Our Stay

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Kings Inn! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel right at home with their warm greetings of “Welcome Home.” The lobby had such a cozy vibe that it felt like we were stepping into a friend’s house. We actually enjoyed heading up and down the beautiful staircase—it was a highlight for us! Our room was spacious and the bed was super comfy, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring. Plus, it was conveniently located near all the tourist hotspots. We can’t wait to return!
