The hotel is great! Gym, pool, rooms, restaurants and clean. Beds comfortable! Parking is only $15 per night. The service desk people are niceish but strangely not very helpful. You will have to call the front desk way more then you need too. Finding your room the first time is not easy because they give you a map and just say go. They could easily walk you through it and you wouldn’t have to call down at all. Then if you ask what they think is a “dumb” question. There was two people there who acted like I was the worst person that ever lived lol I heard them checking in a couple and saying no fighting, screaming of any kind etc. They have security guards going around and felt safe and fine at the hotel!

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.
