The pool, the clean rooms

There was no soap at the bathroom sink. There was some body wash in the shower, but there could’ve been a bar of soap at the bathroom sink. Also, I wasn’t real happy about having to pay $15 to park my car next to my room. I’ve never had to do that before. We found out later that you can park free next-door after you unload your car near your room, but that should’ve been told to us at the desk when we signed in. But overall it was good.

I liked the location.

I didn't like that I wasn't informed that parking was an additional fee before I arrived.

The hotel was nice and great location

I didn't like you had to pay $15 per night for parking

We have stayed a few times now and love the location and pool amenities. We didn’t get to use the pool and hot tub this time as we mainly were staying just for the evening and the weather was cooler the day of check out. We like that there are two restaurants and the price of stay is usually very affordable in comparison to other motels.

We had to pay for two vehicles to park since my husband met my daughter and I there after work. $30 to park our vehicles for a one night stay was a little upsetting. Especially since we didn’t get that memo till after we had booked. if you add that to the overall motel price it definitely makes you think if other options are cheaper with that extra charge added on.

The hotel was a bit older but everything worked well. There were people all over working on maintenance and cleaning everyday. The facility was well maintained. The tv had a huge selection also. Everyone working there was friendly, polite and went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed . It was easy to get around the city from the hotel and close to Old Town. The motel stowed our luggage when we got there early before check in time. They also accommodated us with a ground floor room. The refrigerator was larger than the usual cube sized one and worked great. Didn’t use the large pool but the area was fabulous, with a hot tub and another sitting area that was covered allowing you to be out of the sun if you wanted and still enjoy the weather.

My preference was for a firmer bed for my back and I only could get one bar on my cell phone service. I don’t think that is the fault of the hotel.

Hotel Circle to Fashion Valley is a very easy 25 minute walk, with a couple of restaurants on the way. The staff were nice and friendly; having a breakfast place as well as some place for dinner was good. Food is far more than ample. You will get HUGE servings. My particular room was quiet -- even though I was near the freeway. The price you pay is good value for S.D.

The only thing for me was that every now and again a pipe or something would make a strange knocking noise for a few minutes, but then it would subside. But honestly there's really nothing to complain about.

Let’s face it. This isn’t a 50 story on the water property. It’s inexpensive clean extremely accessible fun property, especially for kids. There’s no drama. I’ve been staying there since the 90s and the linens and towels may not come pressed and steamed on a big giant truck. They’re done in house, which makes it even nicer, I’ll continue to stay at the kings inn for all my future visits to San Diego until I can finally move there.

For some reason, our room had a very sewer like odor. Every time we used either the sink to brush our teeth or the toilet or the shower. I’m glad I brought my own bottled water and my own coffee pot, which I normally do, but that is definitely something to look into because it may be related to the recent flood activity you guys had, don’t know, but I do know this was pretty bad and me and my best friend make it down here every year for summer for a week and we were looking at each other like we had the runs or something. It was pretty bad and I don’t think it was limited to just our room.

This is an older style motel that is kept in excellent condition. Checking in and out was friendly and efficient. Parking is convenient. Rooms are large, comforable, impeccably clean with good climate control. The location on San Diego's "Hotel Circle" is reasonably convenient to restaurants and attractions. The property is really well maintained with amazing attention to detail. The on-site restaurant is good for breakfast. This is a very good place to stay in San Diego at a reasonable price.

I wish I didn't have to pay $15 for parking. Other than that, there wasn't anything I disliked.

Clean, however, bathrooms are so small. I did like easy access to old town.

Someone intentionally scratched our vehicle with their initials during the night. Visible security (attendant) would be appreciated.

For the type of hotel it is, it was good. It was clean which is important to me. I forgot my flip flops which I usually use as slippers in hotels and my feet didn't get dirty. The floor felt pretty clean. The bed was comfortable to my daughter and me and the sheets seemed clean. The shower was clean. The bathroom was small but it was fine and worked for us. The area to wash your hands is outside of the part with the toilet and shower which is good because it gives a little more room and someone can use the mirror while someone else is taking a shower/using the toilet. I liked that we could open the widow by the bathroom and let some air in. The area by the hotel was decent. It is near a bunch of other hotels. The freeway is right near the hotel but the windows seem pretty good because I didn't really hear the freeway much in the night and was able to sleep. Of course, that was with the windows shut. lol The breakfast place in the hotel is extra money but worth it because it's really good food for the price. They gave a 10% discount for hotel guests.

I didn't like having to pay $15 a day for parking. Also, I didn't like that the person at the front desk couldn't give me toilet paper, tissue or towels when we ran out in our room. We were going out for the day and I asked for those things. The person at the front desk informed me that we would have to be back by 10:30 PM if we wanted those items. So I had to rush and stress to get back before that time which isn't fun on vacation. I made it back and it was fine but I just wish either the front desk could give out the items or they have someone who can do it at any time. At all other hotels I have stayed at there usually is either someone who can bring these type of items any time or the front desk gives them out. This is just a suggestion. It would really help.
