I would definitely stay here again. The value for accommodations was great.
Pros:

Great location. The person who checked us into hotel was very kind and helpful. I wish I had more time to spend at the hotel. We arrived in the evening and had to check out by 8 a.m. because of our schedule. It is in a great location near the beach and restaurants. The coffee shop nearby was reasonable and people were friendly.

Fresh, calming and beautiful stay.
Pros:

The parking was easy to get to, the rooms were so clean and fresh (no stale hotel smell) shower had good pressure. The pillows were also very comfortable.

Cons:

Only sad note was that we had to go downstairs to use the microwave but it’s a such a small detail it didn’t really impact our stay at all.

Bom hotel! Ficaria lá novamente.
Pros:

Tudo é limpo e tecnológico. Realmente só faltou o café da manhã. Nem sei se tinha, mas não vi a opção, e fui tomar em La Jolla Cove.

Cons:

Café que não soube se havia ou não.
