It was a perfect location for the concert which was a very short walk from our room.
Pros:

The room was right outside the concert event area. The pool was large enough to swim laps while still avoiding other users. The staff were all friendly and considerate. The tropical gardens added to the experience.

Quaint, cozy,
Pros:

Room was excellent, staff allowed us to switch after receiving a room that didn't suit. Location is perfect and the area was full of life and culture and the smell of the ocean was enlightening. Beach across the street was quaint and walking distance to most everything.

Cons:

Only that there wasn't a concert on the week that we were there.

Such a fun and relaxing trip to San Diego
Pros:

Humphreys is always a consistent and wonderful experience. You can enjoy time by the pool/hot tub, see live music backstage, say hi to the Macaws, eat at their delicious restaurant, and reserve a boardroom for business.

Considering the price, there should have been more attention to the details of the accommodation.
Pros:

Proximity to pool.

Cons:

The toilet was unstable and sounded like it would come apart when sitting on it. There were 2 recessed lights that were burned out. The hinge of the bathroom door squeaked. The room was very small and the patio miniscule.

Nice stay.
Pros:

My room was very comfortable as was the bed. It was nice and quiet.

Cons:

I wasn't crazy about the choice of television entertainment. I could only access certain channels. Needs more channels to choose from. Also could not get YouTube. Although, I could get the Pluto app.

Shout out to Sierra at the pool bar! She is amazing!!
Pros:

We loved the pool and bar area! It was super low key and relaxing.

Cons:

Once we arrived the bathroom sink was clogged. But we reach out to the front desk, sent maintenance right away and resolve the issue with a breezeway!

Great for our needs!
Pros:

Beautiful grounds surround the pool and pool bar. Pool offered towels and nice chairs. There was also a small gym facing the marina. We had a ground floor with a sitting area. Very nice.
