Decent, would probably not stay again.
Pros:

The view is beautiful and I enjoyed the seating area. Service was amazing!

Cons:

The bed mattresses could use an update. The rooms were very small and I did not like the blinds/door covering used. It felt like it was very easy to see in to someone's room. The rooms could also use an update. I understand price point of the place, but I have stayed at better quality places for less.

Great hotel, breathtaking views, and amazing staff
Pros:

Staff was incredibly helpful. Terrell helped me get checked in and even met me outside when I got there to insure I got a parking space. The girl who was working when I checked was also amazing, though I didn't catch her name. All of them were very friendly and professional. Their knowledge of the area helped me find a great little beach and the exact kind of food I was looking for. They were very accommodating with requests as well.
The views were absolutely breathtaking. I got to watch the sunset over the ocean right there from the hotel patio, then I woke up early to watch the full moon set as well.
Location was great. Good beaches and good food within walking distance. Downtown SD isn't too far either.
Everyone in the area was super friendly.

Cons:

The room was a bit small, but really not too small. There was no desk in the room, but I was able to request a chair and use one of the bedside tables as one, so that worked out anyway.
If you're staying on the bottom floor you should expect to hear movement from the rooms above.

Pleasant stay
Pros:

We liked the location and the price. The bed was comfy and the room was clean.

Cons:

Definitely needed some towel hooks in the bathroom. It also didn't feel super private with the sidewalk to the lobby right outside our bathroom window.

The view and access to the cliffs -- no competition the best in San Diego.
Pros:

I love that I heard the ocean crashing all night. That I woke up and had coffee, checked the waves, and then worked all morning until I had to go to my conference enjoying the sound of the surf, with the door open and the wind rushing in. I love that I sat in a rocker, and was able to focus on the waves hitting the rocks to bring myself to be present more than I normally am able to.

Cons:

The uber took 9 min to get there. Plan ahead.
