I had a great time at Kings Inn. The check in process was efficient and the staff friendly. The hotel was roomy and clean. There was a nice sized pool. Convenience items included a good-sized fridge and microwave. Conveniently located near the freeway and close to shopping, grocery stores and restaurants. Old Town was close by. I recommend and would revisit.
