For a discount hotel, this place is pretty good. I’ve stayed in worse for more money, and if you’re booking this, you know what you’re getting yourself into. No frills, a coffee maker, fridge/microwave and tons of channels to make up for the view. Best part- a recliner! Decent overall.

First room had used soap bars still in the shower, leaves on the floor and the carpet was horrible! Was asked to be moved, which they did, to a room with bedbugs. Miss P at the front desk was wonderful and I absolutely do not like writing this review but it is what it is. They did refund my total amount which I was grateful for.

We were not at all disappointed with the room but didn’t feel as comfortable as we did our first stay. We have deducted it to being the room set up and the backwards feeling when sleeping. We are hoping to be able to request our first room for every stay from now on.

The staff was friendly but the place was filthy. The floor was so gross I kept my shoes on the whole time. The toilet was leaking all across the floor. The bathroom was freezing so we passed on showering. Beds were not comfortable. It was pet friendly and cheap. The staff was friendly. The area looks like it may not be the safest but that’s was just the impression I got from how poorly run down the place was.

From the moment I walked in, Panel (Hostess) did what customer service is all about.. treated me with the upmost professionalism.. normally my reviews are based on cost, however this time, was different. My reservation was listed, took less than 5 minutes to hand me my key cards, and the place was more than I actually expected. New linens, pillows, place smelled like new, no distractions , disturbances and is the perfect reason I’m returning. Thank you knights Inn, you went above and beyond and I’m very grateful for it

You get what you pay for.

Just the most inexpensive place to stay for a family funeral. In room coffee was ok. Was too late (8:30) for whatever breakfast they had, if they did. Walls were paper thin, listened to my neighbor hack and couch all night. Car doors slamming all night. Heat worked fine. Could have used an extra blanket as mine was paper thin. King room and lots of flat pillows. 2 nice desks but you have to move them to get to power plugs for your devices. Internet was basically unusable, nowhere near todays minimums. You get what you pay for.

It took forever for the guy to come to the counter. I got the room thru Orbitz and rented a king size bed. Was put in the furthest building from the office and when we got to the room in was 2 queen beds. To late and to far to complain. First thing my husband notices is the wires hanging from the ceiling where the smoke alarm was supposed to be. Again it was 2 in the morning and we were exhausted. The floor would have been more comfortable than the sorry excuse was for the beds. The room was so bleak. Said there was a breakfast, when we went to check out there was a basket with a note to put our keys in and a basket with 5 plastic wrapped sorry of an excuse “pastries”. The water had an out of order sign. Again no one around to tell them they got the room wrong and it was missing the smoke alarm. Couldn’t wait to get out of there.

About the only thing this hotel has going for it is the guy who works the front desk/lobby area. He was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. The hotel itself is past the point of being out-dated, the walls were stained and the wallpaper was torn in places, the bed was like sleeping on the road, the bedding had stains on it, and the recliner in the room was worn out and stained.

Cheapest stay in town for a reason

If you're just passing through late at night and simply need a place to sleep, this *might* be ok. However, if you have even moderate level of requirements for comfort and safety, do yourself a favor and sleep in your car.
The good/acceptable: Ashley at the front desk was helpful, nice. Just doing her job. Doors were secure, felt safe in that regard. Towels were clean and I think (probably) the linens were as well.
The bad/unacceptable: rooms were freezing, took about an hour to get both heated and once heated very difficult to regulate thru the night. Smoke detectors had been removed from both rooms! That can't be legal... Nice ashtray sitting outside one room. Carpet left me keeping my shoes nearby. Dead bugs between to adjoining room doors.

This motel mostly served its purpose as I was just in town for an early morning event -just wish I hadn't brought my family along to deal with this. 99% chance I won't stay here again.

We were looking for a cheap hotel for a bicycling trip. We got a good nights sleep and that is what really counts. But there were issues. Bottom of the tub was all bubbled up making it uncomfortable to stand in the shower. One light did not work, and the only shampoo we found was obviously left by a previous guest.
