It’s a very nice place to stay. Not a super fancy place, but comfortable and cute holiday decor. The pool and jacuzzi area is nice. Rooms are clean and comfortable…not huge though. Restaurants are good. Spring break crowd was a little loud. So was the freeway…I was in a room facing the freeway. Harder to sleep at night. It’s a good value for what you get too. I recommend

I booked the Kings Inn mainly looking at the posted reviews that are usually very good. I was in San Diego for a special event and I thought I had booked a "special" hotel. I have to say that I was rather disappointed when I got my first look at the hotel and when we entered the lobby. The state of the lobby sitting area is not as glamorous as the website may suggest: it is quite aged. ALSO I would qualify this hotel as a "retro" hotel but not at all "Art deco" hotel: please fix this description. Despite this first feeling I would still recommend the hotel (in fact more of a motel) to a family or for a one or two nights stay. The room was comfortable but the shower & toilet were both in a tiny room (some very large people could not even get in!) which was not what I would expect for the price of that room. Also the sink (which was leaking) was part of the main room (although behind a wall) and this is not convenient and again what one could expect for the price of that room. So overall clean room, very quiet, very convenient to go places & safe parking.

You get what you pay for

The room a corner room with a king size bed. They offered a pack and play but we brought our own. Why only 3 stars? Cons: Floor was gritty and dirty. When my daughter walked into the closet, it was dusty. Bathroom was small and tight. The floor rug would get caught when closing the door. Light switch and headboard was dusty. Pros: Room service - they were fast to respond Sheets was clean The pictures on the site really makes it more luxurious than it really is. Especially the pool side. At the end of the day, the rate was what was expected from an Inn.
