“Great stay”

Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

I was amazed at the customer service I received. Not only me but everyone that went into the lobby. The staff was friendly and helpful. I will use this facility again. The pool and area was very inviting. Rooms were nice. Great prices. The restaurants on grounds were also great.

“Very Average and No Frills Accomodation”

Kings Inn hotel is located in an area called hotel circle. There are numerous hotels to be found there. This hotel is a mid-century architecutal style property. It's exterior is maintained well enough, however it could use a good freshening up. The price for 1 night was reasonable. I feel a fair price range should be $62-$82 for what this... More

“Good value but make sure you don't need anything refrigerated!”

Our 2 night stay was fairly pleasant, the room was clean and we slept well as our room did not face the main road. The bed was comfortable and there was ample space for our luggage. But we were very surprised our room didn't come with a bar fridge (it was probably in the fine print). We had to pay... More

This is not typical of our agents and our Desk Manager is already looking at ways to boost their concierge knowledge. Our conclusion is that possibly one of... More

“A Quick Staycation.....”

Reviewed May 6, 2013

We booked the King's Inn through bookit.com and were very happy with the whole thing. The motel/inn (not a resort/hotel) is very nice, clean and popular (as it was full). There is a pool, jacuzzi, coffee shop and restaurant/bar. Free parking, free coffee, free internet and a great price..... to top it all off, Kenyetta at the front desk is... More

Thank you for choosing Kings Inn for your Cinco de Mayo "Staycation"! We are glad you enjoyed our hotel and all it has to offer in both onsite conveniences and comforts and our location.

For the money this place is hard to beat! I have two cousins who live in San Diego so I travel there often. This is the first time I stayed here and I was very impressed. I figured this would be some cheap hotel that I would tolerate to save a few bucks, but it ended up being a nice... More

There was sufficient parking and the... More
