After a long day at Sea World (less than 10 minutes away) we rolled into this Motel at 1030pm and were greeted with a smile. We had requested a first floor room, and got it. The place was packed, probably sold out. The front desk clerk was pleasant, helpful, and seemed to actually enjoy her job, which is a rarity... More

I brought a busload of 55 folks to Kings Inn and we had an enjoyable 3 night stay. As others have noted, the customer service is excellent. The pool and hot tub are very nice...well placed in the center of the motel in a garden-like setting. I say motel because you need to understand that is what it is. There... More

This hotel is in a great location. It has a very nice pool and hot tube. The waffle spot is a great place for breakfast and the amigo spot is good for dinner. The room was a little outdated but very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

We weren’t impressed but more so disappointed, the property is minimal in updates and amenities but for the price made sense. I don't regret staying here as the room was kind of dismal but the staff made up for that by being overly helpful and friendly.

The hotel is in a fantastic location to explore San Diego and the surrounding area. The rooms although a little dated were clean, comfortable and great value compared to a lot of hotels nearby, so the age is not even an issue.
