I had a fantastic solo vacation at Humphreys Half Moon Inn for my birthday. The tropical grounds were stunning and created a relaxing atmosphere, even though my room could use some updates. The concert I attended was a big highlight, and I loved the convenience of being able to hear the sound check from my room (it made me feel VIP!). The staff stood out for their friendliness and helpfulness, though some aspects of the hotel, like the pool service, could use some improvement.

The accommodations were comfortable but showing some age, and not all rooms may meet high expectations. I appreciated the views from my second-floor room, but I noted that updates could enhance the experience.

I really enjoyed my stay at Humphreys Half Moon Inn on Shelter Island. The location is fantastic, with easy access to beautiful parks and marina views. The hotel grounds are well-maintained and tropical, creating a relaxing atmosphere. However, I did have some issues with the mattresses, which were uncomfortable and less supportive than I hoped. Despite that, I would consider coming back, hoping for better mattresses next time.

Rooms

7.0

I stayed in a standard king room that was decent in size, but I noticed some rust on the tub. The layout was good, with a separate area for the fridge and closet. The rooms could use better maintenance, as I faced issues with a clogged shower drain when I checked in.

Service

8.0

The staff were professional and friendly, accommodating my requests without hesitation. However, the restaurant service wasn't as quick as I expected during breakfast, which was a little disappointing.

Location

The hotel's location is superb, just minutes from the airport and right by the marina. I loved that I could walk to local restaurants and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the area. It's also a great spot for sunrises.

I enjoyed my stay at Humphreys Half Moon Inn, but not without a few bumps. The grounds were stunning, and the staff was friendly and accommodating, which really enhanced my experience. However, I had some issues with a plumbing problem in my room and a lackluster meal at the restaurant, which detracted from what could have been a perfect stay.

The hotel is beautifully located on Shelter Island, providing a peaceful atmosphere while still being a short drive from downtown San Diego and other attractions.

While the dining experience had its highlights, like some good drinks, my meal fell flat with tough steak and wilted salad. I was hoping for more.

My stay at Humphreys Half Moon Inn had its highs and lows. While the beautiful grounds and friendly staff made a positive impression, I encountered some issues with the room smell and noisy neighbors. Overall, I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and great dining experiences, although there were a few things that could use improvement.

Rooms

8.0

The room I initially checked into had a strong mold smell, which was attributed to the wood ceiling. After some back and forth with the staff, I was able to switch to a waterfront room that was much more pleasant. The new room was spacious and clean, but it did lack black-out curtains and was somewhat dark due to its location.

Service

8.0

The staff were generally friendly and helpful. However, there were moments when they seemed unsure about the room inventory, which was slightly frustrating. Once I got the attention of the right person, they went above and beyond to accommodate my needs.

Location

8.0

Situated right across from San Diego Bay, the location is lovely but somewhat isolated. While it was a short Uber ride to downtown's attractions, I appreciated the tranquility it provided. The area felt safe and pedestrian-friendly, which added to the experience.

Dining

10.0

The dining experience was fantastic. The restaurant on-site offered delicious food with a great menu, and I particularly enjoyed the crab cakes. Room service was also reliable and tasty, making it easy to dine in when I wanted a quiet evening.

Facilities

9.0

The facilities were well-maintained, with a beautiful pool area surrounded by tropical landscaping. Amenities like the heated pool and bar service were good. However, I did notice a bit of a towel shortage at the pool, so I'd recommend bringing one from the room for future visits.
