Kings Inn

Clean but basic. Bed was comfortable, scents were strong, there was a fridge but no coffee pot or microwave. Was awakened through the night by noise in the alley, then the trash truck came through before 4am so I just gave up and got up. Location is convenient and the couch sucks. Kind of feels like they started to update but didn’t quite finish. PROS: comfortable bed, clean, small front room and separate bedroom, conveniently located CONS: noisy, no microwave or coffee pot, uncomfortable couch, no chain lock on door (broken), heavily scented

The question that Tripadvisor asks for these reviews is how would you rate your EXPERIENCE, not how you would rate the room. The experience gets a three, the room gets a one. If you book and they offer you room 118, ask for another one. There are a bunch of freshly renovated rooms as you walk past the front of the hotel. Other than being painted over (and over, and over) , room 118 hasn't had any attention in decades. It also is around the back and looks out at a trash alley that appears to service an entire city block. We didn't even check in until after 10pm and heard the trash trucks, then they started again at the crack of dawn with loud crashing noises, yelling, and incessant beeping. Even though Kings Inn is well located for tourism purposes, room 118 was definitely not worth its $125 price tag. However, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the A/C was powerful, there was coffee and tea available in the motel lobby, and the morning desk clerk was delightfully friendly and spinning old-school vinyl with a smile. Those were the experiences that made the review of a night's stay in a tired old room climb from a one to a three.
