Kings Inn San Diego

“Wonderful stay!”

We stayed 2 nights. Basic accommodations, nothing fancy. Comfortable beds and very clean. Super friendly, helpful staff. Definitely family oriented.

“Perfect stay for a long weekend.”

The location and cleanliness of this hotel is the best. it was literally no more than 10 minutes to the San Diego Zoo, the beaches, USS Midway and the freeway was right there.

The location and cleanliness of this hotel is the best. it was literally no more than 10 minutes to the San Diego Zoo, the beaches, USS Midway and the freeway was right there. The rooms were VERY clean. not a spot of mold, no bugs. the beds were comfy the shower was of nice water pressure. The only thing that was a negative was the fact that there was no elevator so we had to lug our suitcases up the stairs to our room and also, no coffee bar to go get coffee if you are an early riser. there is a restaurant on premises but opens later in the morning. All in all it was great value and the service and friendliness of the front desk was the best.

“Comfortable stay in San Diego”

I enjoyed the retro room decor. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Check-in was fast and check-out was even easier, just drop they keys in the box. The caulking around the tub needs to be repaired. The pool looked inviting and the hot tub was the perfect temperature.

“Love this place, except for a couple little things.”

I stayed here earlier in April and was impressed enough to book a return visit.

I stayed here earlier in April and was impressed enough to book a return visit. I checked out this morning, and while there are still many things I like about this property, there are some cleanliness issues that need to be addressed. Most notably, dust buildup appears to be a recurring problem. The hanging light fixtures are visually appealing but clearly collect a significant amount of dust and do not seem to be part of regular cleaning. I observed this during my first stay and again during this most recent visit, which suggests it is being consistently overlooked. There was also visible dust accumulation on the bedside lamps. In addition, I noticed mildew underneath the soap holder in the shower. I want to be clear that I have a significant dust allergy, and this did impact my stay and my comfort. ( I emailed twice regarding this issue in anticipation of my stay, but did not receive a response ), Cleanliness—especially in these kinds of details—is not optional for guests with sensitivities. Pros: * Stylish, inviting property with a generally clean appearance at first glance * Beautiful pool and hot tub area * Friendly and professional staff * Two excellent on-site restaurants * Good value overall * Fun touches like boozy milkshakes and margaritas at Amigo Spot Cons: * Repeated dust accumulation in fixtures and lamps that appears to be routinely overlooked * Mildew present in the shower area * Parking is $15 per night (not a one-time fee), which adds up quickly This property has a lot of potential and many strong positives, but consistent attention to detailed cleaning is necessary. Without that, it falls short of the standard it otherwise presents.
