Sandy at the front desk was great. I did not sleep in my nasty room as I slept at my cousin's house. When I asked the owner to let me check out at noon instead of 11 AM he said no. Then he said he would do me a favor and allow me to check out at 11:30. The majority of rooms are torn up for a renovation and the pavement has huge potholes which a neighbor guest of mine incurred a flat tire by hitting one. The owner told her it was not his fault and to get a lawyer. My room had roaches, missing tiles in the bathroom, missing lightbulbs. The place is a dump!

The water in my shower did not work. No coffee pot, needs dusting. The outside seems like they have been making improvements (large dumpster). The parking lot was clean and recent repair to blacktop had been done. They didn’t have the room available that I requested, so I was given a different one. Employees kids (5 younger ones) running around lobby.

When we arrived for our check-in & got to the room the floor was sticky & dirty. Our shoes stuck to the floor. We had to go buy sanitizing wipes & clean the floor & bathroom ourselves. We also didn't have cold water for the shower our first morning there. The water was so scalding hot it set off the smoke alarm in the room because of the steam. The mattresses were old & the beds were very uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend staying here.

Motel was “run down,” but was under new ownership, and several rooms (20 ) were under renovation. Our first room had damage done to the bathroom door. When we reported it to management he apologized and gave us a different room. I’m fairly certain that this motel will be a decent no frills place to stay once renovations are complete.

I was given a different room where things worked except one ceiling light fixture had not been reassembled. Also though publicity said they offer continental breakfast, they aren't due to renivation. False advertising. I won't be back.

Oh, man. I have never had such a terrible hotel experience! The first room they put me in was quite dirty and secretly infested with bedbugs. I asked to change rooms the next day but ended up in the same situation, only worse. The second room was even dirtier than the first, its bed was caved in, and I woke up to more bites along with blood and bug feces smeared across my pillow. With more than a hundred bites total, I ended up experiencing a bad allergic reaction and ultimately had to be hospitalized. If I had eaten the food that went bad in the fridge that never turned on, I am sure that I would have been worse. So, I paid a couple hundred dollars for a five-nights stay, got eaten alive for two, lost all my food, and then spend the last three days in the hospital only to be refused even a slight refund. I can't believe it!

Booked online through Expedia.com. Photos looked decent for a budget hotel. Called the hotel at 5:30 that night to inform them we would be checking in late because our function was going later than expected. Told it wouldn't be a problem. Checked in about 8:45 pm, paid for the room and proceeded to the room. Walked in and was immediatley overwhelmed by the smell. Noticed the mattresses had collapsed, there were no towels or wash cloths, no nightstand between the beds, there was a shelf with dead insects and an overturned coffee pot with no decanter. The sink was filthy, the lighting was horrible and dim, the curtains were falling off the rod and it was very apparent the place hadn't been cleaned properly in who knows how long. In the room less than 3 minutes. Went back to the front desk and was told we'd have to e-mail the manager to get a refund. 3 e-mails, no contact. Contacted corporate HQ, was told they only licensed the name, not the property, and had limited authority. THE MOST HORRIBLE HOTEL EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD.

Finally, Expedia advertised "breakfast included" as an amenity, but there was only coffee offered.

There is nothing to like about this place. Not all doors to room had locks. A couch was shoved against the door as if that would keep anyone from busting through the door. Felt unsafe and dirty. The room was dimly lit with a funky odor. There were food crumbs on the bathroom counter and I wouldn't be surprised if there were bed bugs. You can spot multiple cops in the area. This is a scene right of a movie. Most importantly I did not feel safe staying at Knights Inn with my family. I am dissatisfied with the service from both hotel and Expedia. I paid $115.26 for one night and after being in that place I felt like my husband, my daughter and my life was in danger. I couldn't risk it, which is why I checked out immediately and requested a refund. The hotel declined my request for half of the refund and Expedia, sorry to say it, but was no help. I got a $50 coupon to use for my next stay. Knights Inn needs an upgrade or taken off the list as a safe place to stay.
