“Pleasantly Surprised”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

We chose this hotel because we wanted to save a little bit of money on a short one-night stay and because it got decent reviews. From the outside and lobby it looks like not much has changed since the late 60s. But our room was quite nice. It was older but clean and comfortable. The best part was it was clean. The hot tub was a little disappointing; it wasn't much warmer than the chilly night air. No WiFi issues.

Thank you so much for your review! You'll be happy to know that all of our rooms are undergoing a substantial remodel. Although you'd probably never notice since it's being done in phases to minimize any inconvenience to our guests. The new rooms will include a new LCD TV, fresh paint, lighting, flooring, bathroom among other improvements. We will continue to provide a unique alternative to the "chain" hotels at an affordable price. I invite you to stay with us again in one of our newly remodeled rooms!

“Kings Inn Staycation”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My wife and I decided that a "staycation" might be nice for a night, so I looked up some deals online and found the Kings Inn for $60/night for a poolside room.

The hotel is located in San Diego's Hotel Circle, conveniently off the 8. Not a major deal for us as we're local, but very convenient for access to much of what San Diego has to offer.

The hotel is one of the older hotels in the area and as such it does show some signs of wear and tear. If you are concerned about things like some chipped paint or an ill-fitting light fixture, then you might want to shop elsewhere. However, if you want a clean room with friendly service and a great room rate, Kings Inn is an excellent choice.

The pool and hot tub area were nice and we took advantage of both. I would certainly stay here again and recommend this hotel to out of town guests.

Room Tip: The 180+ pool side rooms can be a bit noisy due to their proximity to the pool gate. Not bad enough...

“Good location, older hotel, good value for you money.”

Stay for 3 nights, went to a chargers football game. Very good location for football. Hotel is older, but comfortable. Staff are very friendly. It's a little hard to get to if you're heading West on I-8. Would stay there again.

Thank you for your review! As you may have noticed our property was built in the 1960s but that has never detracted from our level of service. Our entire staff prides itself in great service whether it be our housekeepers, maintenance or front desk agents. I'm happy to announce that we are also in the process of a full room remodel being done in phases to minimize the affect on guests. I hope we're an even better value on your next stay!

“Good place to start a California Vacation”

We flew into San Diego from Minneapolis and stayed at the Kings Inn. We were very pleased with the room--it wasn't a Hilton but for the money it was a very good value. The hot tub and pool were very nice after a long day traveling. Good location to see the San Diego sites.
