We’ve stayed at the BW Island Palms on Shelter Island many times before while visiting San Diego. We choose this hotel for its unique marina view, ease of getting to different areas of SD, coastal island charm, beautiful grounds (pool is great!) and friendliness of hotel staff. This time, I didn’t find our visit as easy going as past visits. We booked a suite for 3 days, which lacked basic amenities, extra bedding for the pull out bed, almost all decaf coffees, no towels to dry dishes, no dish soap (we had to get our own). When we asked guest services, it took multiple calls and an extended period of time to fill some requests (ie, getting the bedding). Also our room had some issues upon check in… broken balcony chairs, plugged bathroom sink and a safe that didn’t work. All of the items listed were fixed when brought up to guest services. But it would have been nice to just enjoy the facilities and our vacation without having to get our room to a standard where it should have already been upon arrival. I would stay here again and hope this was only a one off occurrence, as we do really like it here.
