"Tropical getaway"
Having a parking lot that was easy to get to our car was a plus, versus the traditional hotel with valet parking. The grounds were well maintained with new plantings. My two complaints were the neighbors above were noisy early in the morning, but that's not the hotels fault, and the smoke alarm was beeping at 2:00am due to low battery. I would suggest […] getting a top floor, and a room with a view of the marina or skyline. Would love to come back for one of their summer concerts. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to all the sights"
While the hotel and grounds were charming, the rooms are very small. The mattresses need to be updated since both beds in the room felt like you were sleeping on the floor. If you are 5'9" or taller, the shower is a complete joke. I'm 5'10" and the showerhead came up to my shoulder. Doing back-bends to try and wash my hair was a nightmare. On the plus […] side, the location is great for getting to downtown and other areas quickly. If I stayed here again, I would just be really picky about the room I was getting.

"beautiful hotel, no parking"
The hotel was nice, the room was big and very comfortable. We couldn't ask for a better location. Upon booking and check in however we were not informed half the small parking lot was roped off and the other half was being repainted, so no parking there either. You couldn't navigate out because the main exit was blocked off by a construction dumpst […] er. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
hotel needs updating. parking lots needs paint. while the bedroom was just about perfect the bathroom floor was in dire need of soap and a stiff brush. most doorframes are badly smudged and in need of paint. although the room was big enough i am not quite sure that i got the room that i ordered and paid for. the $10.00 a night additional charge to park […] there was a surprise, no one mentioned it before.

"Impromptu booking when other plans fell through"
We booked Humphrey's the "day of" when our other lodging plans fell through. The hotel was great! The staff were all incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about delish local eats. The rooms were clean and in good repair. The location was perfect for our plans. Our only real complaint about the room was the art deco bathroom sink. It was awkward and my […] husband had a hard time washing his man hands in the cramped sink. Nothing major, but something they can improve! It was a great stay and we will certainly stay again!

This visit was just overnight, but we choose this hotel because we love it.Location, nice rooms, etc. We had done a one day stent at Sea World celebrating a newfews 4th B.D with relatives. Staying overnight in San Diego and relaxing over a good dinner in peace & quite was welcome, before a long drive home. We love Shelter Island and Humphrey's is a […] nice hotel.

"Charming and clean"
We loved our stay, we have 2 young kids and they enjoyed the grounds too. The views of Mission Bay are really great, lots of yachts and the view of the SD downtown skyline were nice backdrops. The pool and hot tub were very enjoyable. The rooms were nicely appointed. It's also a music venue, which is an added bonus. There is good food nearby, Marvelous […] muffins for in-room breakfast and a great Thai place all within walking distance. The hotel food is probably great too, but staying in for meals with our kids is our current m.o. That's why the refrigerator and microwave were useful. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

I was not expecting to be amazed based on some of the reviews, but once we got there were were impressed with the location, the room, and the lush landscaping.

"Would absolutely stay again!!!"
I stayed at Humphrey's Half Moon Inn for five nights in Jan. 2013 with my sixteen-year-old daughter. We loved everything about the place and would definitely stay again! The location is perfect - in between downtown and the beaches and Shelter Island truly is like a tropical getaway. The grounds are very nice, the restaurant is awesome (fantastic Sunday […] brunch), the staff is beyond helpful and friendly, the pool area is relaxing, and the room was lovely. We asked to change rooms upon check-in simply due to seeing a room with a nice location, and they gladly obliged. I only ranked comfort down a point because the bed was a bit hard... however, the one in our original room seemed much more comfy so perhaps they are in the process of replacing beds and we moved to a room with an older one. Otherwise, everything was wonderful!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice Hotel on Shelter Island"
We have stayed at this hotel a few years ago, so we had a pretty good idea what it was like. The king room was on the small side but nice and appeared to be recently remodeled. There was a small refridgerator, microwave and coffee maker in the room. I have only two complaints: 1) I don't remember a charge for parking in the past, so I was a little shocked […] that we were charged. 2) The pool and hot tub were closed for remodeling and we did not know this at the time of booking. Since this trip was a vacation, this feature was very important to us and had I known of this closure, we would have booked elsewhere. The hotel did have an arrangement with a nearby hotel to use their poo/hot tub and provided shuttle service, but this was too inconvienient and we did not take advantage of it. All-in-all, its a nice place to stay near dowtown attractions, but also away from busy streets and congestion. But recommend calling the hotel to make sure of what you are getting before booking!

"Fair"
The hotel was nice and was in a nice location however, the rooms are not well insulated and we could hear everything that was happening next to us and outside such as others leaving their room or going in.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just as expected"
Booked on Black Friday at a very good price, but would be equally happy if paying the normal winter rate. The pool is closed for renovation until Christmas 2012. Extremely convenient location on shelter island for touring sites in and around the city. Although the hotel is old, but it is well maintained. The grounds are extremely well cared for. Got […] a room with 2 queen beds - they seemed to be about 3 inches narrower and 3 inches longer than a standard queen. The parking is tight, but OK for a typically sized car. Overall we were very pleased. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Wonderful place to stay"
My family and I stayed at Humphreys for 3 days, and I can tell you right now that I'd go back in a second!! The location is absolutely wonderful. It's a short ride to just about all the attractions in and around San Diego. The Hotel was clean and well kept. The staff was extremely friendly. There are a bunch of great restaurants within walking distance […] of the hotel. We ate breakfast every morning at the Red Sails Inn (I think that is what it was called) just up the street. The food was great and we sat out on the porch and enjoyed the view. Couldn't have had a better time!!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

I booked this place to be on the bay but surprisingly after dark there was not a single soul on the streets. It was very eerie.

"No way this is a 4.5 star hotel!!!"
When driving into the complex you're thinking you're about to drive into paradise. The sourroundings are very pretty, however, then you open the door to your room and you're hit with this musty aroma that is disgusting!! The walls and heating system had mold on them and the carpet was actually damp when you walked on it with barefeet!! I do have to […] say the pool was beautiful and I saw the staff check the chemical levels a few times. The pool bar was not opened but you could have room service ordered to your pool from the pool telephone. On our last night we were extremely disturbed by a couple in a nearby room who decided to have a huge brawl!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Good location, helpful staff"
On the good side, the location is close to Sea World and the beach and the area has several good restaurants. The staff was very helpful, even giving us a room credit because of a mishap when we checked into our room. We had a very good meal for dinner in the hotel restaurant too. We also liked the in room fridge & microwave. On the downside, the property […] is a bit worn looking and the rooms need updating. The carpet and bedskirts looked dirty and need replacing.

"Pick your room wisely"
We traveled with our 2 year old, and our first room was overlooking the pool. The pool didn't close, people were swimming & drinking until late, and the band next door was loudly audible. The room was awful for many reasons (the bed creaked, it smelled). We changed rooms and it was much better. We moved to a quiet room w/a balcony, the room was cleaner […] and seemed newer, and we ended up having a nice night. The restaurant was very good. Overall, I think it's way too expensive for what, and where, it is. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Unfortunately our room stayed very damp for our stay and the A/C was not very good at keeping the room very cool. The room and bathroom seemed a bit too small for a family of 4 people.Overall, we did like the hotel but would make sure the A/C was better.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Suite very clean but layout not what expected for a "suite." Not enough drawers & hangers for clothes for 4 people. Staff courteous, but not super friendly.
