If you love history, and looking for an affordable, family friendly place this place for you. For all adults back in time. It's about a 10 to 15 minutes drive from San Diego International Airport. We rented a car. Warning San Diego has lots of steep and I mean steep hills in some areas. 😱😎 Kings Inn is an area around other hotels. The area was generally safe but I wouldn't walk around at night. There is parking for $15.00 per night. We didn't mind paying extra because they have security and I felt safer parking This was a well maintained motel. The front desk staff were awesome, very friendly and make sure you read the back of the flyer they give you. Our room was super clean, the hotel both inside and outside was super clean and well maintained. There were lots of beautiful holiday decorations, it made the environment warm and cozy. The Waffle Spot is connected to the lobby. Very friendly staff and great food. We had breakfast there every morning, they get busy around 9:00 a.m. Like most restaurants they are a bit pricey but we were on vacation so we get it. Please, please, please check out Old Town just 10 minutes from Kings Inn. The birth place of California and tones of history. The hop on and off tour trolley stops in that area. We drove to all the major beaches, very close and offers a good time. Regarding Los Angeles. A two hour plus drive and the traffic was way too much. I'm sorry to say this, see for yourself but Los Angeles was so gross!!!!!!!! 😱😨💩

Room was clean. It’s clearly an older facility that was beeen renovated. Loved the Christmas theme and energy. Breakfast not included, which is stated. There is a restaurant, the Waffle Spot or Stop, that was good with reasonable prices.

The room was clean, and the staff was very nice. I personally did not like the pillows, but the rest of the family did not have an issue with them. Other than that we love staying at the Kings Inn and eating breakfast at the Waffle Spot.
