There wasn't anyone at the front desk to sign in (I had to find a person) or when we left. The bathroom needed a complete makeover especially the tub. The sliding glass door to the exterior was not secure. I didn't feel safe. There really was not a continental breakfast. The only things I saw was 3 slices of bread that was there from the day before and some dry cereal.
The room itself was clean. Since we stayed in the back of the building, we didn't hear the main traffic from the street.

I apparently did NOT read the reviews for this hotel before booking. I saw the price, the name, and location and booked it. Bad move on my part.

I am very happy my friend couldn't make it, because I would have been horribly embarrassed!

Confirmed from other reviews:
* The guy at the front office was not nice, wasn't nice to my husband and actually hung up on him after telling him not to call about my room.
* The phone calls the front desk guy and I got a key.
* Overall dingy with very little light in the room.
* The sliding glass door had a peg to keep it closed, was really hard to operate, and I had a hard time getting things in, because the bed is right there.
* It smells like wet moldy dog.
* I didn't identify the dead bug looking thing in the sheets.
* The bathroom looked moldy.
* The breakfast was the worst of my entire trip. (Yeah, someone else got Raisin Bran ... there wasn't enough to dispense, but there was hardly any milk anyway. There were 2 slices of bread and a squeeze bottle of grape jelly.)

These comments seem pretty consistent for 2+ years. If I could have canceled, I 100% would have done so.

Double Plus Ungood.
I will never stay at a Knights Inn again.

A poor excuse for a hotel. The shower and the bathroom sink didn’t work well, the shower curtain was filthy, and the bath towel was the size of a hand towel. There was only one available outlet in the room, and one of the inputs was too loose to hold a plug. The sliding glass door was very hard to open and almost impossible to lock, and the curtain barely reached across the window/door. The staff was practically nonexistent. There were not enough towels, no coffee maker, and the “breakfast” consisted of some slices of white bread (no toaster) and some Frosted Flakes. The only things that worked at all well were the TV, the refrigerator, and the air conditioner. The bed was not particularly comfortable, and there weren’t enough pillows. The room would have been overpriced at half the rate. It may not be fair, as not all Knight’s Inns are necessarily like this one, but we will never make the mistake of staying at this hotel franchise again.

Arrived to unattended front desk where there was a phone to dial 0 for help. Waited 10 minutes for last to arrive to check us in. Check in was an additional 15 minutes. The sliding door in our room, opened from the outside and does not lock. Breakfast offering was 2 varieties of cereal and a half gallon of 3 day expired milk in the refrigerator. The ice machine gave 1 cube of ice but failed to dispense any more. One of the worst hotel experiences I've had.

When I pulled up, the property looked deserted. Called to summon desk to check me in. He was very polite. The top safety latch was missing on my door, which being in the hotel all by myself was a little unnerving. Literally, I was alone with no hotel workers. There was no breakfast set up. I will say that everything looked very clean. Almost looked like they were working to fix up. Paid more then I would have expected for what I got.

We asked for the handicapped room, because I'm disabled and he was trying to give us one on the second floor. He acted like it was a terrible imposition. I tried to ask a few questions and got curt , short answers. I was told we'd have wifi. If l wanted to lay on the floor outside our room in the hall, I was able to get only one rung up on the icon, for a second. Nothing in our room. The bed was hard, pillows old and flat, no tissues or normal toiletries. No information about where ice machine, or breakfast hours... nothing. I'd really like my money back!!!

As noted from many other reviews, you get what you pay for. This place is barely holding its head above water before it’s massively renovated or shut down. One staff on shift, I had to search to find to check in, took almost 10 minutes, and I did smell alcohol on her breath. Once I got through check in, it was a quiet night. Probably would stay again.

Booked 2 nights originally until only about 1 hr into my stay I see a roach crawling the wall next to the bed… I started to look around the room after that and it was disgustingly dirty. Last guests clothes was still behind the chair, room didn’t seem to be cleaned in weeks.. had to argue with the man at the desk to even get my money back for the remaining night that I was definitely not staying.. refused to refund me for the first night even after only being in there for 1 hr. I even brought the roach to the front counter . I was refunded for the second night I booked.

I just needed a quiet place to sleep for the night. I paid $99.89 for one night, breakfast was to be included. The front desk area looked dirty, the hallway leading to my room smelled bad. The room looked clean and I did get a good nights rest. Upon awakening, i noticed the towels were old and needed replacing, so do the bed sheets. NO BREAKFAST? why is it listed, so they can charge $25.00 more per night. Look at my pictures of the breakfast bar, they should be ashamed of themselves. It would cost about $20. To buy adozen bananas and oranges, some yogurt and coffee creamer. There were only two slices of white bread and a squeeze bottle of jelly, I wasn't the only guest that was disturbed by this. When I called to ask where is the breakfast, the man on the phone said, would you like a couple of slices of bread.

Not bad for an overnight stay

We were on second floor FYI there is no elevator. Dragging our luggage with wheels upstairs was chore and created lots of noise. Beds were comfortable had clean linens bathroom could have been cleaner. The stained shower curtain and chipped toilet seat both definitely needs to be replaced. Very sparse amenities did provide soap, tissues and plastic cups, we appreciated having room fridge and small table with chairs. Not sure if food/beverages were offered following morning we had very tasty breakfast at a nextdoor restaurant.

This is an old, tired, sad property straight out of the 1970's. Light over desk didn't work. Drapes over sliding glass door were coming off and were really hard to work. No hand rails in shower area and tub became slippery during shower (which worked fine). Toilet was low and sounded like a 747 was landing when flushed. Bed was fine. Breakfast was like raiding Grandma's kitchen. Two types of cereal, a 1/4 full gallon of milk in the mini-fridge, a toaster on the counter and slices of bread in the breadbox with two plastic containers of jam. The coffee was excellent. The property was clean enough.

The facility needs some interior work in the restroom. The sink and toilet in my room was old and the drain and flush needed attention. There was only coffee available in the lobby and no other food items. I only stayed two overnights, but the room was not cleaned between those two nights. Check-in and check-out was quick and simple, and the desk clerk was friendly and accommodating. It was convenient having 2 restaurants nearby for meals. The facility is old, but is adequate for short stays in the surrounding areas.
