Cheap Hotels & Resorts in San Carlos

"It is a very nice place"

"This motel is on the main road (US-60 or Ash Street) but was quiet during the holiday period. It is ideally situated near Hill Street, which goes into the historic district less than a mile away. Fast food is nearby, as is hiking at Round Mountain Park. El Rey is a self-described "vintage motor court" so looks the part outside. But the interior room was large enough, the bed mostly comfortable, the spacious shower always had hot water, and the wall heater worked well, with the usual humming. The large-screen TV operated fine, though we found that selecting channels and watching programs was overly-complicated. No critters wandering around, the room looked and smelled clean enough. The motel was communicative, messaging us any updates or questions before arriving. The young man at the front desk checked us in quickly and efficiently (note $40 refundable deposit). He had already turned on the fridge/microwave/heater for us, and provided a couple extra pillows when we asked. We appreciated all that. We've stayed in Globe before, it has enough charm and activities around that an older lodging offering good value is sufficient for budget travelers. You might get more if you pay more elsewhere but we would still stay at El Rey again."
