Decent if you’re only staying there to sleep but could have been cleaner, found hairs in bath tub, toilet seat dirty, they could do a better job at cleaning for health and safety reasons. Also no microwave available. Only two towels available in room.

I loved the Kings Inn. I love how retro it is. You all did a great job on the room decor. Minimal, but very cool. Beds were clean and comfy. Pillows were good. (We all love a decent pillow)! Room clean. Bathroom clean and well stocked. Loved that mirror!! Towels of decent quality. TV good. (That is important). Personnel outstanding! Thank you for your professionalism and warm help. You were wonderful! Inner pool and hot tub were perfect. Great hot tub! Well kept, beautiful slender majestic palm trees! Plenty of parking! Wish we could have experienced your restaurant, love waffles. Your mexican restaurant got good reviews. Next time I am going to experience both. So unusual to find a good reasonable hotel. Glad we did!!! 😊 Priscilla
