"Great place."
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 22, 2026 NEW
We enjoyed everything about the place. The tub was very good. the fridge was great, and cute. The heat worked well. The bed was too hard. The restaurant was good. It would be useful for the front desk to warn guests that the restaurant closes early some days. We will be back.

"Comfortable, Clean, and Full of Charm"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 20, 2026 NEW
Enjoyed our stay. Beds are comfortable, room was clean, staff was delightful, location can't be beat, atmosphere was pleasantly nostalgic. The Waffle Spot provided the best breakfast I have had in a long while. We will be back. Two things. 1. The parking fee seems excessive for a "motor lodge". 2. The jacuzzi was great aside from the harsh chemicals. Maybe dial it back a tad as the vapor was pretty overwhelming.

"Great retro hotel with plenty of charm"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 19, 2026 NEW
I usually travel to San Diego for business and look forward to my stay at Kings Inn. It's conveniently located and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Reasonably-priced, clean rooms and I love the retro theme! Has two restaurants on site with a gym pool and hot tub and I can always find someone at the front desk if I have a question. There were problems with the heat during my stay but the staff were quick to remedy the situation. I would definitely recommend!
