Staff was always friendly and helpful. The room was nice and clean, bed comfortable. We enjoyed the pool each day we were there. Nice place to just relax at. Nice having restaurants at the motel. Only complaint we would have been not having breakfast included or at least a discount at the restaurant.

The pool area is amazing, the rooms are clean and cute, the restaurants are adorable.... everything is picture perfect. I would absolutely stay here again and be happy to spend all day and night enjoying the pool. And it is so close to the airport as well as other attractions. Highly recommend

Some good, some not so good
The good
1. Location was great, nothing was more than 10-15 minutes away
2. Beds were comfortable
3. Waffle House was great, staff was very nice and food was good
4. Pool area was nice
5. Good value for the area
Not so good
1. Noisy. Inn is right next to the highway and it seemed like people were going right by your room all night
2. Bathroom is weird. Shower and toilet separate from the sink and can’t close the bathroom door without stepping into the shower.
3. Shower was pretty dirty. Random hair everywhere
4. At the end of our nearly week long stay, asked if they could hold our suitcase because we flew out later that day. We ubered around the city so didn’t have anywhere to put it and they flat out refused. The Marriott up the street actually offered to keep it for us after explaining the situation and we didn’t even stay there. Seems like a basic hotel function for guests.

We were in a King Bedroom Superior room. We appreciated the sitting area with a sofa and coffee table, along with the fridge, microwave, cupboards, and sink. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom sink was new, and there was a separate walk in closet with a door, dresser, and mirror that could be used when someone else was in the bathroom. We also liked that we had our own room thermostat to control the temperature. It was an actual heating/cooling system rather than the loud units by the windows that so many hotels have. We enjoyed relaxing in our room at the end of each day of our visit to San Diego! Would highly recommend the Kings Inn!

Oh my goodness cute as can be. Super clean. Nice pool and hot tub. Nice staff. Smells nice. They do have a safe secluded smoking area for smokers. Good food. The only draw back I found Is no super early breakfast ..but other than that it's the nicest motel I've ever stayed at and I've stayed at many in my life. ..the vibe is friendly and peaceful . Parking was nice . We are here for my son's Marine Corps graduation and I need to add a guest my son after graduation..and it was no problem. Staying in double queen room. Everything works nicely from climate control to plumbing and outlets . It feels looks and smells clean and safe .

Update: Stayed here for the second time and had a better experience than the first!!!
This is a cool, vintage motel that has added some modern touches. It is well maintained even though it is older. For both of my stays, the rooms were exceptionally clean, beds were comfortable, and I was able to park very close to my room. Also this recent time, I enjoyed the hot tub every night!! Such a relaxing addition to my stay. I’ll definitely be back!
My only con is that both times I unfortunately encountered people smoking and the smell wafted into my open room window or the hot tub area. It was not continuous though.
This hotel is cheaper than all the other hotels in the area, so the price makes it worth staying here.

Cute homey Inn. Booked last minute and got a decent room. Cute decor and a
Comfortable space. I wish the blackout curtains were stronger for the front window, personally too much light coming in the morning, but I brought a sleeping mask so that helped. 2 restaurants on premises, a breakfast diner and Mexican diner in the evening. Would stay here again 🙂

They have a nice little pool and jacuzzi. The breakfast restaurant is close by conveniently. Prices are best if dealt on their official website. They have different prices for refundable vs non refundable packages. Overall a pleasant stay.

You have to stay here! I chose this location as it has cheap prices and I had stayed at the Kings Inn in Anaheim before and was very pleased with that location. The outside doesn’t look like much at all but the rooms are very nice and comfortable. I believe I got a bit of an older room as it was different than some of the pictures online but I know they were renovating some rooms beside mine so I think it’s just a matter of time before all of them are more up to date. Even with a bit of an older room though I had no complaints! I unfortunately had some problems arise during my trip so I had to extend my booking a couple times. The front office was AMAZING, I cannot remember her name but I believe she is the day manager. She was unbelievable, she helped me out with any questions and offered her services if I needed anything at all. She made me feel so at ease during a stressful time and she really went above and beyond. The pool is nice and big and has a nice hot tub as well. They have a restaurant on site and I tried the Waffle House which is what they serve during the morning/afternoon and it was very good. This is in a great location and I found it was close to a lot of stuff especially if you have a car. For the price you cannot go wrong with this location and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in San Diego.

Decent result for a decent price. The room does not have shampoo/conditioner which is common for every other hotel I’ve been to. There is also no microwave which bummed me out but they have a coffee machine which is nice. Has everything needed for a day or two.

Showed up an hour early due to effects of time change. Desk staff was friendly and accommodating and got us checked in early. Note no cash accepted. Only cards
No continental breakfast but 10% off anything at 2 on site restaurants. Nice clean rooms. Cute setting and nice pool and hot tub.. only downside is not microwave in each room only one community one in laundry room.

Stayed here in early December and really enjoyed it. The pool and hot tub are great and the room was very clean. It is decidedly an older property but I never mind that if it’s clean. Ample parking and low prices for lodging. Attached restaurant with discount if you mention staying at the hotel. Convenient location in hotel circle. I’d stay here again without hesitation. A little loud in the room from road and guest noise…really more like 4.5 stars.

Staff was nice both times I stayed here. Rooms were clean and spacious. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the lack of outlets for use in the room. Also there's no microwave, but I found out there's one in the laundry room you can use for free. Didn't go in the pool, but it looked clean and well kept. Affordable and in a good location, would definitely stay here next time I'm in San Diego.

This place is absolutely the best. My parents and I have had to travel to the area multiple times in the few months do to my father having appointments at the Moores Cancer center. Each time we have stayed here the staff has been amazing and accommodating. I always ask to have the rooms on the ground floor and next to each other since we get two room and it has never been a problem. The rooms here are always very clean and comfortable. Having a family member fighting cancer is stressful enough so knowing that this place is somewhere I can take my father and he will be comfortable is a blessing.

I will admit the outside of the hotel had us doubting our decision to book this hotel, but the actual room and service changed our minds. They clean your room daily and provide you with fresh towels and whatever other amenities you might need. The room itself isn’t super fancy, but it’s clean and nicely decorated and it was spacious enough for the two of us. One added—unexpected—bonus was that the Waffle Spot is right there and they have the most amazing mini waffles and country potatoes ever.

This hotel is even better than I expected! Location is perfect, Front desk staff very friendly ,easy check in. The grounds are beautiful and very very clean. Pool and jacuzzi area are just perfect also.
Rooms are immaculately clean, simple room but very tastefully decorated. Cute little fridge. Cable TV and Roku TV is available.. Soft comfortable beds with extra blankets in room. Great AC!
The Waffle Spot restaurant is a must,so good! Great start to an awesome day in San Diego!
I will definitely 100% stay here again. and again

Very good place to stay. Close to everything and comfortable. Have stayed there for 3 nights and everyday after we come back we find the room cleaned and nice. I’m giving this place a 4 star because for some reason they decided to tint the windows which prevent the sun from entering the room and this can be unhealthy in the long run.
Also the hair dryer is weak and take long time to dry hair and it could be better

Overall good value and Central location. But be aware there aren't microwaves in the rooms. You have to trek to the laundry room before 10p.m. to hear things in a shared microwave, or pay extra to have one bright to your room. Pool was a little cool but fun. Hot tub Big and open, although the last night we were there it wasn't hot for some reason. Also that cute retro fridge they have in the hotel photos... That's not the kind of fridge that's actually in rooms.

Clean, affordable, and comfortable! We will be staying here again! 🙌🏨

Room was clean and comfortable. AC worked really good. Hot water was instant. Pool is clean. Bed was comfortable. The front desk lady is very professional. You can’t beat the price for what you get here.
One thing is that they didn’t have a microwave inside but you can rent one from them.
I’m glad I did my research before I booked this hotel. I would come here again. I saved money by booking off the kings inn website.

Remember to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴜʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ when booking a resort. This site will compare thousands of booking websites and typically will have rooms a lot cheaper than others! Thank me later on! This hotel is one of my favorites in the area. I have been coming here for a long time. If you decide to stay here you won't be let down.
Brings back memories from childhood trips with my family. The hotel was vintage and loved the outdoors pool. Highly recommend the hotel when staying in San Diego, it is central to everything.

We stayed over Memorial weekend, room was poolside, and the pool was really big . The waffle spot is right next door and it's in the middle of San Diego close to everything. Our room had two queen beds, a TV and a small refrigerator perfect for us. I would definitely recommend staying at Kings inn San Diego.

Great hotel close to airport and beaches. Cleanliness is ok. Need some deep cleaning done on bathroom light fixtures and bathroom sweeping. Maintenance needs to check the bathtub, the faucet is about to fall off but still worked. Pool and hot tub were great. I'll come back.

This hotel was great! The rooms seamed fairly newly renovated and were clean. Our room had a hardwood floor and why don’t all hotels do that?! The mini fridge was a cute 50s aesthetic with a fridge and freezer. 10/10 would recommend this hotel.

Built in the 1950s, the rooms and bathroom area are super small. Not at all modern. Location was good but that's about it. There was a used shower cap hanging on the bathroom door and hair in the tub. Won't stay there again. Would have rather paid $50 more and stayed in a modern place.

It was my first time traveling to San Diego and I found this hotel on bookings.com for a pretty good price... I loved the vintage decor and how there is literally a restaurant right at the hotel that serves some bomb breakfast. The best part was how nice housekeeping was and how they always made sure our rooms looked nice and tidy. I really appreciate the housekeeping staff and overall hotel management. The clerks at the front desk were also very helpful in recommending us how to navigate our way through the hotel and onto our rooms. Overall 5/5 stars and definitely look forward to booking with them again soon!

Had a really nice stay here at the Kings Inn. The room and bathroom were very clean. The mattress was actually really comfortable. We got a great deal through last minute travel, which probably had something to do with covid because this place was in a great location, close to shopping, and a short drive to ocean beach. Pet friendly, but make sure you register with them that you have one, otherwise there's a hefty fee.

This place is so cozy! This is definitely one of my favorite places to stay when I am looking for a place to get away for the weekend. The rooms are spacious, very clean, well furnished, and fresh-smelling. I'm not sure if smoking-rooms are offered here, but the ones that are non-smoking are always fresh and smell so good. Also, their hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion is of quality and also smell so good. They have lots of parking up close to the rooms and many staircases that are fairly spaced throughout the property for easy access to the rooms. The pool is amazing in size, appearance, and cleanliness. It is lit in different colors that accentuate the palm trees and overall color scheme of the Inn. Housekeeping is friendly and respectful Linen and towels are of quality. The beds are made very well. They look perfectly made and super comfy as soon as you open the door to the rooms for the very first time. I love it here. Definitely recommend to everyone who is looking for an affordable, clean, and comfortable place to retreat for a day or five.

00:48 05 Mar 21
Everything was great until the housekeeping manager and assistant hotel manager made up bogus evidence in order to keep my deposit which they have no right to do since I did nothing wrong, there was no smoking in the room and the fact that there was tobacco in the trash can means literally nothing. You can see both myself and my boyfriend walk outside there was a camera right outside the door. Anytime we wanted to smoke a cigarette. I didn't even hit a vape pen, light a match, candle, nothing. And I tried to talk to whoever inspected my room on multiple occasions only to be informed they weren't available and they could not provide me with any idea of when they would be available. Spend your money somewhere else where the staff doesn't make up lies to scam you out of your money.
Christian Young
03:05 04 Mar 21
We liked this place BUT it certainly wasn't worth the $14 a person to see maybe 15 cars and 40 motorcycles. It was neat and they were nice but it was real disappointing. If you go, buy a all day pass and go see all the museums. I'm sure that would be worth it. Young kids would hate this place and teenagers MAY like it if they are in to cars...

Checking in and out was super simple and fast, we received an excellent rate due to buying the rooms up front and as a nonrefundable transaction. I rate it at 3 stars because anytime I requested anything for the room such as plunger or towels or blankets it would be hours and sometimes nonexistent, we had to search for maintenance crews ourselves. The location however is phenomenal, its about 10-15minutes from just about anything you could want for food or fun shopping centers, and the road in front makes a great jog in the morning! Extremely pet friendly rooms, all tile flooring and a DEEP tub!
Doggy bag stations across the property and some grassy patches made it easy as well. All in all no actual complaints, it was a very pleasant stay, and the people we talked to were all friendly.

Kings Inn is one of the Best Deals in Town during the week. Rooms are nice and modern. Rooms are clean. Kid friendly and the Pool is nice and clean. The A/C and heating is 100 times better than anyplace that has an in-the-window or under-the-window unit. Best of all no riff raff on the property.

Amazing!! Wonderful staff, clean rooms, comfortable rooms, heated pool, and delicious breakfast spot!!! I am so so so happy with my stay (especially after staying in an overpriced “4-star” hotel that ended up being dingy the night before). Perfect location to go to the beach or the zoo. We accidentally got locked out at 9pm and the person at the front desk made us a new key no problem after verifying my identity. I felt very comfortable here.

All in all I enjoyed my stay. The hotel was safe and clean. However, there was a strange smell in my room (284) which may have come from the a/c unit. Even after checking out the smell was still in my luggage. The staff was super friendly and the housekeepers make sure you don't want for anything! I would've given 5 stars had it not been for the smell.

Safe. Excellent service. Outdoor pool heated to 80 degrees at all times!! Awesome during the week as less kids. Concierge at the front desk is the best. This young man has things under control! Negatives: Good luck ever getting into either restaurant next to the hotel. Always packed. No continental breakfast. Very small bathroom/bathing area. No microwave in the room. Would still recommend!

The place was well kept. Our first room was promised to have a patio. As it turns out, NONE of their rooms have a patio. While we were waiting for an answer, another guest (a complete stranger) entered our room with his own key. Needless to say, we were disturbed by this and were given an "upgraded" room. The second room was freshly painted, ground floor and had a new fridge plus a sitting corner. The guy working at the front desk was apologetic and kind. I seriously doubt we will go back. It wasn't horrible, but I would rather spend the same amount of money elsewhere for a more comfortable and place.

This hotel was awesome. My organization held two events here and the experience was one of the best I've ever had working with a hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always there to help. Not once did I have to go looking for someone to help me. The rooms were great. Clean and modern. I would say the only downside if they don't have room services for lunch and dinner. I will definitely stay here again.

We stayed for three nights. There were pros and cons during our stay. The location is great close to everything. The staff was very friendly and professional. The room itself was a little disappointing. The paint above the headboard was chipped in a few places which was noticible because it was an aqua color and white where the paint was chipped. The bathtub finish was chipped off and had rust stains, and the bathroom floor was dirty. Overall the room was clean, the linens were good, we had plenty of clean towels, and they offer maid service everyday if you want it. The grounds and pool area was clean and well kept. It was hard to find parking at night though. While the room was not fancy I felt it was a good value for what we paid.

Stayed for 3 nights for an impromptu family vacation. For the price, the rooms were as expected. Nothing fancy, but were very clean. Only suggestion would be is to for them to replace the pillows or just bring your own. Probably the best service I’ve had though, even in comparison to high end hotels I’ve stayed at. Needed to call the lobby a few times for little items and they brought them up to quickly and pleasantly. All the staff was extremely friendly & due to an issue with the a/c not working fully (was tolerable, but not cold) they unexpectedly discounted my charges! Would definitely stay here again.

Dwayne saved me from what would of been a bad vacation. I was unknowingly staying at a filthy hotel. I searched online for nicer hotels in the area and came upon this. Dwayne gave me a rate and I rushed right over. This place was awesome and CLEAN!!! My only complaint is the dirty curtains in the bathroom. Other wise this place rocks. Parking was easy, pool view, food on site. I WOULD RECOMMEND TO OTHERS.

Dwayne who works the front desk. Saved us from what could of been a bad vacation. We were going to stay at a hotel that was completely filthy and unclassy. Then we did some searching online and found Kings Inn at 12 midnight. Dwayne gave us a rate and told us to make it before 2am and that we could be checked in. This hotel exceeded all expectation. We love the vintage vibe. It was CLEAN for the most part. the bathroom curtains were a little dirty but the bed was clean. The provided 2 blankets, a table with chairs and lots of food options. There were people cleaning the pool seats, how wonderful! Parking was easy and we could get to our room with no problem. I would stay here again. We had a nice view of the pool.

Most places were closing their pools at 6pm/8pm etc.. And the zoo is about 4 miles or so. Another nice things is they strictly enforce the whole facility being non smoking. The room itself is modern, clean and nice! Would def come back again. CONS: Only downside would be no microwave in room. So if your trying to save a couple bucks, that may be a no go. Although not sure if it was just my room itself. Another downside was Roku was not setup and had to settle for cable channels. PRO: Room has a mini fridge.

Is a nice area, pool is open even is not in most other places. My issue is the bathroom, there's no room. I am a fluffy woman and it was so uncomfortable for me. To even sit on the toilet let alone try to get dress in there..

Very pleased with my stay. My husband & I stayed here for 4 days in the king size bed room. The room was clean & the employees provided excellent service. I found it odd that my room didn’t come with a microwave. I’m not sure if others do or not. That’s my only thing though, it just needed a microwave. Overall, I was very comfortable with this hotel. I also love how affordable it is. I will be returning again. 🙂

Good menu with a lot of variety to choose from. Kids will love it. They don't have a seniors menu or discount. Friendly and attentive service. Food was good and filling.

I picked this place for a family vacation based on photos and reviews. We pulled in and my husband was a bit skeptical because it's not your standard Hilton or Best Western. We all fell in love with the place over the 6 days we stayed there and have agreed this is our go-to next time we stay in San Diego. The location is perfect, pool is great, rooms are clean and crisp, hospitality was very helpful and friendly. I have nothing bad to say about this hotel.

My rating is based on the category of lodging I would put this place in. That being said, this is a great mid-level motel/hotel. If you want a rare 70s vibe with updated amenities then this place will make your dreams come true. There are 2 on site restaurants and a liquor/convenience store next door. The only one within at least a mile of the location (the store) is open till 2am daily. The price is usually the middle average compared to most of the places in the area. You'll have to do your research to decide what's worth it to you but this is definitely a suitable option for most people's needs. Free wifi that offers a decent connection. Parking can be sparse but it is free and available. Just know that you might not be so close to your room.

I had a wonderful accommodation that I had in this hotel. The service was indeed satisfying. The whole place was so neat and clean. Especially, the room where I stayed was spaciously clean. The bathroom was so clean as well. The breakfast that they had provided was o delicious and satisfying. I would give this hotel a 5-star rating!

Honest friendliest staff at the front desk. I had left my wallet outside on the bench while eating at the restaurant. The staff went out of their way to contact me by facebook and through my company credit card. I had cash inside all was returned. I offered a tip but they would not take it... Your kindness is so appreciated! There's good people here I highly recommend Thank you thank you thank you!!!

We felt like a Royalty during our 30th Anniversary stay at the hotel. From the moment we arrived, we know exactly this hotel was special. From the concierge that opened our taxi door through to the wonderful reception team. The bed is like sleeping on a cloud wish I could have taken it home with me! I will surely recommend this hotel to all of my friends.

We had to travel to San Diego for a medical procedure at UCSD. Kings Inn is 5 minutes up the hill. Very reasonable price, very clean rooms.
Great staff. Only caveat is "large bodied" people will find the bathroom very small.

Stayed here for approximately 2 to 3 months (work related). Management and the staff are nice, polite and attentive.
I mainly stayed in one room while I was there, but periodically had to move to a different room. The one room I stayed in was great. The other rooms were a bit small for me, but I was fine.
The restaurants had good food and gave you large portions.
All in all... I give The Kings Inn a 4.5 out of 5. There's always room for improvement, but are pretty damn close to perfection.
Thanks!!!
