Humphrey's Half Moon Inn

San Diego, California, United States

Humphrey's Half Moon Inn is a large hotel (two stories, 182 rooms) on Shelter Island, built in 1960 with Polynesian touches in accordance with the Harbor Department's requirement that all structures on the artificial island be Polynesian in appearance.

It is an upscale hotel, sporting a dramatic A-frame porte cochere and many well-maintained and unusual tikis throughout the grounds. In the summertime, Humphrey's plays host to national music acts during their very popular Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay series.

Humphrey's is one of several great vintage tiki locations on Shelter Island in San Diego, the others being Bali Hai Restaurant and Trader Mort's Liquor.

Trader Tom – 7 May 2006

I was at The Bali Hai for the beginning of the 2006 Tiki Oasis and walked over to check this place out for the first time.

A wonderful Tiki hotel, complete with lit torches, multiple fire pits and cushioned seats out back, and literally a one-block walk to the legendary Bali Hai restaurant. It's also a terrifically convenient place to stay for San Diego Comic-Con, with the shuttle stopping directly in front of the hotel, and one of the shorter rides in to the Convention Center. I'll be staying there again this year!
