9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (1085)
"Would definitely stay here again. Hotel and room were very clean, beds very comfortable. Breakfast was good. Area felt safe, but did have someone knocking repeatedly on our door at 2:20 am one night. Not sure what that was about but was disconcerting. Pool was very warm which was nice. Check in staff was kind and polite. Only complaint was the shower, I don't know if it was the plumbing or the faucet cartridge but it kept going hot and cool during our showers. "

Kings Inn San Diego

2.5 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (3203)
"I booked the Kings Inn mainly looking at the posted reviews that are usually very good. I was in San Diego for a special event and I thought I had booked a "special" hotel. I have to say that I was rather disappointed when I got my first look at the hotel and when we entered the lobby. The state of the lobby sitting area is not as glamorous as the website may suggest: it is quite aged. ALSO I would qualify this hotel as a "retro" hotel but not at all "Art deco" hotel: please fix this...

Should be in the middle, more accessible for everyone. Staff was friendly. Restaurant was good just needs more workers so waiting and being overlooked doesn’t keep happening."
