Will definitely visit again.

Kings Inn was a more affordable option, so I didn't have high expectations, but the stay was awesome! The staff were friendly, the bed was super comfy, the heat/air worked well. The room was clean, and they were very attentive to anything we asked. The pool was nice, and the little outside seating area was inviting. I really liked the Kings Inn and wish I could find more stays like this in other cities!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I loved everything about Kings Inn. My room was fairly large, and very clean. The entire motel had a very "retro" feel about it, as the layout reminded me of a place my family may have stayed in back in the 1970s - complete with a large heated pool and jacuzzi. I had breakfast in the adjoined restaurant and enjoyed some blueberry pancakes. The motel staff members were very friendly and helpful. Check-in was easy and quick. Best of all, the price was much less than other places close to the airport. I highly recommend Kings Inn.

We will not return

They charged extra for parking in an open lot. And extra cleaning service which was not warranted. As much as we come to San Diego, we will not be returning to this property.
