The restaurant and bar is also fine but there are more restaurants around the corner (our favourite is Bali Hai). Rooms are large and very nice. Staff has been... More

We stayed at this hotel for one week while vacationing in San Diego. It was a convenient and very quiet location. We stayed in a King Suite room with a Bay view. The room was very large. We had a living area with two chairs and sleeper couch with a queen bed. The full kitchen had a stove, microwave, large... More

We loved our stay at this hotel! Views from one side of the hotel are of the marina and from the other is the city of San Diego from across the bay. We stayed in a room with a Marina view. Highly recommended. It had a small patio out front overlooking the marina. Nice views out front. The room itself... More

I cant say enough good things about this place. We initially got a room without a view and once we got there we upgraded to another room with a view. It was painless and easy as apple pie. The staff here are friendly and eager to serve. I would definatley stay here again.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights while visiting San Diego with our twin 7 year-olds. We loved being on Shelter Island because at the end of the day, it gave us a nice, scenic place to spend some time. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the hotel pool. The views of the bay and harbor from the balcony are lovely.... More

The Best Western Island Palms is everything I hoped it would be. From the moment we checked in, we could tell that the staff is what makes this hotel one of the best. Danny and Matt at the front desk were super. Our room wasn't ready, but they checked us in, recommending the harbor view in the Casa Marina. They... More

This was a real gem on our trip down the west coast. I had seen good reviews concerning this hotel but I was still surprised at just how nice it was. The view of the harbour from our room was outstanding, and it was incredibly relaxing sitting outside watching the people walking along the footpath and the boats coming and... More
