What guests think

At Knights Inn Paxinos, reviews paint a mixed picture: the motel’s convenient location near Knoebels appeals to many, but dated conditions and inconsistent cleanliness—including recurring reports of bugs, stains, and mold—temper overall impressions.

Several guests describe friendly, accommodating staff and occasional quick responses, while others report rude interactions, absent front-desk coverage, and deposit or billing frustrations. Rooms are basic and worn, with maintenance issues noted (hard-to-open doors, loose outlets, antiquated bathrooms), though some mention comfortable beds. Amenities are minimal, with no elevator and limited coffee or breakfast. Expect a no-frills stay prioritizing proximity over polish.

It was good for a nights stay at an inexpensive rate. Room was fine. No frills but was clean. Bathroom antiquated. No elevator if you require that service.

While the rooms appear "clean", there is mold in the shower, the tub wouldnt drain, the shower head was full of grime and mold.. There was next to no amenties. The door to our room was so hard to open my 6'1 husband had to ram it open. The Vending area had severly broken tiles, stacked up dirty boxes. The outlets in our room were falling out of the wall. While I am no stranger to out of date run down hotels, this was like putting lipstick on a pig. With them slapping paint on everything and using dollar store items. Luckily we were only there to sleep and shower.

Ok for a quick overnight while travelling (which was our requirement this time). Reasonably clean but located in what seems to be a repurposed building from years ago. A bit isolated, one modest but decent restaurant nearby.

AC sounded like a old diesel ! Sheets had stains. Front desk person slept on the couch. For ALL rooms it was necessary to use stairs. Area of front desk smelled like kitchen full of burnt food. During the evenings the boom box blared from the front desk area. Coffee dispenser at front desk had ROACHES under it and in sugar .No AC in halls. Fire safety doors in stairwells could not be closed due to deterioration.

Room 111 was disgusting. There was a bug on the bed and a cigarette burn on the comforter. Mold in the bedroom and in the bathroom. I was so grossed out I didn’t unpack, take a shower or brush my teeth. I stayed the night woke up in the morning and checked out faster then I checked in.

We stayed here because it was the closest thing to Knoebels that we could find. The staff was great they let us check in at 9PM instead of 2PM. However, the room was absolutely disgusting. The beds and sheets were stained and ripped. We found two bugs in the beds. We won’t be staying here again.

Dirty, very dusty, could not sit on sofa. Smelled musty cobwebs and spiders on window sill. Upon arrival; Phone did not work, smoke detector was chirping needed battery. Staff was very quick to respond to that. It was the 4th of July, staff was setting off fireworks outside my 1st floor room window and right near my car in the parking lot. Called front desk and asked them to move down the parking lot, they took care of it.

The hotel in of itself was fine. It was relatively clean. Pretty average. However my main issue was the girl running the front desk. She may of been having a bad day but just seemed like helping us was a chore. Like asking for the wifi password didn't come without a sigh and some attitude.

There was absolutely nothing I liked about this place. Was a total dive. I had a bad experience the second I walked in the door. And an even worse experience leaving. Not only was it a dump but I could list about 10 things wrong with this place. To the point I was waiting for my car to get a jump start and the owner made us go outside and wait with my 2 small children in the cold of they threatened to keep my deposit even though nobody was staying there.

Horrible experience, never go to this place ever. The rooms were 1,000 degrees, someone pulled the locks off the doors so they could not be secured from the inside. Strange men were loitering around the place and it reaked of pot and Indian spiced. The owners were very rude. When we explained the issues, they asked why we even booked with them. No excuses and no apologies. When we requested a refund, they flatly refused. Expedia was no help in that they let the hotel make all the decisions. Stayed for 10 mins and was not refunded for anything in a multi day stay. Couldn’t cancel the future days or anything. Never recommend.
