Welcome to one of the top motels in Merritt, BC, the Knights Inn Merritt
The Knights Inn Merritt provides you with clean rooms, friendly service and outstanding value.
“ The service was very caring and special. The room was warm and cozy and the manager called to make sure we were fine. When I needed extra blankets he brought them right away. I asked if he had tea and bless his heart he brought over two boxes of different teas. We had been in accident on the highway and we were traumatized. The next day he helped us, and called a cab for us. Very, very helpful. Thank you.. ”
