The Soledad Motel 8 is ideally positioned at 1013 Front Street, directly at the corner of the Highway 101 southbound offramp, giving it exceptional visibility to travelers entering Soledad’s rapidly developing southern corridor. The property benefits from steady exposure, supported by an average daily traffic count of 19,282 vehicles along Highway 101.
The motel is also within close reach of Pinnacles National Park, which attracted 354,000 visitors in 2024, many of whom seek convenient lodging options in nearby communities like Soledad. The region’s expanding wine industry—including the increasingly recognized Santa Lucia Highlands—continues to draw tourists for tasting rooms, vineyard tours, and events, further reinforcing long-term hospitality demand.
Significant Upside and Redevelopment Opportunity
Although the motel is currently closed, its 60-room layout and existing infrastructure offer a strong platform for investors looking to relaunch operations, renovate, or reposition. The closure provides an opportunity to update or rebrand without the complexities of disrupting ongoing business. The property also includes a 3-bedroom, 2-bath manager’s house that adds meaningful flexibility. It can remain as on-site housing, be converted into a modern lobby or administrative space, or be redeployed for other uses such as a café, small restaurant, or guest amenity creating additional value and enhancing the overall guest experience.
