While checking in, the clerk demanded a cell phone number, I prefer not to share that number. He said I could not check in without giving it. This should have been made clear at the time of booking, so I could have picked a different hotel.

Average Motel with Very Hard Bed

Spacious clean room. The hardest most uncomfortable bed I've slept on in a long time. Very thin calls and floors, hard time sleeping with people above. $15 for parking!! That's absurd, it's a motel with a HUGE private parking lot. should be free like other motels/hotels in the area. Nice large pool and fairly good Mexican restaurant on site.

Great customer service and value!

The accommodations were very nice for the cost. The restaurants were both excellent food and service. And a shout out to both maintenance workers who took time to assist us with trying to jump our car battery!

My friend and I stayed at the King's Inn. We ate at the Mexican restaurant on the premises. I have never heard of anyone serving crab enchiladas, they were the best. The next day before we ate at the Waffle House, their food was delicious as well. We were in town just overnight. We went to see Heart at the Pachenga Arena which was a lot of fun as well. Over all we had a great experience. Kings Inn is a hidden GEM that should be experienced.

I love their pool. The rooms are nice but not soundproof from outdoor noise or neighbors. Its a bit outdated. But the rates are good and our stays are always comfortable. Its so close to old town.

Beds could be a little more comfortable. Pillows and bedding were very nice. I am a big fan of parking your car close to your room for ease of moving luggage, grabbing something from car and vehicle protection. Pool was very clean, grandkids loved the blow up toys provided by the property. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious, quick, reasonably priced and friendly service.
