Family Trip

We have passed this place up a few time while leaving San Diego on the way home. This is our first time staying and do plan on staying other times we stay in San Diego. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I was greeted with a happy smile at check in and it was a breeze. When we pulled up and parked in front of the Waffle King, my kids got excited and made that night even better. The rooms are clean with a modern thermostat (Digital). In the morning, while walking to The Waffle Spot that is connected to the Inn, we saw the staff cleaning the pool, filter and all. That was a great thing to see. The Waffle Spot is a MUST! Our second night, we did hear walking above us, due to us being in the second floor but that was no issue for us. We hear a lot more running and stepping at home. It is pretty close to food spots if you need something. The room does not have a microwave but there is one in the patio area by the pool. I really enjoyed the stay and you cannot beat that price. I read that some complained about the $15 fee for parkings but that is CHEAP compared to a lot of other places out there. I loved the fact that I got an email letting me know about the $100 deposit and $15 parking/security fee. That really doesn't happen with places nowadays. One more thing, if you do go to the Waffle Spot, let them know you are staying at the Knights Inn for a 10% discount.

The staff member that assisted us at check in was very friendly, the room was spacious and clean, housekeeping provided new clean towels, the beds were SO comfortable, parking was plentiful and very convenient (for a nightly fee), the restaurant staff downstairs was very friendly and the food was delicious making it super convenient not having to leave the facility to eat! The location was very close to the local mall and shopping center as well as a trolley station down the way which was very convenient coming back from a concert! Greatly enjoyed my stay!

The visit to Kings Inn for a one night stay was great, check-in was so easy, the room was of adequate size and very clean. We didn't use the pool area but it looked like people were having fun in it. The Mexican food at you restaurant was very tasty and releasably priced. The Waffle house was our favorite meal, our server was so delightful and attentive. We gave her a good tip.
