很好的地段,是一個休閑度假旅遊島,前後有幾百艘遊艇,風景極好,散步跑步都很方便。但房間有點舊,有點黴味,需要通風一段時間,幸好前後有門窗,通風順暢。

It is a 3 star hotel and that’s what you get. The room is adequate but it’s quite bare for what you are paying. Body wash had run out, there was no toothbrush or slippers, lights were quite dim, the fan didn’t work. The room shows its age. Nevertheless, it is in a very scenic location. You’ll need to rent a car to take full advantage

The hotel is very big, and it takes some walking distance from the lobby to where you stay. The facilities are generally old, but it is still quiet.

The shower water is cold. There is no service. The kettle is not provided. Parking is charged. When I renewed my reservation for one day, I was not told that I needed to check in again. I was told that I needed to check in again when I couldn't get into the room. Very bad experience

I went to San Diego on a business trip and found a small hotel like a motel. A very bad experience was that the parking lot was right in front of the room... There were noises as I walked by, and the hotel check-in was slow. Although the room is old, it is clean. What I don't understand is that there is no mineral water in the room. You have to buy it separately. You have to go to the front desk to buy it because of the room service.
The harbor outside the hotel and the yacht dock behind it are plus points. The scenery is beautiful and it is safe to live here.
The room rate does not include breakfast. It is recommended that you have breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel restaurant. The food is really good! delicious! !

The hotel is located on a peninsula next to Shelter Island Marina, a yacht pier. It has charming scenery and elegant environment. You can enjoy the sunset at the door of the sea view room, and you can see the aircraft carriers of the naval base from the sea in front of the lobby. There are good seafood restaurants in the town and the hotel restaurant is also very good.

The room had a view of the coastal parking lot, was clean, and was a hotel not far from downtown San Diego.

The room is on the seaside. The scenery is very beautiful. The lobby is grand. I sat on the seaside with a yacht for breakfast and was basking in the warm sunshine. It was very comfortable. However, the air conditioning and heating were very loud and noisy. The overall experience was satisfactory👍
