Kings Inn San Diego

Kings Inn San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean and relatively spacious. Cute aesthetic to the hotel where some things are modernized but it keeps a kitchy 50s roadside look to other things. The pool area looked nice and included some toys for kids as well, though we were only there one night so didn't end up using them."
