Staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Parking was easy and convenient. The noise levels were very low and manageable. My room was clean and neat and had a pretty view of the bridge…but there was a walking path less than 10 feet from my windows, so it was hard to leave them open without people walking by, possibly looking right in my room. The room itself was very dated and needs a refresh. Everything worked fine, but it was cramped with oversized furniture and the mattresses were way too soft for my back. I also kept smelling dog and wondered if someone had a pet in the room prior to my booking. This could be a fun place for someone looking for a retro kind of vibe. Good value for what paid. It just wasn’t for me. 🙏

We LOVED our 4 day stay at Fort Knox Inn! Great location, Great Views, Friendly Staff, comfortable Beds, Great water pressure! We Loved visiting the Fort, The Bridge and walking path by the Inn on our down day. The Bathroom could use a vent, but older building so may not be doable. Not a deal breaker for us. Also, since there is no Continental Breakfast a Kurig Machine or other FREE coffee machine in the lobby in the mornings would be wonderful since the ones in the room are way too small. Or if staying here bring your own coffee machine :) . We would ABSOLUTELY STAY HERE AGAIN!
