I needed a hotel in the San Diego area to have some business meetings. We had used a hotel on Shelter Island before and wanted to stay in the general area. I contacted the hotel and talked to Chris Bartholamew. He met me one afternoon and showed me around the facility. He was most accommadating. The facilities were exactly what... more

I had originally been to the Island Palms for business and stayed at the Island Palms for 10 days in January 2008 and found the Junior Suite to be very comfortable, the room service was excellent and the hotel restaurant had great food. The New York Steak was excellent! I recently returned to San Diego April 25, 26, 2008, and... more

The staff at this hotel were so nice that all that was missing was a Savannah Southern Accent and sweet tea or stronger. Man these people are nice. I was greeted by every single person with a "good Morning" "what a great day" "can I help you" by everyone from a gentleman driving a golf cart, to Eric at the... more

We spent the weekend at the hotel while my family visited the sights of San Diego. The hotel staff was very friendly. We traveled with 4 families 16 people total (7 children) The hotel was very child friendly. Each room had a kitchen which was great for breakfast. One day we had room service and it was priced good and... more

My wife and I stayed at the Island Palms for 3 nights while in town for our anniversary. We really liked the Shelter Island location as it was convenient to a lot of different attractions, yet was quiet and somewhat removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotel backs up to the Shelter Island Marina, with the... more

It was my choice to stay here on my special birthday. And I was not disappointed. The hotel is on a peninsula situated between the marina and the bay. The views are magnificent. The front desk was a bit artificial in their politeness, but helpful. The restaurant was tastefully decoreated, the service-people were "artificial" in their studied sentences but the... more

We finished a recent road trip at the Island Palms, and had a brilliant stay. The main consideration when looking for our San Diego hotel was parking and convenience as well as sea views, and we could hardly have chosen better. Our sea view was, in fact, a view of the bay and downtown on the other side, and we... more

We stayed at the Best Western Island Palms for a family vacation with our toddler. We had a promotional upgrade to a junior suite, which was great for us since it had a refrigerator and microwave, along with plates and utensils, very convenient for eating in the room. The staff were all very friendly and helpful -- the waitress at... more
