My wife and I crashed at the Carmel Hill Lodge after hiking Big Sur. The motel is strategically located on the southern edge of Monterey, making it an ideal crash site for budget-conscious visitors to the area. The management was friendly and accommodating. Our room had a refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffee pot, so we didn't have to brave... more

Stay here only if everything is booked, and if on a budget. While the front desk person was nice, the room was tired and old. They attempted to put new tile in the bathroom, but that's the only updating that was done. Bed was worn out. Don't be deceived by the "continental breakfast" - all it consists of is dry... more

Room appeared to be recently remodeled. Everything was new and clean and the bed was, in my opinion, very comfortable (this is unusual for me). The staff was courteous, friendly and helpful. It was a really pleasant surprise for the price. more

Hotel is located in a beautiful area with easy access to dining and sight seeing. It is located only 15 minutes from Laguna Seca Raceway. Perfect hotel for race fans. Rooms were clean and the hotel grounds have beautiful landscaping. This is one of the nicest hotesl I've stayed in around this price range (paid $38 a night). Highly recommend... more

I have stayed here a number of times over the last few years. It is consistently one of the least expensive motels on the Monterey Peninsula. While Knights Inn spruced up the place a bit when they took over, there is nothing special to write home about - other than the motel’s location. The motel is convenient to Fisherman’s Warf,... more

It's in the thin-towel class of hotels, but it's OK for $43/night off season. Rooms are recently renovated with cheapest obtainable furniture, clean, and roomy enough. Refrigerator and hair dryer, no microwave or coffee maker. Thin walls--I can hear the people upstairs walking around, and the shower in the neighboring room can serve as an alarm clock. Internet access via... more

I got a great rate so my review may be skewed compared to someone who pays over $65 per night. The room was clean and quiet. They do have internet but it is not wireless (bring a cable). The location is easy to get to but is not walking distance to anything other than a large shopping mall. more

From reading the other reviews I thought I'd give it a try. Boy was that a mistake from a value perspective. This place is definitely not worth the $$ spent. It was dirty, remote didn't work (although they did come and fix it when requested), old scrappy towels, only one towel per person, spiders and a shared kitchen with the... more

This motel is a fantastic value - only $39/night through Orbitz during off season weekdays. Very clean, comfortable and quiet. The room I stayed in was recently renovated. All rooms might not yet be renovated - I'm not sure about that. Located on Munras Avenue where there are quite a few motels one after another. Across the street from a... more
