What guests think

Many appreciate the quiet, walkable location near the airport and major sights, with paths, parks and a pier across the street. Rooms range from spacious suites with kitchens to tighter, older units; guests mention thin walls, loud A/C, and occasional musty odors. Amenities like bikes, pickleball courts, and the on-site Blue Wave restaurant are well liked, though responses for housekeeping or fixes can be slow. Expect scenic value with some age related trade offs.

Lovely property; enjoyed our very-clean room, patio and beautiful marina view! Pool and jacuzzi were wonderful (though some local urchins had to be prompted to leave, but security quickly took care of it). Water temps were perfect and towels were stocked. Enjoy walking all of Shelter Island and much of Point Loma! Great spot and an affordable property surrounded by comparable spendy ones. Final note (my particulars): Mattress 👍 Shower head strength/hot water 👍

The staff was great-our TV in our room continually had issues working and when called, maintenance arrived within minutes and fixed it quickly. The pool and hot tub area was clean, had plenty of seating and was larger than expected. Right across the street there was a small beach you could go to along with plenty of walking paths. I was very impressed with the quality of my stay given that it wasn’t the most expensive property out there.

Alexander at the front desk offers the highest level of customer service, not just this visit but every visit. We stay here at least 3 days, 3 times a year. It’s our happy place. Great pools for kids, restaurant ease of ordering by the pool. It’s our fave spot in SD. Alexander greets me every time with a smile & welcome back. Makes me feel at home, our home away from home,

As soon as I approached the front desk when I arrived I received a warm greeting from “Clinton” at the front desk. He instantly made me feel welcomed and check in was a breeze. We had a handicapped accessible room and it was conveniently located by the business area where there was an area to go to where you could sit and relax or get some work done on a computer. The fitness room was right there also. Our room overlooked the marina and the smaller pool and jacuzzi (there is a larger main pool closer to the lobby) but all we had to do was exit the back door and the entrance to the glass enclosed pool and jacuzzi were a few steps from our back door. It was very convenient and relaxing as there was patio furniture set up like an outdoor living room at each end with a couch and chairs. There was even a fire place for a cozy evening out by the pool if it got chilly. I was pleasantly surprised that they even provided towels for your use (just drop them in the dirty towel bin before you leave). I walked over to the main pool and saw that they had a grassy backyard looking area where you could play corn hole! The main pool area was beautiful. They have complimentary bikes, tennis and pickle ball courts too! I was pleasantly surprised by ALL of the amenities that were available! I live and work in Las Vegas so I’m a little spoiled but my stay here was top notch! This property is CLEAN and well maintained…on a scale of 1-10, I rate this property a 10. I’ll be back!!

The place was very unsanitary. It is in a quiet convenient place depending on where you are visiting. The carpet in the room was tirning our feet black just walking from the bathroom to the bed right after showering which was disgusting. It is very expensive to not have top tier cleanliness. The staff are not very helpful or kind. The pool *salt-water) and hot tub were nice. I would give it a 4 out of 10. Not the best experience for sure.

Upon entering the room there was a very strong musty smell. The A/C was on and i believe the mustyness was a dirty filter or A/C was too old and should be replaced. The refrigerator had ice build up on the door shelf and bottom shelf. The refrigerator was behind a cabinet door which was broken. The carpet was dirty and damp. Will not stay here again. Blue Wave and Grill food was very good and reasonable prices.

Sadly our smoke detector and phone didn’t work. Had to keep walking up to request items. No hotel toiletries until we asked. Pay $25 for hotel parking but if you come in after 10 you can’t find any. Bed was super uncomfortable and roaches found in bathroom. Beautiful area. Not staying here again.

I rated it low this time due to the poor customer service. The bed felt like I was on the springs of the bed and when I spoke to the front desk about it she said all their beds are the same. I told her that I stay there every time I am in San Diego and that wasn’t true. Better customer service skills are needed there as the girl didn’t know how to handle an issue.

We’ve stayed at the BW Island Palms on Shelter Island many times before while visiting San Diego. We choose this hotel for its unique marina view, ease of getting to different areas of SD, coastal island charm, beautiful grounds (pool is great!) and friendliness of hotel staff. This time, I didn’t find our visit as easy going as past visits. We booked a suite for 3 days, which lacked basic amenities, extra bedding for the pull out bed, almost all decaf coffees, no towels to dry dishes, no dish soap (we had to get our own). When we asked guest services, it took multiple calls and an extended period of time to fill some requests (ie, getting the bedding). Also our room had some issues upon check in… broken balcony chairs, plugged bathroom sink and a safe that didn’t work. All of the items listed were fixed when brought up to guest services. But it would have been nice to just enjoy the facilities and our vacation without having to get our room to a standard where it should have already been upon arrival. I would stay here again and hope this was only a one off occurrence, as we do really like it here.

We loved the views from our room, as well as thr privacy and quiet our room afforded us. The front desk was friendly and helpful, as were all the staff we encountered. We got extensive, daily exercise from the paved walking path that extended from behind the hotel to the end of the island. Particular mention goes to the Blue Wave restaurant -- we ate several meals there and loved every bite, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. Blue Wave offers an excellent menu and they do a spectacular job. We loved our stay and can't wait to come back to San Diego and stay in the Island Palms Hotel.

The room was clean and ready for us when we checked in after 3pm. We had a suite with 2 queen beds, the room was great size, the TV was huge and the beds were comfortable. The location is convenient to coffee shops and multiple restaurant options. The only complaint we had was we could hear the upstairs neighbors walking around and wrestling like it was in our own room, it was obviously a family with kids which is fine. Even without kids wrestling you can hear loud footsteps easily through the ceiling. Our room was located in the larger building shaped like an M, I highly recommend asking for a second floor room to avoid our only complaint.
