The room was very clean, but had a musty smell which was quite bothersome. It was also noisy at night because you can hear traffic and the ac in the room kicks on and off which kept me awake. There were also people in the parking lot in the back of a pickup truck drinking.

Check in was friendly and efficient. Room was spotlessly clean. The bed was comfortable, the in room a/c was quiet, and there were all the extras: clean coffee maker with coffee, iron and board, hair dryer, shower curtain that bowed away from the tub so as not to stick to your body, and plenty of cable television channels with a good quality television.

While our room was relatively clean, this was not a very comfortable stay. The A/C unit in the room was off when we arrived, and our stay was during the Summer, meaning the room was over 90 degrees at 1am. It took a full hour to cool down. The bedding is also very uncomfortable. The comforter felt like a curtain that had been draped over the bed. The quality of the toiletries leaves much to be desired. The staff was nice, but google advertised a free breakfast and there is no breakfast offered.

There was some kind of noise throughout the night. I think it had to do with the plumbing. Rooms are dated and shabby but clean. Linens are cheap and worn. The Car i parked next to had a shattered window and there were people literally lurking in the shadows around the stairs when i took my bags in. Wouldn’t recommend.

The value received for the price paid was exceptional. I knew i wasn't booking a 5 Star hotel. I wanted something clean, comfortable, and affordable. That is exactly what i got at Knight's Inn. The staff were personable and polite. Each member I meet greeted me with a smile and asked if there was anything I needed or wanted. I will definitely stay again.

When my boyfriend and I arrived at the front desk, we were met with a less than pleasant experience. We patiently waited for a few minutes, unsure if anyone had noticed our presence. After waiting for a while, we decided to ring the doorbell to alert someone of our arrival. Instead of a warm greeting, we were met with a loud and abrupt yell from the lady at the front desk, shouting "Over here!" Her tone was harsh and unwelcoming, which made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. We were taken aback by her rudeness, as we had simply been trying to get her attention in a polite manner. This encounter left a negative impression on us, and we felt that her behavior was unprofessional and unnecessary. A little bit of kindness and patience would have gone a long way in making our experience more pleasant. thank god we only stayed a night…

Great stay and clean property. Easy check in and out. a few questionable characters walking around that may or may not be staying there but they didnt bother anyone. The entrance was somewhat tricky as apple maps was not aware of the turn off from the main road. Good thing was it was near the main strip for all your restaurants and shopping needs and close to downtown area. All and all would definitely stay again when visiting

There is only one stairwell leading to the upstairs and the first night only cost 52 plus 10.00 pet deposit but i decided to stay over one more night and they charged me 80.00 plus 10.00 for my puppy and we only had one bed. The room was not worth 90.00 for only one bed and even if there were two beds, there is no coffee pot in the rooms and the motel doesnt offer coffee or breakfast. I would not pay 90.00 again at this hotel.

Decent room - especially for the price. It was clean and relatively comfortable. The location is good and close to restaurants and not too far from the local mall. The only disappointment was that they did not have any type of breakfast, even though it was stated on Hotels.com that they did. They need to remove that and then there's no expectation of a breakfast.

I've stayed here multiple times in Waco. It's not fancy or upscale, but scores in every category that matters to me--including price. As a single senior traveling alone, I never felt unsafe. (I should probably add that I grew up in Waco and know my way around.) The room was very clean and quiet, and there's a great Mexican restaurant right next door. Will stay here again/
