Adriana at the front desk set tone for great stay.
The room was nice and comfortable, beds were so comfy, wonderfully large TV, fantastic views. Staff were very friendly. Check in was nice and smooth because Adriana was so sweet and helpful. I had a problem with my back and she was incredibly kind and understanding.
A couple things they could fix:
Broken window blind slats
Gap under door let in a lot of noise from the hallway
No working ventilation in the bathroom
Low quality coffee and coffee maker
Smelly sink water

Rotting room and sewer smelling shower drain.
The staff was super helpful and understanding and they tried their best to keep this old rotting establishment running.
The room I stayed in stank. The shower drain stank of the sewer every time I turned on the shower. The carpet in the room was in terrible condition and probably had mold in the corners. The bed was super uncomfortable and gave me neck and back pain. I usually don't leave reviews, but for the price I paid, this was a horrible experience.

Great location
We love this Best Western. It’s in a beautiful location and the service is always great. We went to the restaurant for dinner and the service was great! It’s a great spot to walk around shelter island.

A night away from buzzz
Location is quite far from main attraction if u don't have a car otherwise Uber is available. Surrounding feels very safe and calm, good for relaxation or just to stay away from noise and crowds. Environment is very clean. The hotel itself looks a bit old but well kept and clean. Only met a couple of staffs but they seems friendly and acommodating. A lot of parking available outside and a nice view of the bay and San Diego.

Great 2 night stay.
Amazing rooms. Very large, very clean, quiet, amenities included and view was fablous. Our room faced the Marina and was a georgous relaxing view. Will definitely be staying again. Only draw back if you want to park on the property they charge $25 a night. We were able to park across the street and it was fine.
