Location is great - just a few minutes from the airport right on the Port of San Diego. The room was great - bed and pillows very comfortable - fantastic shower. We had a couple of drinks in the bar and enjoyed that as well. Will definitely stay again when in San Diego - if the price is right!

The view of the marina and the landscaping was beautiful. The hotel was nice and quiet with no traffic noise. The beds were comfortable and the tv was good.

Nice Marina view rooms on Shelter Island. I have stayed here several times over the years and always enjoy my stay. The parking is a bit limited which can be a problem sometimes. Staff is friendly and helpful!
