I was looking for a place to stay for a quick getaway and didn't want to spend too much for just one night. For well under $100, the room was large and very clean. It is located just off a main road, but I didn't find the noise to be overwhelming. It was easy to get to all of the Monterey attractions from the motel, although it was a little far to walk anywhere. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. There were some minor issues, such as the bedspread was torn, but for the price, I cannot complain. I would definitely return again.

I stayed one night on a motorcycle trip following Highway 1. I had a pleasant night, so I decided to stay at the same place on the way back, 3 days later.

I got a good deal online for the first night.

Room is clean and comfy, and bath is clean, with good water pressure.
Breakfast was simple (just pastries, muffins and cereal). The breakfast room is small, can have 4 people at any time.

It's located beside Munras Ave (some night traffic), so it can be a little noisy for your taste, but I had no problems sleeping well. It's near a shopping center, but not near Monterey downtown or the ocean. If you have a car or bike it's ok, but don't expect nightlife or similar nearby.

It totally met my needs. Affordable, clean room, in good location to spend the night after visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium and resume the motorcycle trip the following day. On the way back, it was close enough to Point Lobos Reserve, an awesome place to spend a few hours.

It also has a pool, but it was closed this time of the year.

Gigi was really nice on the phone and in person.

In brief:
If the location is ok with you (depending on your trip type and mobility), I do recommend it as a cheap B&B.

We found Knights Inn very comfortable and affordable. Although the room was a little cozy, it was clean and well furnished. The price for the room was fair and reasonable given the location. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Additionally, it was nice to have hot water/coffee and pastries in the morning.

When we checked in, we were given a room that was already occupied! That should have been a clue, and I wish we had left right then.
There were holes in the towels and sheets, a meager breakfast that had to be carried back to the room because of lack of dining space in the office, and Leadfoot living above our room. The Sumo wrestler living upstairs was either dropping bowling balls on the floor, or there was no sound insulation between the floors.
I was dismayed to discover no stopper in the bathroom sink because my contact lens could easily have been lost. Management gave us a mesh trap, but the faulty sink was indicative of the state of the room in general.
