What guests think

Reviews for Knights Inn Sterling Heights largely report severe cleanliness and maintenance issues, with many guests finding rooms dirty, poorly maintained, and sometimes infested with pests, alongside noticeable safety concerns and a generally rundown condition across the property.

Repeated complaints highlight missing or inadequate housekeeping, broken fixtures, faulty heating or cooling, and foul odors. Several reviews note the advertised breakfast is not provided or limited to coffee, and Wi-Fi reliability is poor. A few guests mention quiet stays or helpful staff, but these positives are outweighed by frequent negative experiences. Expect a budget stay with significant trade-offs and inconsistent standards.

My room was dirty smells like dog dated very poorly kept bathroom falling apart smh. Opening in door lets bugs in room had to put a towel to try and stop the bugs from getting in room. Also free breakfast is a joke. I would not recommend this place to my enemy. The only good thing i can say about this place is there is free parking

Place was a joke. Only had 1 room available, we viewed it & decided not to stay. It has "full time" occupancy, vehicles torn apart in the parking lot & location is just past industrial area. My visa was still charged.

Blood stains on the bed sheets and the smell was terrible. This place needs a new start, it should be closed right away.

Seen rats in parking lot. The worst was the filthy toilet and floors. Immediately on checking into the room we noticed spotted flooring and dusty dirty floors. Walls were splattered with food and filth and were dusty. Also the toilet was dirty with poop splattered around it. We asked to have the toilet cleaned and the floor mopped while we were out but instead they only swept partially and added an air freshener spray. Not acceptable even for a hotel under renovation. We only stayed one of the two nights we had booked. Will not book this one again.

The room was a "rat hole". It was dirty and un-clean. Pubic hair was in and on the bath tub. The "white" sheets were yellowish and unclean. The rooms was falling apart. Wall covings were peeling. Basically, it was rundown. They need to fire their cleaning staff and hire more competent and less lazy people.

The room was so filthy we quite literally slept in all of our cloths including our sweatshirts. Everything had burn marks in it from cigarettes, drugs, etc. There was old food on the floors. The fact that there was stuff left from previous occupants tells me the rooms don’t actually get cleaned after checkout. The window was open when we got in there and it wouldn’t close all the way and didn’t have a lock on it so anyone could have come in if they wanted to. If it wasn’t 1:30 in the morning and the room wasn’t nonrefundable we definitely wouldn’t have stayed.

Stayed here after a concert in Detroit in November. Check-in was fine and friendly but then we got to the room.. The deadbolt didn’t lock, though the door did lock automatically, which was confusing but fine. The room was pretty dirty and cold, with broken tiles in the bathroom and chipped paint on the wall. It didn’t even look like the room had been vacuumed or surfaces wiped down, so it was tough to feel clean even after washing your hands. Things like stains on the lampshade, no seal around the bottom of the exterior door, cracked window that also didn’t have a lock, knobs missing on the heater (so we were cold half the night), and dirt under the fitted sheet when we checked for bedbugs, though no bedbugs detected, which was a plus. Overall, if given the decision, I would not stay here again; the uncomfortability outweighs the affordability.

Room was rundown. Wallpaper was peeling. There was a large gap when the door closed. I had to put a towel in it to keep out cold air and anything else. It smelled mildewy.

This was the WORST experience I ever had with any reservation. The front desk person couldn’t check me in due to a power outage. The power was on when I arrived and my payment was successful. I came for work MORE than an hour away and was turned away from the property with no compassion in the middle of the night and no where to stay for work the next day. I will never book there again.

Absolutely horrible the base boards were missing, I won’t get in that tub with boots on up to my thighs, it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Areas of the floor were missing and the covers on the beds were so dirty. Large spots of paint were missing on the walls. I could really couldn’t believe they were open for business. The guy at the front desk was very nice he refunded us because I would have just slept in my car. Really Bad!

It was not what the pictures show. It didn't have a free breakfast. People running it speaks very badly English. Had to keep asking what he said. The heater in the he room was set on high no matter where you put the knob too. Had to shut off to stop the heat. One bed looked like it was broke. All I know is I would not go back there or recommend it.

I have had an extremely unsatisfactory experience at this particular hotel. The condition of the sheets was notably poor, exhibiting visible dirt and stains. Furthermore, the surrounding area proved to be unsafe, as it was plagued by constant noise originating from neighboring occupants. The room emitted an overwhelmingly unpleasant odor, and a pervasive presence of mold was observed throughout. In addition, the bed sheets contained noticeable blood stains and were in a generally unclean state. The restroom similarly failed to meet acceptable standards of cleanliness and emitted a highly unpleasant odor. Given these circumstances, I became concerned about the potential health risks associated with my stay. Consequently, I was compelled to seek alternative accommodations at a more suitable hotel. I have photos as a proof of this situation. I kindly request a full refund for my stay at the aforementioned establishment.
