"This hotel deserves 10 stars. Keep in mind that this is on shelter Island, which is not actually an island but more like a peninsula, but if you wanna go downtown SD or anything, you will need to take an Uber or drive. The hotel itself has wonderful views of the marina. I love the service from the restaurant. Everybody from there was awesome, very friendly and accommodating. Keep in mind that there is a back door that can be locked in your room. I was on the ground floor and there was a patio. The room is very spacious. The only comment I have is that there wasn’t many outlets near the mirrors I had to unplug the microwave to use the blow dryer so I could look at the mirror . Full size toiletries!!! The shower pressure and shampoo and body wash was all lovely .I did see like two ants, but that’s it and I think it’s expected to see some bugs, because you’re by the ocean. The hotel itself is very clean. The pool is a bit small however it does the job. It also has a hot tub which is necessary after a long day of shopping or going to the beach. This was very relaxing. The food is the bomb. I had shrimp cocktail,fish and chips and breakfast. Awesome! I didn’t really walk around too much by shelter island, but it looked like it was a safe place to walk. If you are a solo traveler, I would take caution at night as you would anywhere. If you want shopping and the beach go to Coronado! Access the beach thru Coronado hotel. Thank you!! I will be back :)))"
