  • Feels Like A Tropical Paradise
    Have stayed here multiple times and recently booked again because of how amazing this property is. The plant life on the property makes it feel like a tropical paradise! The location is great with lots of good restaurant choices to choose from and is conveniently located close to the airport. The staff are amazing and the rooms are super clean. This is my favorite property in San Diego and I cannot wait to come back

  • Excellent Exotic Escape
    I have wanted to stay at Humphreys for a number of years, and every aspect of the accommodations exceeded my expectations. Our first floor standard room was clean, quite, cozy, and conveniently located near parking. Overall, the property's atmosphere is enhanced by its tropical theme and view of the bay. In addition, brunch at the Humphreys Restaurant is a delightful culinary experience! Totally 10/10, you need to make a reservation!
