Our Stay

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Kings Inn! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel right at home with their warm greetings of “Welcome Home.” The lobby had such a cozy vibe that it felt like we were stepping into a friend’s house. We actually enjoyed heading up and down the beautiful staircase—it was a highlight for us! Our room was spacious and the bed was super comfy, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring. Plus, it was conveniently located near all the tourist hotspots. We can’t wait to return!

An absolutely wonderful property with stellar service. An underrated hotel in the heart of San Diego. Parking fee increases every time we go still it isn't as bad as other properties in the area.

While the property is older, everything was very clean, and the staff was awesome. We stayed on the first floor yet never heard the people above us or next to us. I would definitely stay again.

Kinda old and noisy

Decent place but it's old and noisy. Very close to the freeway. The room was small. The bed was fine and a nice sized tv and large fridge. The pool area is very nice and may be a reason to stay here if you have small kids. I felt the $15 they charged me to park was unnecessary.
