Cool retro vibe at this spot. Each time I encountered hotel staff, they were super friendly and helpful. Asked for a roll away bed and was offered an upgrade in room - I turned it down because we wanted the King, but it was a fine offer that was greatly appreciated. Dined at the Waffle Spot attached to the hotel, it was bomb. Pool area and jacuzzi were excellent. Along "Hotel Circle" which doesn't have a ton of restaurants itself, but it very close to several large groupings of them and the location for seeing all of San Diego area is quite good - easy connections to local highways and close to a lightrail stop where we drove over, parked, and took the "trolley" into downtown. Lighting in the room was kinda weak, but I did enjoy the overall retro feel like the throwback looking (but modern) mini fridge. Only real issue I had was with the CLIENTELE! The whole hotel is non-smoking rooms, but there were certainly some folk trying to smoke just outside a room, or while walking by some rooms. Some of this drifted over into the pool area - not cool smokers, not cool. Overall though, would I stay again? Absolutely. Sir Wafflelot... I'll be back.

The rooms were very nice and well maintained. The staff was very friendly. The check-in process was smooth. I liked the fact that you got a discount at the Waffle Spot. The only slightly disappointing thing was that the shower could have had better water pressure. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

Very cute little hotel! Got a complimentary upgrade maybe because it wasn’t filled to capacity! We stayed in the main building where the lobby is. Was a cute and clean little room! Felt clean. AC was cold at night but we turned on the heat. Wish there were more blankets or a heavier blanket than the thin one provided. But other the. That it was great! Cozy and comfortable! Lovely decor! And wonderful location! Would definitely recommend and stay again! I wish I tried the food.

My husband and I stayed one night and the Kings Inn on 2/1/24. The front desk manager, I can't remember his name was so kind and courteous. Check in was super smooth. Our room was very clean and cozy, bed was comfortable. We had a nice view of the courtyard with pool and hot tub but didn't use it. It was very quiet and safe. We dined at the restaurant on site and had a wonderful experience there too. The staff all went above and beyond to make our vacation experience an exceptional one. Thank you!
