Knights Inn Liberty

This Knight's Inn was a former Howard Johnson that closed in the 1980s and has never been updated. While the staff was pleasant, the hotel seems to be Section 8 housing, as there is a sign at check-in telling all that you must check out after 28 days no exceptions. There were padlocks on many Staff Only doors. No water pressure in the shower. We could not turn off the bathroom light. The furniture and rugs were stained and smelly. All vending had Out of Order signs and were unplugged. Breakfast was fruity cereal, white bread and frozen waffles with an open tub of margarine. A picture is available on request. We stayed because there sere no other choices in the area. It is the pit of despair. It should not accept travelers as guests.

No key card for my room, so I had to use a key with a big padlock when coming and going. The door wouldn’t shut behind me when exiting, so the front desk called maintenance who improvised the door latch, which caused it to be in a permanent open position. Then the only way I could lock the door while in my room is with the interior slide bolt and small chain guard. This place is in pretty poor condition - you get what you pay for. The employees were friendly, but the place was scary! Ha!

The room was clean the water was hot. Breakfast wasn't bad. Our door was locked from the outside via padlock. The hotel was used for public housing with the school bus pulling up for school pickup.

The lock to my door was broken and they had to use a crowbar to open it (twice). The light switch in the bathroom was broken, with wires exposed to possible water incursion. The rug was filthy and puckered. The bed frame was made from old plywood. The desk top was broken. A conduit for electrical lines had fallen from the wall and most of the wiring in the room was put together with extensions cords. The toilet had not been cleaned. The handle on the sink fell off. This is not really a motel; it seems like a crash pad for people down on their luck. The managers were nice, but clueless about maintaining a safe and clean motel room. I left after one night, even though I paid for two nights (no refunds). It was intolerable.

I’m usually not one to leave reviews, but I’d feel terrible not warning people. This place is a HARD NO. The parking lot felt unsafe. The first room they tried to put me in, you had to fight the door to get it to open and close and couldn’t tell if it was locked. The attendant changed my room without any issues and he did seem interested in doing his job well, but this building is a disaster Carpet in the room and in the hallways was beat up, torn and stained. Windows were filthy. Lots of weird stains and hooks and holes in the walls Only 1 light near the bed had a light bulb. The refrigerator had condensation all on the inside and smelled. The toilet clogged easily. The bathroom sink had stains and residue built up Every mirror was dirty with spittle marks The shower towels were stained. The bed was on wood that extended out about 6-8” on each side so everytime you’d get off the bed your leg would hit the wood. There was no way I was sleeping in that bed. I put my own personal blanket down over the comforter and used my own beach towel and my sheet. I just couldn’t wait to wake up so I could leave. They wanted $190 on a Friday night but thankfully the cancelled my reservation bc of a burst pipe. Sunday night was $90 which was still tough to digest. In conclusion, this was the worst room I’ve ever stayed in. I didn’t want to touch anything in the room! And I took my valuables with me when I left for a few hours. I’m embarrassed that I stayed here.

the room stank of mold, bathroom sink covered in soap and shavings air conditioner did not work, mirror in room filthy, piles of garbage all around outside breakfast consisted of cold cereal or toast.

What more can I say that the owners of this establishment doesn’t know. The place is old, filthy, smells poorly, and is unsafe. I don’t know how the department of health allow this place to continue operating. It is clear they take no pride in the place. It was not worth the money they charged. This place sends a clear message that says, they don’t care about their guests. This place should be condemned, no amount of repairs can redeem it. It was a poor, poor experience and I would not recommend anyone stay at this establishment even if it was free. It is unsafe on so many levels.

This property was the worst hotel I have ever stayed; I checked out after one night. The halls, stairways and exterior were filthy. My room was infested with roaches and other insects. I do not believe my shower had been cleaned in months. I strongly recommend Expedia to remove this hotel from its site to protect its customer base. I will not pay for my stay at this property.

Disappointment and disgust started at check-in. Establishment was completely filthy. The smell is unbearable and we could not find any employees.

For the rate that i paid it was well below any sort of standards i thought a hotel would have. The facility as a whole was filthy, and deteriorating. The grounds and parking lots were littered with trash, among other things, and there were several instances where i just felt unsafe. I've paid a third of this price for a room in other places and never had quite this level of a bad property.

cockroaches in the room, the bathroom with fungus in the shower, dirty drawers. faulty room door I will not return, nor do I recommend.

I just have to express how utterly dissatisfied/disgusted with my stay (or rather not stay) since we left because the room was so disgusting that we could not stay. First when we arrived we couldn’t check in. There was a note saying be back in 15 minutes so we had to wait around for someone before we could check in. This was after the 3:00pm check in time. Next I reserved a king room and was told there was only a double room available. We get to the room and there was not a clean surface in the entire room. Floors were sticky. The one bed was propped up by a cinder block. The chairs were stained with god knows what. The freezer was caked with ice that was stained with what looked like blood, like someone had frozen meat in there that leaked all over. The pillows and pillowcases were disgusting. It smelled of smoke even with it being a non smoking room. I wasn’t expecting a five star resort but did expect conditions good enough that I that could sleep there. Instead, we choose to drive home 4 hours (getting home at 3:00am) vs staying there. I have never, in all my years of traveling, left an hotel/motel because I was unable to stay due the conditions. Deplorable.

Where do I start? Nothing about this extremely rundown property should be allowed to be in business. It is extremely filthy, bugs and cockroaches everywhere. Vagrants living on the premises, rooms smell like stale cigarette smoke. Bathroom is unclea, I was scared to shower in that bath.

WORST HOTEL. Dont stay here!!! We had to leave and book another local hotel. Stains on everything. Very strong cigarette scent. Dirty, outdated, smelly, sketchy, DISGUSTING, bugs in the bathroom. We stay in a lot of hotels and we have NEVER seen anything like this. Its cheap for a reason!!! Save yourself the discomfort and stay at the Day's inn up the street!!

We're not coming back to this place. The room smell of cigarette, smoke, dirty, there were cockroaches, cobwebs, insects etc.

Mold in the bathroom, Blood on the walls, broken bed, Burns in the comforter, smell of smoke and nasty conditions not safe. Very unsanitary.

Bugs and cockroaches across beds

This place was awful. I couldn’t believe how filthy the room and bathroom were. Even the room door didn’t function properly. Find another place!

Needs renew bathrooms all rusted I don’t like it

In my experience Knight's Inn is a solid choice but unfortunately not here in Liberty, NY. The desk clerk is absolutely above and beyond with his helpfulness, knowledge and willingness, and I hope this doesn't affect him, but the atmosphere and accommodations are sub-par. It seemed like a drug den with shady clientele who were in and out all night, loud noises and fighting, shower has black mold and a bug (pretty sure a cockroach) running on the nightstand in the morning. Sorry, would have loved to give a different review. After checking in around midnight we attempted to sleep and were checked out before 7am. Waste of money and ill-kept.

The hotel cancelled with no notice from Expedia. Need refund

Desk staff was nice enough. Unfortunately, there were roaches all over, a few big ones but many tiny ones. If it weren't so late and we weren't so tired, we would have gone elsewhere. We took precautions with our belongings and I don't think we brought any roaches home with us.

Truthfully the staff was very pleasant, the tenants were even pleasant nd respectful;yet, by 7pm i had extra , extra company in my room nd beds . So bad that i literally couldn't sleep. Yes im talking about the whole village of cochroaches took over . And the property manager literally came to my room to tell me that , since i checked at noon and was still there by 3:30 am that he refused Expedia to refund my money Well i checked in at 4pm not noonand i was on phone with expedia at 2:30 am got done with Carlos there , he even told me that he couldn't get a hold of the property manager. So who in is lying nd trying to my leg.

I think this is all my fault as never saw the price and should have… really run down and unclean. Staff was nice but…. :(

Disappointment and disgust started at check-in. Establishment was completely filthy. The smell is unbearable and we could not find any employees.

Very friendly people.

Honestly feels like it’s mostly for people who have no other housing and the property is not well maintained

Do not come. You will not feel safe.

We ended up not stayin there,the place was dirty& smelled,seemed to be an unsafe place to stay,would like our money refunded!@

The 4 guys decided the place looked too unsafe to leave our motorcycles and the place was a mess

Drug infested, homeless, prostitution

This is property that seen better days. The bath tube was dirty and chipped and had some sort of caulking that was cleaned up after use and had dried. It was also moldy and dirty. The easy chair was so dirty and dusty it should be tossed. The door would no close unless it was slammed. Breakfast was stale honey Cheerios mixed with rice krispies and some other flake cearal. The sheets were clean which was a saving grace. My bath mat was worn and had holes in it. The outside was dirty and the area between the fist and second floor had unpainted plywood strips which were weathered and the plus starting to separate. Enough for one sitting. It is being used for longer term EBT which is but it should also not be for paying guests.

The room was clean the water was hot. Breakfast wasn't bad. Our door was locked from the outside via padlock. The hotel was used for public housing with the school bus pulling up for school pickup.
