. We couldn't stop laughing at the bathroom and the worn out Outlets, everything you plugged in fell out .Nothing terrible, just amusing .hot water lasted maybe a minute or two,that was the only reall unfortunate issue . VERY CLEAN and comical. Parking is hilarious. Not a bad place if you dont expect much. Staff was great.

Bathroom was very small. Sink was leeking but they fixed pretty quick. Beds were comfy. Con./breakfast was 🍌 and very small muffins. Coffee and thats about it. Ive had better. Parking was close to room. If you just want a place to crash for a night or 2 it will work.

Located perfectly for walking distance to the bridge. It's a typical "motel". Not much choice for breakfast. The staff was nice. Parking was easy and the location was very convenient.

Odd odor, not much of amenities. Beds seemed clean and were comfortable. Not a bad place just to hang your hat overnight. The biggest irritation was that people parked in front of our door which affected ease of loading and unloading. Perhaps designate the parking spots with room numbers.

Overall this is a really nice place to stay. We like it since it's close to everything and is pet friendly. We can park the car & really not move it the entire time we are there. The room we stayed in could use some updating, but I heard they did put new carpet in the single bed rooms. Unfortunately, those are not pet friendly because of the new carpet. Some of the towels were stained, but if guests were more careful, I'm sure that wouldn't happen in the first place. The best part besides location, I would say is the staff. Very friendly and helpful and allowed us an early check in.

The property shows lots of deferred maintenance. The room needs deeper cleaning. There were cobwebs, the tub was in bad shape & the bathroom ceiling fan needs a good vacuuming (see picture). Curtains were riddled with bare spots. For the price, I expected more. It was a bed. I don't recommend.

Sink was clogged. Toilet handle went in circles. More rust than chrome on the toilet paper holder. Shower stained and moldy. Entire bathroom smaller than those found on cruise ships. HVAC unit was ineffective. I did not expect elegance from a budget motel, but this did not meet minimum expectations. I would not recommend.

The ceiling tiles in the bathroom were full of mold which I'm didn't see the night I checked in. I'm still dealing with the after affects of that. The shower tiles also had mold in them. It was quite shocking when I opened the shower curtain in the morning. I complained at check out and they didn't even apologize or say they would correct it

The location of the hotel was good. The room we got was dirty. Black stains on carpet and was never vacuumed. Dirty towels on the bathroom floor. Ceiling tiles pulled up with water spots, like the carpenters didn't complete the job.Asked for clean towels, the cleaning help don't clean until we leave. They never cleaned when the previous people left. Had to go get clean towels when we saw the cleaning people outside. No soap. No kleenex. The only good thing was the mattress was nice but the room smelled old and musty. I guess you get what you pay for.

One of my visits to the front desk, when someone finally come to the front dest it was a young kid. He could NOT answer questions because I don't think he know englist that well. I will NOT stay at the Knights Inn ever again and will recommend to others NOT to stay also.

Our rooms (two couples) were not ready after the suggested check-in time. the included breakfast was an unpleasant joke. There is no sit-down room for breakfast! The breakfast is "continental" a tray of small muffins and coffee.a toaster next to the check-in counter to make toast that you are supposed to take to your room to eat! Advertising "free breakfast" is definetely false advertising
