Hotel Aqua Mar was okay. I did appreciate them calling to ask what time I would be checking in, in which showed they were expecting me. However, the room was more on the smaller side. We stayed in a two queen room. We were a little snug for my family of 4.

My room shared a door with the lobby which made me uncomfortable as a female traveling alone. I could clearly hear the front desk having conversations on the phone.

It's a great location for getting to Shelter Island or Point Loma/beaches. The street it's on is a traffic nightmare. There's a coffee shop right next door, which is nice. The room is what you'd expect for the price. It seemed clean except there was a weird burnt piece of plastic on the bathroom floor. I couldnt wait to leave in the morning, but it's fine if you just need a bed for the night.
