Kings Inn

We stayed for two nights and arrived late. The room had a noticeable smell, but we were too tired, so we pretty much ignored it. The floor was covered in thick dirt, which made me wonder why. Although the room looked clean overall, the dirt on the floor looked like no one had ever swept or vacuumed it. We wore slippers the whole time. Since we stayed out most of the time, we just ignored it.

I used this hotel when I went to DistribuTECH 2026 on a business trip. Since this hotel was cheap and not far from the convention center, it was very helpful. Even though the walls were thin, it was not noisy since there were noise rules.

It was safe because it was in the Old Town Hotel Circle and close to the bus stop, so it was easy to move around. You have to eat waffles. I also enjoyed the food I dealt with. I was comfortable and would like to visit again.

This motel is what I would consider "adequate" for a place to lay your head. The mattress was firm, but quite comfortable. The floors were tile, which seemed odd. There is a nice little retro avocado-colored refrigerator which was helpful. The room is very basic. The bathroom was uncomfortably small, as was the tub/shower. If you are a tall guy, duck your head and hold in your arms. The room coffee selection was also pretty disappointing - and there was no tea. Probably the worse thing was the noise. Our room was located just yards away from a busy freeway and the cars and motorcycles roar through the darkness at all hours, and woke us several times. The motel has a nice kidney shaped pool and posted at each gate are signs with diarrhea warnings for the pool water. Nobody was swimming. The real kicker is at the end when they total your bill and add $15 per night to park; and a $10 Fee for this and a $10 fee for that; taxes and more taxes... The people were nice and the room was clean, the location was amazing, wherever we went it seemed it was just a few miles. No frills. adequate, comfortable, very well located.

The location was in Hotel Circle Mission Valley, so right at the center of things and nearby other hotels. The aesthetic of the hotel was very cute. The outside had pretty basic amenities. However, I experienced a pretty bad issue my first day at the hotel. The water was not running. I tell the front desk and they said they the whole building is experiencing no running water because of a pipe burst. The man at the desk reassured me the water would be back within an hour or so. The water came back within the hour. However, the following night the water was not running again. I complain to the front desk and they said it should be back within a short time. When I ran the water it was running black at first. I complain again to the front desk. They mention it's a very old building and they were doing the best they could. They offered 20% off my first night there. The following day I decided to check out. They offered me a full refund for all the unused nights.
