Perfect for a weekend getaway!!

My sister and I came to San Diego to visit our Father's grave for his birthday. I chose the Kings Inn based off positive reviews and location. The rooms are retro chic and comfortable. We stayed in room 231 and it was nice and quiet. Everything is close by, including the freeway and a ootbof shopping and restaurants. We were Not disappointed. We loved everything from our check in experience to check out. The Waffle Spot was amazing. I had the Banana walnut waffle (see photo) abdvitcwas Delish. My sister ordered the blueberry waffle and it was also delicious. We dined at Amigo Spot Mexican restaurant and again we loved the food, service and drinks. Amaro, at the bar, was very nice and professional. He made a delicious Cadillac margarita. We will be back for another stay. I plan to bring my husband next.

The stay here was ok. Clean rooms. Good size Tv. Close to restaurant. Bad was the bed, hard as sleeping on the floor. No ice machine was broken and it is not convenient at all. Over all ok stay.

Parking is paid...why?

Good place, i just wish they would tell you about the 15 dollar parking before booking. I dont have a problem paying, but it gives a disingenuous vibe...
