Humphreys Half Moon Inn

One of my favorite hotels. The landscaping is tropical paradise complete with 2 macaws . The rooms I have had on my three visits have been good sized and nicely designed. The breakfast were excellent and the restaurant, now open post Covid, is really cool with giant plate glass windows and wonderful views. Humphrey's reminds me of a 1950s or 1960s tropical style but done much better. The service at the hotel and the restaurant is very friendly. I have found the location good for my business travels in San Diego and for tourism with my wife. Humphreys is also know for their music events--I caught part of one on an earlier visit and it was great.

This little gem of a resort reminds me of what times would have been like during the slower days of San Diego. Yet they have everything needed for a busy entreprenuer to travel and stay connected. Rooms are well layed out, the setting has a good balance with nature and water and their wifi is great.

I impulsively booked my stay at the Half Moon Inn based on a recommendation from a family friend and I was completely wowed by the beauty of the hotel, the quality of the room, the service, and the amenities. The staff at the pool were incredible - I didn't catch any names but the taller gentleman who was working as a security guard (checking bracelets) around 3pm on the 30th provided AMAZING service and took the time take photos of me and my friends, and helped me get a replacement for my drink when I accidentally spilled it. The bartender working around the same time (he wore a black nightmare before christmas themed mask) was also so personable and helpful when I was ordering. When I checked in, I was super early for my stay and the front desk staff was so accodating and set me up with a pool key, food recommendations, and even called when my room was ready! The room itself was clean, the shower was intuitive (often an issue for me, I can be a dummy...) and the complimentary soap/shampoo was really nice. On the day of my checkout, the staff member at the desk named Michelle was so incredibly helpful, she blew me away with her thorough recommendations for local vegan food and even had a menu. I definitely recommend this hotel to anybody who has dietary restrictions, I believe she also had a gluten-free menu available and was really knowledgable about the area. She also walked me through the history of the hotel which I LOVED, I had no idea there was so much amazing history and that the polynesian theming had a backstory! I don't normally write massive reviews like this, but the half moon inn blew me away. Thanks team for the amazing stay :)

I love shelter Island San Diego! Its a perfect location with beautiful water scenery and close to downtown San Diego and everything else... Ive stayed at several resorts on shelter Island and Humphrey is really a lovely property! The grounds are beautifully landscaped with a tropical flair the marina view is spectacular! it’s great that they have an outdoor café that you can order and sit looking at the boats in the marina. The pool looks inviting and my room which was a suite was perfectly large.... I would truly recommend Humphrey🌟🌟🌟

This is not a cheap place but the money goes towards maintaining the wonderful rooms with wooden ceilings and sliding patio shutters, decent beds, lots of cubbies for all your stuff, mini fridge and microwave, good toiletries, and such beautiful grounds. It is like being in Hawaii with palm trees, waterfalls, fire pit terrace, great pool that is well heated, hot tub, koi ponds, two parrots who live on site, and a very safe area on Shelter Island in Point Loma. They do not do any housekeeping until you check out, but you can call any time for things you need. They could use some of those half trash, half recycling receptacles.
