I have been coming to the Kings in for over 15 years. When my kids were younger, we’d come and stay because the access to the pool is so convenient. We also love the breakfast and dinner on site. I’m now travel often for work and not only is this place fairly priced but it’s so clean and everyone is so nice! The pool is also nicely heated year round! Parking also super convenient!
