What guests think

Reviews of Knights Inn Franklin, PA describe a very basic, older roadside motel with widely varying experiences, ranging from clean, quiet, low-cost overnights to serious problems with maintenance and cleanliness.

Noted positives include comfortable beds and the ability to park next to your room; the location near restaurants and the hospital is also mentioned. Amenities are limited, with reports of unreliable in‑room Wi‑Fi and a very minimal breakfast often limited to cereal, toast, and coffee. Service feedback ranges from friendly and accommodating to unattended or slow front-desk experiences, and several reviews cite concerns about sliding‑door locks. Expect a no‑frills stopover with significant trade‑offs in upkeep and amenities.

The staff (owner) was helpful. The room was clean enough considering the overall condition of the building and property. The driveway/parking area is in very poor condition and the building/room(s) are in dire need of remodeling/upgrade.

The ice machine didn’t work, but so what I suppose. Convenience store right down the street. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The shower had good pressure. Could’ve used some new caulk around the shower surround, but other than that it was very nice.

Booked 2 nights originally until only about 1 hr into my stay I see a roach crawling the wall next to the bed… I started to look around the room after that and it was disgustingly dirty. Last guests clothes was still behind the chair, room didn’t seem to be cleaned in weeks.. had to argue with the man at the desk to even get my money back for the remaining night that I was definitely not staying.. refused to refund me for the first night even after only being in there for 1 hr. I even brought the roach to the front counter . I was refunded for the second night I booked.

As noted from many other reviews, you get what you pay for. This place is barely holding its head above water before it’s massively renovated or shut down. One staff on shift, I had to search to find to check in, took almost 10 minutes, and I did smell alcohol on her breath. Once I got through check in, it was a quiet night. Probably would stay again.

Scary breakfast!!! Half a box cereal, dorm room fridge had partial qt of old milk, trash can at counter gross with flies. Talked with mgr in morning and called on Monday. Mgr said he was sending a check. He lied. Absolutely the worst. Never send your clients here. I would rate worse than terrible but not an option.!!!

The facility needs some interior work in the restroom. The sink and toilet in my room was old and the drain and flush needed attention. There was only coffee available in the lobby and no other food items. I only stayed two overnights, but the room was not cleaned between those two nights. Check-in and check-out was quick and simple, and the desk clerk was friendly and accommodating. It was convenient having 2 restaurants nearby for meals. The facility is old, but is adequate for short stays in the surrounding areas.

Although the property is older, everything runs great and we didn't have any issues. Just kind of felt like stepping back in time to the 90s. I wouldn't rely on the breakfast for anything substantial but the fresh coffee before we hit the road was nice, and we liked being on the first floor, having access to both the patio and hallway. It was very quiet, and my husband was sad we didn't hear any ghosts.

For the price, we thought we got a good deal. We stayed there before when we came to visit family. We would stay again. The "breakfast" was just coffee, cereal and toast. (The hotel is right beside Kings restaurant if you want more for breakfast.)

I just needed a quiet place to sleep for the night. I paid $99.89 for one night, breakfast was to be included. The front desk area looked dirty, the hallway leading to my room smelled bad. The room looked clean and I did get a good nights rest. Upon awakening, i noticed the towels were old and needed replacing, so do the bed sheets. NO BREAKFAST? why is it listed, so they can charge $25.00 more per night. Look at my pictures of the breakfast bar, they should be ashamed of themselves. It would cost about $20. To buy adozen bananas and oranges, some yogurt and coffee creamer. There were only two slices of white bread and a squeeze bottle of jelly, I wasn't the only guest that was disturbed by this. When I called to ask where is the breakfast, the man on the phone said, would you like a couple of slices of bread.

The hotel was clean and the lone staff I saw was very friendly. Some maintenance needs done as there is a lot of lime buildup on bathroom fixtures and the safety latch on door was missing. The advertised continental breakfast consisted of coffee, cereal, and toast. There was no butter or jelly visible for the toast, and an option of bagel and cream cheese would have been nice. Overall for $79 a night, it was suitable.
