This is a great place to stay if you are visiting Pinnacles West National Park as we were, prob find another town unless you need this location. This property is definitely the best place to stay in this area. Everything was clean and well maintained. The lady checking us in was very nice. The room was roomy and clean. Shower worked well and the bed was foam and we slept well, but we had our own pillows. The pillows there are covered in plastic stuff then a pillow case, and that would've been a rough sleep to use those. Property was quiet for us. The price is definitely high because of the location, so be prepared for that. read more

BEDBUG found light flicking on and off all night long was out in room 9 with my two kids and this room is nothing like the pictures it hasn't been updated the headboards are from the 80's with dirty brown head stains and holes. Holes in the wall that bugs come out of. Never again!!!!!! And would not refund or move rooms for us! Horrible customer service!!!!! Can't believe they thought this room was acceptable. Unbelievable! Apparently the other half of the hotel rooms were updated but not mine. Crappy creepy horrible room!!! read more

We stayed there for access to the Pinnacles park west entrance, and it's fine for that purpose. Having a Starbucks that opens at 4:30 am a half-mile away is a big bonus for early hikers (though the park entrance doesn't open until 7 am, I think). It's a budget hotel facing a highway, so you have to set your expectations low. It's terribly overpriced because the only competition comes from other budget properties on the same noisy strip. Including taxes and fees, our room cost $185 for a single weekday night. This was more than our motel in Santa Monica, San Simeon, or Berkeley, each of which is a much more popular place to visit, but which has far more accommodations choices. But the room was clean, and the bed was firm. Shower worked fine. Floor is some type of fake tile, which is smart because it feels much cleaner than a carpet that's been spilled on 300 days a year. read more

Me and my family checked into this Motel and we were assigned room 9 and as soon as we walked into the room you can tell from one look this room has not been cleaned since the early 90s!!! I payed 350$ for 2 nights and is very disgusting. The chairs looked like they had 4 big Mac grease all over them it was very nasty. The head board had brown huge spots and ROACHES!!!! That live in the headboard and holes in the wall that go who knows where, Me and wife were hugely disappointed because we could barely get any sleep knowing there might be any other bugs in the bed and even my daughter was bit by bedbugs.... Me and my family were kept up all night only getting maximum 1 hour of sleep and had to check out the MORNING after!!! it was unacceptable and I did not get a full refund!!! Even the staff didn't care and even said it's acceptable!!!!! If I could I would give this place 0 stars read more

Last weekend my family went to see my husband's sister in Soledad (not the prison). We had to get a room to stay overnight. It was very hard to find a motel or hotel for the night in Soledad. In the past we have stayed at the Harvest Inn. Unfortunately, they went out of business during the pandemic. However, a new motel chain bought it called Motel 6. We were pleasantly surprised at all the updates and changes that were made. Motel 6 is the new name for the hotel. The room was affordable. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. Our only problem was the beds were very firm. (A little too firm for me personally.) However, everyone had a good nights sleep anyway. We had a wonderful visit with our family. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Next visit we will stay here again. read more

After driving through the night we were tired and could not find a place that would accept us since it was already past 2am. We finally came across this place. And what a great find! Janice who checked us in made our check in experience so pleasant. Such a sweet lady. The room was as perfect. Property was clean and well kept. Not that I come through this area very often, but if I did I would def return read more

Worst room I've ever stayed in for just shy of $150!! Tiny pillowcases barely cover the pillows, the blanket is sooo thin, from dollar general or 99¢ store, idk. Comforter circa 1972 polyester ugly. Mattress ancient & cheap, nearly felt the springs. This all would be A'OK if I paid $60-70, pushing it at $80. Room's clean but so so meager & sad for the price. I slept in my clothes, coat & socks, you would too. The first room didn't even have headboards for the beds. Jennifer moved us to a room with headboards after complaining. read more

I stayed here unexpectedly after not feeling well after a hike in Pinnacles and needing to rest. The room was really nice and comfortable! It was very clean; the mattress was very comfortable; the pillows, sheets, and blankets were cozy and nice; the towels felt good. It had all the basic amenities you would hope for: fridge, microwave, heat/AC, TV, hair dryer, and nice standard toiletries (including separate shampoo and conditioner, body wash, and lotion). It also had a nice table and chairs, and the room was a decent size. I'd stay here again for sure. read more

I am glad I didn't stay here. I went to check the Rooms are too small, don't look clean, and don't look comfortable. I would be afraid to stay here. starting for the front desk. read more

I wouldn't recommend you spend a lot of time here, the rooms have terrible old beds, the walls and ceilings are paper thin, the rooms haven't been updated in years, the tv is 20 years old. The good points would be that there is free internet, a small refrigerator and a microwave, cable tv. read more

Soledad Motel 8 - Hotels Near Me - Soledad, California

I wonder what draws people to Soledad. As far as I can tell there's not much to see or do during the week other than using the town as a base for a trip to the Pinnacles. I made a reservation and I was surprised that there were only a few rooms left when I did. This motel was packed every room was occupied and it's not small motel. The room was clean basic and the bed was comfortable. The TV was big enough that I could watch the sexy men on Dancing With the Stars dance around without their shirts so I was happy with that. There are also microwaves and refrigerators in the rooms. The most important thing for me on this trip was a wake up call. The phone rang promptly at 4:30 in the morning I was able to get up and go where I needed to go and be on time. If I'm able to go on this Workshop again next year I will stay here: the rates were more reasonable than they are next door and the people are friendly in the office. My only complaint would be that I think that there must be a drag strip behind the motel because cars seem to raise up and down all night with loud mufflers and motors. read more

A must stay if in the area!! Always clean and friendly staff!! Spacious room worth your money family friendly!!!

If I could I would give a negative star. First of all this room is so small you can hardly move around, so old and everything is falling apart, but I could live with that. It's what comes next, it's 100 degrees and when I walked into my room and turned on the air it blew hot air. I right away told the girl at the desk who constantly made excuses, she just said, well I only have smoking left. Long story short, they are rude and do nothing to help the situation. It was Labor Day weekend so nothing was available anywhere or I would have left. I finally asked if they had a fan or something and they had the nerve to ask for a 20.00 deposit and I had to come up and get the fan. This place is the worst and I would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Our stay here was great. Room was nice and big enough for our family. There was an old school boxed tv with Direct tv cable, small fridge and microwave. Restroom was stocked with towels and was clean and pretty big. This hotel isn't luxurious but felt cozy. Its in a oerfect spot... In front of the freeway, taco bell, carls jr, McDonald's and other eating spots. Theres also Foods Co where you can pick up some groceries if ur staying for more than a night. Gas station is only around the corner w a car wash....I would come back. read more

It's clean, friendly, spacious with a frig and microwave. My hubby needs to conduct two hours lecture through zoom. Internet is not fast enough in the room; the desk helped him in the back office, which was successful. The clerk is super friendly, accommodating, and helpful. Next door is the pretty good windmill restaurant. Happy staying here. read more

It is what it is...an inexpensive motel right off of the 101. Yes, the décor and the bedspread are dated. The heater/air conditioning unit is a bit loud. The television is a box. But so what? I was able to get a AAA rate for $67 (including tax) for one night. The woman behind the front desk was nice, the room was clean and the premises felt safe. Very convenient for travelers heading up or down the 101. This place is a-ok for budget travelers. read more

Day 3 of my road trip to San Fran!! Stayed here just to rest and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. Checked for bed bugs right when I came in because of the other review but nope! Everything was A-ok. The TV isn't the greatest and the decor isn't the best either but for the price it was extremely solid. Even gave me a late checkout! On to San Fran! read more

Soledad Motel 8 - Bed - Hotels Near Me - Soledad, California

A little slow to write my review. I stayed here last weekend while visiting my husband. I give 5 stars due to the cleanliness of the room and to my surprise when gone for most of the day I came back to a clean room. Its a smaller hotel which I like the when I checked the receptionist (sorry dont know your name) in front was very friendly. Its located near lots of different places to eat and right off the 101. The price for my was not bad either. Only out point I would say is that some things need to be updated and replaced. If your looking to not spend a whole lot and get a good nights rest this spot is it. read more

My partner and I are staying here now, while visiting the Pinnacles. This is the first time we've stayed here, though we've been to the Pinnacles 3 or 4 times before. We spotted this motel while visiting the park about a month ago, and decided to give it a try. We're really pleased with Soledad Motel 8. This is the most convenient place to stay if you're going to the Pinnacles and you're not looking for luxury. The rooms are very clean, the staff is super friendly, and the hotel is only a 5 minute drive or so from the turn into the park road that leads to the Pinnacles. There is a fridge and microwave in each room, plus a flat screen TV, and they look new. Heater/AC too. If you're looking for luxury, this place might not be for you. The furniture and rug looks a little worn. But everything is neat, clean and convenient. My partner and I travel often and have stayed in a broad variety of places, from beautiful luxury hotels in the U.S. and abroad, to really nice hostels in Europe, to shabby hostels and a dive hotel or two in the U.S.. What's important to us is that the place is priced correctly and meets the standards implied by online descriptions. This has just become our go-to place whenever we visit the Pinnacles. I highly recommend it! read more

I'm not going to lie, when we drove up I was scared. From the outside it looks like a scene from a horror movie, but we were desperate. It was midnight and everywhere else we had checked was full and/or $400+ for a basic room. 1. Don't leave anything valuable in your car. I feel like things would easily be stolen in the parking lot. 2. There isn't a chain lock on the inside of the door. I would have felt much safer with the extra lock rather than just the normal lock and deadbolt. 3. Everything is outdated, which isn't necessarily a problem, but would probably feel nicer all around if it was updated a little. 4. There were a few stains on the ceiling, I don't know from what. 5. The bathroom area, toilet, sink, shower, was all clean. They didn't supply us with enough towels though so make sure you ask for them before going to your room. 6. The beds seemed to be clean and even though I read a review that said there were bed bugs, I didn't see any. We were only staying at this motel because we needed a place to rest for the night before getting back on the road the next morning, which I'm sure is why most people are there. We paid $88 +tax for this room which I believe is decent for what we received. Overall, the motel served it's purpose. read more

J had all the facetime with the staff here, so I can't comment on the service. The rooms were basic (had an almost identical layout to the Stagecoach Inn in Monterey), but neat and clean. I think we paid around $80-100 for one night (including taxes+fees). PROs: - Fridge & microwave in the room - Convenient location - Comfy bed CONs: - Sketchy stains on the furniture (chair upholstery) - Strategic arrangement of furniture to cover holes/tears in the carpeting - Uber sensitive plumbing-- near impossible to get the correct water temp for the shower If you're looking for a place to stay near Pinnacles National Monument, this is a perfectly acceptable motel. Recommend. read more

Great place if you're on a road trip and need a motel to stay overnight. Our room was clean but there were not enough towels for two in the room so we asked and they gave us more than enough. They had orange juice, and OK coffee/ donuts for breakfast. Will stay here again next time I go on a road trip to SF. read more

I'd say do not stay here as we woke up to finding bed bugs. Disgusting feeling knowing these things have possibly crawled on us. Had to go to laundry mat and wash everything we were traveling with. Horrible and down right creepy feeling. We did make the motel aware and they were not apologetic nor did they care to come see what was lurking in the bed. Pay a few more bucks and stay some where else. Note to self ALWAYS examine beds before staying at any hotel/motel. I will for now on! read more

We needed a place to stay while moving in our student to CSUMB. It was also Monterey Car Show. So all the places close to the school were running about $200-$300 a night. This place was on the older side , but it was super clean and the service was great. I would defiantly stay again. Plus they have a little continental breakfast that hits the spot. read more

If you just need a, comfortable, safe place to stay with a clean bathroom, you've found it. It's an inexpensive motel right off the highway & the staff couldn't have been nicer. We actually had reservations at the Valley Harvest Inn next door but our rooms weren't ready & we had a wedding to attend so this place saved the day. The rooms are definitely older & a bit shabby, but it was clean & the bed & pillows were surprisingly comfortable. Yes, I agree with other Yelpers that the A/C wall unit was noisy but it didn't really bother me that much. (Valley Harvest Inn: you should train your staff - not even a small effort was made by your lobby employee to see if our rooms could be ready as promised, what a ridiculous experience that was). read more

There isn't much to say about Soledad Motel 8 other than it is very serviceable. As I assume was the case with many of the guests staying at the motel the night my buddies and I stayed, we needed a place to crash near Pinnacles since there were no camp sites. The 8 was just fine. I had read some reviews about bed bugs, and am happy to report there were none. The room we had worked fine, and my friends and I were well rested for a day of hiking our newest national park the next day. Best part about the hotel was its proximity to La Fuente--solid and affordable Mexican. read more

This is a hotel to rest your body in for a night before heading on to what you are going to do. It was fine and inexpensive and right next to the freeway. Not a Disney hotel by any stretch, but not complete dive either. It was simply a no frills place to crash after a long day on the road. That was all I needed. read more

Clean, quiet, friendly, & safe. Thanks!

I understand with Covid-19 going around things are hard for most businesses. I would not recommend this as a place to stay at, the outside looks nice I give it that. The customer service however from Patty was bad and very passive aggressive. She complained that my signature did not look exactly like my I.D like who's signature is always so perfect?? Anyways She did not want to take any responsibility for the way the room was. When we enter the room we found out as you walked in the room had a nasty odor mixed with old smell. I was like okay can't expect much from a motel so I was like eh I'll let it pass. That wasn't what ticked me off, there was a condom wrapper on the bed that looked like it was just used. When we called she said oh that's housekeeper responsibility, I'll call them and let them know and hung up on me before I could say anything. Waited in the room and she rung back to let me know she switched me rooms. Once I pick up the key , she yells at me very SARCASTICALLY " YOUR WELCOME" Pretty much yelling and making remarks. We ended up just telling her we weren't gonna be staying there since the other room was not clean well. She would not give us a refund or an apology nothing. At that point my friend and I just decided to just say whatever's I'd rather loose money than stay somewhere we're is unsanitary specially right now when you have to take more precautions. Honestly if she would of taken better actions of the issue I would of rated better I hate to give bad reviews but something like this is just too much. read more

Made a reservation weeks ahead of time by phone for a holiday weekend and was told I did not need to give a credit card to hold the room. Called the day before to confirm the reservation and spoke with the same person. I told them I would be in after 9:00pm and was reassured that it would be fine. We arrived at 830pm to be told that the room was given away already. The manager said that because she was not the one who put the reservation in, she wouldn't hold it. She shrugged me off with the excuse that "Kids are so unreliable" which I am assuming is regarding her assistants including the man who had taken my reservation. Terrible customer service. read more

Wonderful People. Clean comfortable rooms. Close to restaurants, CVS, Grocery store, banking and freeway entrance/exit. We had a noisy room next to us and within five minutes of my call to the office, it was quiet. The family that runs the hotel is very concerned with everyone's comfort. The prices are very fair. I waited too long to book my room last time and had to stay elsewhere and paid a third more for cardboard sheets, dirty everything. I book way ahead now. Lesson learned. Best value in Soledad! read more

The staff here is friendly and courteous. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. Have small refrigerators and microwaves. Convenient location. Great "blackout" curtains in the room! We enjoyed our stay here. read more

Nice basic motel. Kinda old, but owners appear to care about it and have upgraded with things like WiFi. Surprisingly quiet considering it is between 101 and the railroad tracks. As someone noted, nice blackout curtains. Front counter staff friendly and helpful (actually he was the owner's son or maybe now the owner). No public ice machine--ask at the front desk for ice. If you're expecting an uber-sanitized chain, you might not be happy here. But if you like funky but clean, you'll love it. read more

So yes, the interiors are a bit older, but this is more than made up by the cleaning efforts and friendliness of the staff. Our room was very clean and we made use of the mini-fridge and microwave. No coffee maker in the room, but we could get coffee (and doughnuts) at the main office. Would definitely stay here again if going back to Pinnacles National Park. read more
