"All the common areas are clean and updated. Room was clean, if a little dated. Can't beat the location and patio overlooking the harbor; almost overhanging the harbor. The water is literally at the edge of the elevated deck. Very peaceful and great view."

"I found this place by accident for a last minute business trip from SEA to SAN. I wasn't sure where my work event was even taking place, so imagine my surprise and JOY when I realized it was mere blocks away! I landed much earlier than my check-in time (3pm) and I needed to prepare for multiple meetings and get ready for the event I flew there for. No panic needed though, they graciously allowed me to check in early. It was such a kind gesture, and it literally saved my headspace for this trip! The property is beautiful, everything was super clean - all the way from the parking garage to the bathroom. I work in the yachting industry so I notice everything, and there was nothing less than perfect. The location couldn't be any better either, grocery store, coffee shops, sushi, etc.. It was all within walking distance! I loved the local vibe of it all, instead of the tourist feel in other parts of SD. Here is my thank you note I left when I checked out: "I want to thank you AGAIN for such a great stay! You saved my trip by allowing me to check in so early, I made my meeting with plenty of time and it mattered. You guys are great with a beautiful Inn. See you again soon!" I highly recommend Lyfe Inn, what a gem."
