western chain of hotels. Are you there yet? Good. Now forget that. Seriously, forget it. This particular Best Western is a resort guys. And it's a bargain, to boot! I booked this hotel on a whim and I wish that I'd have stayed here for the entire time I was in San Diego. Picture this...traveling across the country with a five year old. A four and a half plane ride plus a two hour time difference? Not a walk in the park. I land at the San Diego airport...free shuttle to the hotel. Nice. Upon checking in they upgraded my room for no extra charge and I didn't even have to ask. Very nice. The onsite restaurant was closing in thirty minutes and the sweet girl at the front desk offered to keep our luggage so that I could feed the crazy five year old who was attempting to ruin my vacation ;) Again, so very nice. Then the room. Ahhhh. The bed, the pillows, the very sexy shower. Oh my. When I was checking out the next day that crazy five year old tagging along with me was entranced with the koi pond in the lobby. I, of course, was worried about her falling in. The sweet guy behind the front desk, however, gave her a few pennies to toss in and make wishes. Need I say more? 5 stars all the way!

Overall the hotel was nice . Just didn't expect to get a whole different bill 2 weeks later of an extra $300. When I checked out it was $670 total . Then today they changed. I booked an extra day and the price was lower than I paid for the weekend but they charged me higher rates for a week day than what they posted on their site . So today I got a new much more expensive bill . Night manger said your welcome .. the hotel was nice. Not amazing but nice . I won't be booking again .

Clean rooms, friendly staff, heated pool and spa, bar/restaurant, and walking distance from the Shelter Island beach. Depending on your choice of room the views are great. They have a simple room with all your basics. A junior suite with some upgrades. A full suite, which includes a full kitchen, two queen beds in the bedroom, a queen hide a bed in the living room, spacious bathroom, and a private patio outside. There are a couple of good breakfast places, an awesome sushi place, a good Mexican restaurant, all within a mile of the hotel.

Right down from Humphrey's By The Bay is a plus due to their music venue. Walking paths and access is also a plus. The hotel itself is maintained, but nothing to reach the price they ask, (a bit old school/dated). I've had better with less view with other BW locations. I was told up front about the parking fee, but chose to use street parking, BUT upon receiving the bill even after stating that I would not be using their lot, they charged me the $25.00 fee. If I had not noticed (nudge), it would've stayed on the bill. Think about all those who don't review their receipts! $$$$ The staff was pleasant to work with but needed nudging to offer anything extra such as bottled water. The room was clean, the linen clean, everything worked as expected. No bell and whistles, but .... I chose the breakfast package, had to ask the counter staff (another nudge) for the vouchers. It was overlooked. Don't bother with their breakfast packages, nothing to write home about; frozen homestyle potatoes that were dry and tasted of salt, omelet dry and over cooked, coffee was not included in the price, menu was like any other coffee shop type restaurant with a few specials. Liked that they offered happy hour w/decent prices, but did not entertain that. Other Best Western hotels offer complimentary breakfast with the same type potatoes (not over cooked). The breakfast was to be included, again we were charged extra for anything beyond $17.00 per person/meal off the menu. We ended up paying an extra $20.00, due to the surcharge, taxes, coffee, and the 15% gratuity that was added. Breakfast was overpriced and just not that good! I would not recommend this hotel as a first choice, due to the pricing, the nudging, and little to offer for the expense.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=8ZryN_S-n48g6rsa3W3QtQ)",

Bumped up to 5 stars because of GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE and reply. Again, lovely location and very relaxing hotel. I will test the customer service again to ensure that it was thoroughly acknowledged. If you want to stay at a beautiful, economical, relaxing hotel; GIVE BEST WESTERN ISLAND PALMS, San Diego a chance. Overall, I'm sure you will not be disappointed.     I WAS EXPECTING A CHEAP ASS BEST WESTERN, but because I wanted a view oh so badly- and all the hotels were book for spring break- this hotel was surprisingly great! Our room was beautiful, we paid $50 upgrade for the view of a damn dock and bay- but it was gorgeous! I knocked off a couple stars for the rude front desk that took foreverrrrr to send the hair comb. The pool and jacuzzi is open 24 hours, and there are about 2 onsite. I stayed at the newer buildings. Nice resort feel. Location was nice, VERY close to everything. I heard a lot about Shelter and was expecting so much more. But everything was nice overall- NOT GREAT THOUGH. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7Irxcum16W9yncpU_Wxxeg)",

I went to San Diego for a work trip. The front desk were very nice and greeted us warmly. The rooms were very clean and I had an amazing view of the harbor. You can sit on your balcony and enjoy the view. I had an awesome 1 bedroom suite with a pull out couch. It was very quite and peaceful. I would stay there again!!

I absolutely loved the location. Our room was amazing. There were 2 pools so we basically had a pool to ourselves with a view of the Marina. My son enjoyed the playground across the street. I've never been to Hawaii but I imagine it's the same vibe. Love love love!

Considering the "sheltered" quiet location of the Island Palms, the great rate we got is awesome. The lady who took our reservation was extremely nice and did her best to earn our business. When we received our emailed confirmation, I glanced at it, but later noticed that we had two queen beds, not the king and sofa we'd asked for. Though I called twice to rectify the error, I was told there were not any king jr. suites available. Upon arriving though, Alison was able to find us what we wanted in the first place, for one night, then upgraded us at no extra charge for a much larger suite! She knows how to handle such situations for repeat business! Danny, the day manager greeted us with cheerful courtesy and moved our things for us when we were out enjoying SD. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a safe haven to stay, when visiting this metropolis.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=SKC8gpRwiOfHVKheD3tCpw)",

So 4 seemed fair. 1\. The room service cheeseburger, which I'm sure is the same as in their restaurant was garbage. We ate in their restaurant for breakfast and it was average. 2\. We booked a room that was to face the bay, LOL well it did face the bay, but we couldn't see it because we were on the first floor and there were shrubs blocking our view. Oh well. Live and Learn. 3\. Our patio which ended up being on the first floor, connects to other peoples patios and you can get to the glass patio door from the outside. We were concerned about safety, but it was a non issue, area seemed very safe. I would stay their again, price is right, lots of restaurants and nice places to walk nearby. Area is quiet. Staff is pleasant. Room was very nice, comfy bed, lots of room, nice and clean, everything worked properly.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Heather N.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=_U6YPEDJTfIKO4zQCH7f7Q) This hotel used to get 5 stars from me until one incident. I've stayed here numerous times and do love the view from both the front and back of the hotel (the marina is my favorite). The rooms have always been clean and the staff has always been friendly. One day, the cleaning staff walked in on my ex and I (the top latch was locked, the bottom wasn't). There was a Do Not Disturb sign on the door, they didn't knock, AND we weren't due to check out for 2 more days, the man just opened the door and tried to walk in. They comped ONE night. I won't be going back, as much as I love the location. Not until I'm assured that their staff will be better trained at doing their jobs. It's funny looking back, but that really could be a liability for the hotel.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Ck4vFI0itcqmNgqbBH-R4Q)",

When I went to check-in, I asked for any upgrades and they moved us to a king junior suite with a nice view of downtown. Wow. That was awesome! The room itself was spacious, clean, cozy.... we loved it. I'm just sayin'. They have two pools. The pool at the main building is bigger, but both look just as inviting on a nice, warm San Diego day. They also offer free bicycles so you can ride around Shelter Island. We didn't get any, but probably should have. Blue Wave is their restaurant on property and was delish. We only ate their breakfast though, so I can't speak for other meals. We'll go back again next time we head down to SD for a weekend or so.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=EV9Gal7EVRUPqwE6RBO67Q)",

The hotel was full and they were only able to give us a room with 2 double beds---hardly romantic! The staff worked hard to get us a room with a King the 2nd night. Nice views of the water and nice area for walking. Close to restaurants, entertainment and Point Loma. Room 2nd night was spacious, clean and comfortable. First night the room was small and nothing fancy. Not overall impressed. No free breakfast but good price for the area.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=z81YK3CXQJb48BU7ZAcf7A)",

This thing started beeping at 3:35 AM. I have insomnia, so I unplugged it before I went to sleep just in case because I know if it goes off, I will not go back to sleep. I unplugged it and it still went off. So, I'm up bright and early and can start enjoying the crappy day I'm going to have on 4.25 hours of sleep. My sister and I sat at the Blue Wave, which overlooks the pool. Quite lovely until some trashy mother started screaming at a very small toddler in the pool, smacked him, he's crying hysterically, mom's screaming. I was AWFUL and extremely triggering for me. I did alert the security guard. Did it occur to this person posing as an actual parent that a patio full of people were enjoying a cocktail and the lovely scenery? Apparently, didn't cross her mind. She was really loud. Seeing such a small child treated like this really but an ugly pallor on the evening. Grounds here are lovely. Just know if you stay here, unplugging this thing will not eliminate the possibility of it going off at 3:35 AM. I was thinking I could start my day, since I know I won't go back to sleep, but, alas, no Keurig. If I ever stay here again, I will walk this device of torture to the front desk upon checking into my room. This is about my 7th stay here. Again, grounds are lovely. Other than witnesses a physical assault on a very small toddler and being woken up at 3:35, it's been lovely. So glad I'll be refreshed when I meet with family later today. Appreciate some people function just fine on a few hours sleep.       A few problems at the hotel during the stay. Communication with management difficult. I love this location. I would appreciate communication from someone from the hotel. Room was nice and spacious. The view was lovely and the location excellent. The surrounding area has much to offer. My only complaint is the television. There is only cable and the remote is impossible to use. The hotel needs to upgrade their televisions in order to compete with other hotels. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=LMQCNc7vH466JPTKQLvD1g)",

The location is fantastic. Shelter Island is convenient to downtown/Gaslamp, Point Loma, and main thoroughfares and freeways. Plus, it offers great views! We stayed in one of the hotel's new buildings and our room overlooked the beautiful Kona Marina and Point Loma homes in the distance. Standing on the terrace taking in the salt water was such a great way to start the day! Our room was brand new, so it was fabulously fresh and nice with a large flat screen TV, comfortable beds and sheets, and a spacious bathroom. I've stayed in many nice resort hotels in the Loews and W chains and this room certainly rivaled those, it felt like a 4, maybe even 4 1/2 star room. I didn't look inside any of the rooms in the older parts of the hotel, but from the outside, they looked to be nice. The hotel is laid out like a resort with a number of out-buildings, tennis courts, a lounge, a nice fitness facility, walking paths, and two pools. One of the pools is quieter and smaller and was used by mostly adults and the other pool was more lively and was frequented by families and those who wanted to order drinks poolside. We tried both pools, both were heated, sparkling clean, and the pool areas were nicely laid out. I prefered the quieter, smaller pool, since I enjoy sunning and don't have kids. One of the few (and I had hardly any) complaints about my stay was that a couple of times kids were running around the smaller pool, which was normally very quiet, and I had wished they'd head over to the more family friendly pool. Perhaps the Island Palms would consider making the smaller pool an 18 and over spot and the larger pool all ages? Also, the hottubs were quite crowded at night. Understandable for a busy, sought after hotel, but adding additional hottubs or larger ones might be a good investment for the future. We enjoyed the free parking and never had difficulty finding a space. Hotel staff let us know that sometimes parking is tight at night, but that even in that case, the port owned parking lots across the street are free and open for overnight parking. Perfect ,since renting a car is a must if you want to see many parts of San Diego during your stay, it's not really a public transit accessible city. We ate at some nearby fish houses and greasy spoon breakfast joints, it was great, definitely felt there is a Shelter Island sense of community combining weekend boaters and those who work in the boat trades. We also ate lunch at the hotel restaurant and had drinks and appetizers at the lounge. The service and quality were good but not outstanding. The convenience was fantastic. I believe a continental breakfast was offered to guests as well, but we didn't take advantage. As I said, our room was very comfortable, but the walls were not particularly thick. One morning we were awoken by loud people at the marina and in the hotel hallway. It was spring break at many schools the week we stayed, so maybe that accounted for some of the activity? It was, however, very quiet at night, we were able to sleep soundly. We were also very impressed by the security presence. We frequently saw friendly and courteous (but not imposing) security guards walking the grounds, so I'm confident that if there had been excessive night time noise, the problem would have been dealt with. In terms of activities, it's wonderful that Shelter Island is convenient to a number of San Diego tourist attractions (at least by car), but there were also activities right there on the island. The beach park run by the port authority had sculptures and other public works of art, historic markers, a great view of Coronado Island, and good sitting beaches and picnic areas. There was a local arts market on Saturday and Sunday as well. The hotel offered free beach cruiser rentals, which we didn't have time to take advantage of, but they would have been great for exploring the island. We did see the beach cruises however, and they were brand new, high-end bicycles. For the sake of writing a fully comprehensive review, one of the hotel vending machines did eat our money, but minus that kind of minutae and the couple other small items I mentioned above, it was darn close to a perfect stay! All that for incredibily reasonable rates! We were certainly impressed and would recommend this hotel to anyone--couples, singles, kids, old, young, you name it, this place has wide appeal. Thank you Island Palms management and staff!

"traverse:reviewText": "[PJ C.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=K1rq2vtUmwxs8GWZPF8XeA) When looking for a place to stay in San Diego we had stayed near Shelter Island in the past but not on Shelter Island. This hotel had good reviews and the prices were OK and we liked this location. One problem is there are so many types of rooms when looking online and it is unclear on really what view you are going to get. Once there I understood the issue - this place is cobbled together from what must have been two or three different hotels over the years. Some rooms face the parking lot and I can see those being called rooms with a "view" since you might be able to see downtown. There are also rooms that face inner walkways and even a loading dock... So beware when booking. Anyway we opted for a marina view room which was in the main building but with a first floor obstructed view of the marina. It was good enough. The room was a good size with a frig, microwave and coffee maker. The bathroom was large and with the best water pressure of our entire trip in the west. Impressive for California. There are two pools but we used neither. Unlike most Best Westerns breakfast is not included. If you want to save the $25/day parking fee you can park across the street in the beach parking lot. There are no restrictions and the lot is as close as most hotel parking lots. You can unload your luggage and then zip across the street. Easy. Overall a nice place to stay if you can figure out the room selection!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=oTcljfx7vA-Qi3XMr3KTHA)",

Overall, the room that I stayed in was very nice! It was a suite and everything was really comfortable and modern looking. Even though our primary view was of the parking lot/bay I still think this was a very nice room, quiet (but not too quiet), and very nice for a Best Western hotel. The bathroom was amazing, as it had so much space and a very interesting shower :) As far as the wedding ceremony & reception, we got a great deal for the food & beverage minimums and the staff, especially Rachael, were amazing with making the day perfect! If we move away from San Diego and need somewhere to stay when we come back and visit, the Island Palms would definitely be one of my first choices!        - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Mw21Pygy_VdsnYzrIiDb5A)",

Very accommodating. Beautiful marina on one side and the harbor on the other side Quiet and close to a lot of attractions. Clinton at the front desk was very quick to refill th coffee maker. And other front desk staff helped get someone to clean my room when I forgot the dnd sign up during the day. Def recommend this place. And economical for the location for sure.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Craig M.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=qlbuyvSwYT-8o2r8VhK22A) This is a lovely property situated in Point Loma with access to multiple walking paths. The property appears to maintained well, with signs of aging being addressed as needed. However if you are ever offered a room anywhere near the pool, ask for a different location or CANCEL YOUR RESERVATION AND HEAD HOME. Hands down the WORST experience staying at a hotel in the San Diego area and I've stayed at a very wide range of hotels. The pool is open until 11pm and there is no chance of "Quiet hours" being observed anywhere on property. I happened to be walking back to my room when I happened to walk by a staff member. I asked about the activity near the pool. I was advised that it was normal and is typically allowed until well past the pool closing time. As I generate this review, I am staying on property with 15-20 unaccompanied minors playing loud music, yelling and screaming at 1030 pm. Secondly, housekeeping is a bit behind in servicing rooms here. At 9am the housekeeping manager, knocked on our door and asked if we would need our room cleaned. Since we were in the process of getting ready to leave, I advised her that we would like our room cleaned and we would be leaving the room in just a little while. She marked us down on her list, stated ok they would be back shortly. When we left, the room on the opposite side of the hallway was being turned over, so we expected that our would easily be handled when we left at 10am. Uncommon return at 630pm the room was discovered untouched. Very disappointing stay. With multiple lodging options in the area, we will likely try a new location next time.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=uMroWplok2UJXRrycn3PaQ)",

We were given a handicap room (which had a large bathroom) and was in the single story section of the hotel so no one was above us. Staff was friendly and very helpful; even recommending restaurants other than the one in the hotel.

The property in general is beautiful and water front on bith sides of hotel so it was great. Coincidentally we mentioned we were looking for rooms for our upcoming wedding and was offered options for rehearsal dinner. Prices were feasible so we booked our rehearsal dinner for 26 people and went with 5 rooms. It was easy, property and room worked great for us. Beds comfy. Amazing view for our wedding photos with our wedding party. The rehearsal dinner....food was amazing!!!! The bbq ribs specifically and the apple turnovers! Amazing. Our attendant during the rehearsal dinner was attentive, polite and overall made it a great experience. Our rehearsal dinner was booked for 2/20/2026 (cannot remember the server's name) Maria Palestini was also amazing in helping finalize everything for the dinner as well.

I would not hesitate to stay here again.

It was a quiet, secure and comfortable place to stay. Had dinner at the Blue Wave restaurant upstairs in the lobby and the food was so good!!! I got a ribeye with potatoes and it was delicious. Hubby got Tortilla soup that he very much enjoyed. We split a berry/ pineapple upside down cake, sooo good! Afterwards you can walk along the bay off Shelter Island on the same walkway that goes all the way to downtown San Diego. This place is close to the airport so convenient if you are flying there. We found no downside to the place and would definitely go again.

Loved walking out of our room and directly across to the park which stretches the length of the island. Beautiful views of the bay, and people were so friendly! For the price, this really was a very good choice. The thing that could be improved or was less than amazing was the size of our room (2 queens). You open the door and walk directly into a bed. There is limited space for luggage or people. Accessing the closet was difficult also. The bathroom size almost made up for it though. Note: The location is directly across the bay from a naval station. Our first night they had aircraft taking off every little bit for about 2 hours. It was not just loud, it was rattle your bones, burst your eardrums, loud. Not a complaint for the hotel at all. I could have done with a warning though, so passing it on.

Super easy short drive to Little Italy./old town/Coronado and the gas lamp District. This property has a charming old 50's throwback vibe. We had a suite that overlooked the marina harbor with a little balcony. Out front, you could see Navy ships go by along with other boats in the harbor. And there is wonderful options for walking in the mornings along the water and by the boats. Our suite room could've benefited from a small dining room table, and the mattress was definitely on its last legs, but still comfortable. We loved this property mainly based on proximity to everything this part of San Diego has to offer . We also love the retro vibe !

From the moment I called to ask about early check-in, every single person I encountered went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. My husband and I travel often and stay at many hotels, but this was truly the best experience we’ve ever had. I especially want to thank Clinton, who took extra measures to ensure everything was perfect for us. He even came outside to personally help me with the bike rental app — who does that anymore? His kindness and professionalism set the tone for our entire stay. The front desk staff, especially Alex, was exceptional as well— so welcoming and attentive. And at the Blue Wave bar and grill Restaurant, Eugene and Z provided such friendly and thoughtful service that every meal felt special. Plus, the food was incredible! I can’t say enough about how valued I felt as a guest. It truly seemed as though I was their most important customer — though I’m sure everyone is treated with the same care and warmth. Because of this incredible experience, I won’t stay anywhere else when visiting San Diego.

"traverse:narrative:competitiveQuoteAnalysis": "Competitive quote analysis examines the review language that guests use when explicitly or implicitly comparing Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina to alternative properties — the direct evidence of how the property is positioned in the guest's mind relative to its competitive set.

"traverse:narrative:revenueOptimization": "Revenue optimization at Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina extends beyond room rate management to encompass the full spectrum of revenue-generating touchpoints: F&B spending, spa services, activity fees, parking charges, resort fees, and the ancillary revenue that accumulates when guests are engaged and spending on-property rather than seeking off-property alternatives. The N/A-room inventory creates specific revenue dynamics: at 100% occupancy, the room revenue ceiling is defined by ADR × N/A; revenue above that ceiling comes exclusively from ancillary spending per occupied room. The most significant revenue optimization opportunities typically lie in increasing ancillary spend per guest night rather than in rate increases that risk competitive displacement.

"traverse:narrative:photographyRecommendations": "Photography recommendations for Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina address the gaps between the current image library (0 images across 0 categories) and the comprehensive visual narrative needed for optimal booking conversion across all distribution platforms. Critical category gaps that should be prioritized for new photography: room interior, exterior, lobby, pool, dining, bathroom, grounds, aerial, activities, spa. These missing visual categories represent blind spots in the property's online presentation where prospective guests cannot visually assess what the property offers, leading to booking hesitation or abandonment. Key photography priorities include: room interior photography showing current condition and design (updated annually to reflect renovations), lifestyle photography showing guests enjoying amenities (with appropriate permissions), golden-hour exterior photography that captures the property's most flattering lighting, detail photography that highlights design elements and quality markers, and aerial/drone photography that provides context for the property's location and spatial layout. For small independent properties especially, a comprehensive and high-quality image library is the single most impactful marketing investment — it levels the visual playing field against chain hotels that have corporate photography budgets and brand-mandated image standards.

"traverse:narrative:destinationOverview": "San Diego, California serves as both the geographic setting and the experiential context for the Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina guest experience. Destination quality is a foundational element of hotel success: even the best property in an unappealing destination will struggle, while a mediocre property in an exceptional destination can thrive on location alone. Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina's position within San Diego leverages the destination's inherent appeal while adding property-specific value that differentiates the stay experience from simply 'being in San Diego.' The destination's appeal encompasses natural environment (climate, geography, natural beauty), cultural offerings (dining, entertainment, arts), activity options (recreation, exploration, adventure), and the intangible 'destination feel' that makes travelers choose this location over alternatives. Anonymous on booking.com captured this dimension of the Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina experience: 'Nice location with spacious rooms and helpful staff.' This observation is reinforced by Cassandra's booking.com review, which noted: 'The location on San Diego by was exceptional. Watching the ships come in and out of port was fun. It was quiet at night and we felt very safe.' Additional evidence comes from Priscila (booking.com): 'Everything was very clean, beautiful, comfortable. It feels great to be this close to the water, wake up to the Marina, to the birds. The pool and hot tub were great.' Mcmurtrie on booking.com similarly described: 'Beautiful property, great location, comfortable, spacious room with back exit.' Faith on booking.com similarly described: 'Our suite was clean and the beds were comfortable. It was nice to sit out on the porch in the morning and look out towards the ocean.' Across the review corpus, location-related comments appear in 513 of 830 total reviews (61% mention rate), with 161 positive and 37 negative mentions. This high mention frequency indicates that location is a primary factor in guest satisfaction at Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina. In the San Diego, California market, Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices. The property competes for travelers who are evaluating multiple accommodation options in the area, and its destination characteristics play a significant role in the booking decision process. Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina's destination represents a durable competitive advantage that is difficult for competitors to replicate. This strength compounds over time through positive review generation, word-of-mouth referrals, and the loyalty-building effect of consistently meeting or exceeding guest expectations in this dimension. The property's investment in maintaining this standard signals ownership commitment to the guest experience and creates a virtuous cycle where positive experiences generate positive reviews that attract guests predisposed to appreciate what Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina offers."
