Humphreys Half Moon Inn & Suites

Humphreys Half Moon Inn and Suites is a mid-range marina-side hotel at 2303 Shelter Island Dr on Shelter Island, a narrow peninsula in the Point Loma area of San Diego, California. The island sits in San Diego Bay, with sailing marinas, public fishing piers, waterfront parks and sweeping views toward downtown and Coronado. The property is next to Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, an outdoor concert venue that hosts summer shows, which gives the hotel a lively event-season character. San Diego International Airport is about five miles away, and downtown San Diego is roughly ten to fifteen minutes by car. The hotel has a relaxed, South Pacific-influenced tiki-style feel typical of Shelter Island, set among palm-lined grounds and marina walkways. Guest rooms include king rooms, double queen rooms and suites, many with patios or balconies overlooking the marina or the pool area. The listed amenities include a pool, a marina, a restaurant and the concert venue next door. The on-site restaurant serves meals with a casual waterfront tone, and the island has other restaurants and bars within walking distance. Guests can stroll along the Shelter Island shoreline, watch boats and fishing activity and enjoy sunsets over the bay. Service character is laid-back and leisure-oriented, with staff able to help with concert logistics, boat or fishing outings and local dining. Rates generally range from about $200 to $450 per night, with the highest prices on concert nights and summer weekends. Parking arrangements and fees should be confirmed at booking, and concert nights can bring traffic and noise. The hotel suits couples, music fans and travelers who prefer a quieter marina atmosphere over downtown intensity, and it works well for visitors combining the stay with trips to Point Loma's Cabrillo National Monument and the Sunset Cliffs coastline. Anyone sensitive to evening noise should check the concert calendar before booking.
