We have stayed here many times and always have a wonderful time. Great location, in the center of everything, views are amazing and the staff is excellent!
Fantastic location loved that we were walkable distance to all the sights and scenes! The staff got us checked in fine and glad they have a restaurant on site.
We moved to this hotel from a neighboring hotel that ended up being a disappointment (Humphrey’s). Stay here at the Best Western over that one!!! It’s way better! Beds are comfortable, beautiful views of the bay and the marina. Staff were all wonderful, friendly and helpful. Property is beautiful and clean. I will stay here every time I visit San Diego.
Great food at the on site restaurant- we ate there multiple times! And even better staff! Friendly, easygoing and responsive!

Perfect place for fishing, walking, running, good amenities and rooms are super big. Also the hotel is central around the most w
visited places in San Diego.
Shelter Island is one of our favorite places to stay in the San Diego area. It has a quiet, island-resort feel that makes it easy to relax and unwind. The rooms are spacious, and we especially appreciate that the air conditioning isn’t the typical loud single unit slapped into the wall. The rooms themselves are comfortable, although the property overall could benefit from some updating. That said, we have no real complaints and enjoyed our stay here.
The shower was really nice , actually the whole bathroom was really nice. We really liked the bed. Also it was very comfortable. The whole room was very clean and everything worked perfect perfectly. A very nice place to stay.!
Great place to stay for a family, great place to stay for a work trip, great place to stay with a couples trip to get away for a couple days. Staff is amazing, security and parking is great, restaurant is fresh and delicious, pools and hot tubs are great for kids and adults after dark. Nice views everywhere, nice walking path too, great local spots within walking distance or a short drive and most places nearby have ample parking too.
