Everything was great, the only thing is they didn’t mention about a $100 deposit (I know some hotels do) but in Expedia page didn't mention it or I didn’t see it. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Very nice place with a nostalgic late 50's early 60's vibe. Everthing was comfortable and the staff made you feel welcome. If we find ourselves back in San Diego, we would not hesitate to stay at the Kings Inn again, its so close to everywhere in San Diego you want to be.

Everything is good The faculty had parking but unfortunately, they had to charge $15 per day which I never heard that before when you want to check in, they won’t give you rooms that stuff because I try to get money off you to give you the room you want which is an ethical

It was a nice location but there’s not really a lot to do in that area and one of the 2 restaurants was closed which really limited eating options. I wish they would have said that theres was only one open

I gave an overall of 4 stars because I did not like the bed. It was uncomfortable and very noisy and the tv would not stay on. Other than that, the property itself in the room is very clean. The Waffle spot in the Mexican food place that they have There are very good.
