Our three night stay at the Kings Inn for our family of four was perfect. The property is within a short driving distance to many attractions. The staff was friendly, our room was clean and our kids enjoyed the pool.

We arrived at 2 o’clock, and surprisingly, the front desk didn’t even greet us. When I asked about check-in, the receptionist bluntly said, “We don’t have any available rooms right now, come back later,” which basically meant after 4 PM. We returned at 5 and finally received our key. As soon as we entered the lobby, we were hit by a strong, unpleasant odor—it smelled overwhelmingly like a public restroom. It created an immediate sense of discomfort and made a terrible first impression. I didn’t know the rooms were arranged around a central yard. That setup was fine in theory, but the real issue was the noise. Our neighbors—five people—were talking loudly well into the night, and their TV was on the entire time. We could hear every single word as if they were right in our room. It was impossible to get any sleep. This was by far one of the most uncomfortable stays I’ve ever had. Between the terrible smell at reception, the lack of soundproofing, and the poor customer service, I would not recommend this hotel.

Hotel was conveniently located near a lot of dinning and shopping areas and not to far from the beach. The lobby did have a funky motel smell. We usually stay in more updated hotels, but decided to stay here since it was only for 1 night. Overall night bad, just okay.

We woke up to the bathroom sink overflowing with nasty water from a different room. We asked the staff and they sent a repair person. The only thing they gave us was free parking to make up for this inconvenience but I think we deserved more.

This hotel had nice staff and it was a clean outside area. The beds are really hard and the room was clean enough. We were there for Marine graduation. It was a really good location for being near base and other cool attractions like Sea World and Mission beach.

Room was perfect, however if you get loud neighbors, you can hear everything. Doors slamming and talking. We lucked out the 1st few days, but the last 2 nights we had to sleep with the TV on to drown it out. Pool was good. The front desk and bar employees were great. Laundry room was a plus. Recommended the st floor when available. Kid & Pet friendly.
