Reviews of McKnight Hotel describe an ongoing, large-scale renovation with significant service disruptions, mixed room conditions, and variable cleanliness, producing a stay that ranges from acceptable budget value to uncomfortable or unsafe-feeling, depending on room assignment and expectations.
Many amenities are closed or unreliable, including the pool and gym; elevators can be down, and ice/vending are often empty; breakfast is a small grab-and-go bag rather than a hot buffet. Cleanliness and upkeep are inconsistent, with repeated reports of strong odors, stains, mold, and construction debris, though a minority received clean, comfortable rooms. Staff are often friendly and helpful, but availability and professionalism vary; the location is convenient to downtown and stadiums, though access and signage can be difficult at night. Best for budget travelers who can tolerate uneven conditions and few extras.

Facilities
Renovations significantly limit amenities: the pool is often closed, elevators can be unreliable, and ice/vending are frequently empty or out of order. A few reviews note handy free guest laundry, but overall facilities are very limited.

The hotel is just a shell of its self. No vending machines, few working ice machines. Work needs to be done on the whole operation NO Pool working. Our second room was clean and the toilet worked fine unlike the first room.

I booked three rooms at this location to be close to an event I and my family were attending. I also picked this hotel because the web site said there was breakfast served and a pool. Only after we arrived we were informed the pool was closed, and there would be no breakfast, and not even an ice machine. We could not adjust the air-conditioning in one room. Bed frame was broken in another room. Just overall, very disappointing.

Be warned - hotel is under MAJOR construction. Most services aren't available like pool, gym, food. Hallways stink and construction debris and supplies are all around building. Room itself was nice and quiet. Overall I suggest not staying here until construction is done, which is a long way off. There are other hotels right next to this one.

Pool was supposed to be open in May, but still not by late June and no warning in listing. They said "yeah, we should probably change that". We specifically wanted a pool. "Breakfast" was 2 fruit bars and a cup of orange slices in a paper bag. Vending machines completely empty. Ice machine produces 1/2 ice, 1/2 water, but only if upu shake it like mad. Then there are the apparently permanent residents always hanging near the doors in their smoking groups. Run. Away.

It appears thag the hotel was recently switched from a Hampton Inn Hotel into an independent hotel (tarp over Hampton sign with temporary sign out front). The pool was closed, the ice machine and one of the elevators was not fully operating. The room itself was not terribly clean.

the room was super dirty — trash left obviously on counter from previous booking, hairs everywhere, super dirty carpet, obviously unwashed bedding. i avoided the bath towels completely. the ac unit looked like it had caught fire once? and proceeded to dump all condensation into the carpet. i bet there’s mold all over that place. i quite literally just needed a bed to sleep in, so i sucked it up and slept in a little ball in the cleanest corner of the bed. BAD!!!

What looked to be large stains all over carpets in hallways. Half the doors were broken in or didn’t have doorknobs. The smell of urine outside our room was so strong it gave me a headache. Immediately checked out didn’t spend more than 10 minutes there. Most vile disgusting place I’ve ever witnessed

Checked in got room, Went to 4th floor whole floor hallway was not airconditioned and was 85 degrees. Opened room and it had not been cleaned after last guest. There was puke by the elevator on the 4th floor. Went back down and got another room again on the 4th floor as they did not have very many rooms left. All the way at the end of the hallway and there was no lighting at the end it was dark. Room was slightly worn but clean and the AC worked good. Was ok for just one night but would not stay there again. There were questionable people hanging around, escorts??? Druggies???

The hotel was hard to find at night, as they didn't have a sign that lights up. In the first room they gave me, the toilet didn't flush. In my second room, the stopper in the sink didn't open so the sink filled up with water when I was brushing my teeth. The room itself was a decent size, it was clean enough and the bed was comfortable. But the signage with my room number was written on paper with a magic marker. The hotel is good for the price, but it needs renovation and some sprucing up.

I checked in Sunday. After 3 different room changes we finally got a room with working ac and toilet. The hallways don’t have ac either and smell. This is a non smoking hotel but everything smells like smoke. The sheets were very stained and dirty. The only positive was the man at the front desk who was very patient and accommodating. Won’t stay here again

I made a reservation, five days in avance of the date of my reservation. They never mentioned that they had a check in time limit, meaning there’s a certain time to check in. They’re open until 6:30 pm, I got there around 8:30 pm and saw the front desk closed and a sign with an emergency number. I called the number and explained my situation, and they rudely told” oh we’re sorry there’s nothing we can do and also there aren’t any clean rooms for tonight” I just think that was very ridiculous and inconsiderable. PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL!

The facility is not too bad, a bit rundown, but clean. Located off a busy street, that is one way. What one can expect for the price.

Lots of construction in the area, not their fault. Many restaurants to chose from though once you got there!

The area is a bit tough to navigate with construction. Previous Hampton Inn sign to be replaced. Grab n go breakfast back was not too bad if your not too hungry.

Mediocre. Not as good as a Hampton Inn. Light on Sign out front was out, making it hard to find at night. Breakfast was a brown bag with water, bar, and fruit cup. Seemed a joke in the big former breakfast dining area.

Second time staying here. It's a no-frills place, but nice for the price. Room was clean and had a mini-fridge but no microwave. Front desk people were all friendly. Free coffee/tea/hot chocolate in lobby, and free box breakfast in mornings. Close to downtown Pittsburgh (and Pittsburgh Zoo). Pool was nice (but a bit of sand in patches at bottom). Looks like a decent gym next to pool, but I didn't use it. For the price and location, we had no complaints about either of our stays.

The grab and go breakfast was not very good: 2 nutri-grain bars and a prepackaged fruit cup in a paper bag.

Pool was supposed to be open in May, but still not by late June and no warning in listing. They said "yeah, we should probably change that". We specifically wanted a pool. "Breakfast" was 2 fruit bars and a cup of orange slices in a paper bag. Vending machines completely empty. Ice machine produces 1/2 ice, 1/2 water, but only if upu shake it like mad. Then there are the apparently permanent residents always hanging near the doors in their smoking groups. Run. Away.

They are renovating this property. The hot breakfast is not available. The breakfast is a bag with a bottle of water, granola bar and fruit cup. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I guess that makes up for the breakfast. The bathroom needs updated, water in the shower is cold unless it’s later in the day. The bed is comfortable. I’m sure it will be much better after the renovation is completed.

The hotel is in the middle of major renovations. No mention of this on any of the websites. No front desk only a phone number to call. Attendant had to let you into your room, key card system was down. The place is a mess. Seems this property has been purchased by Holiday Inn Express. About 10 rooms in the back of the building were available. Other guests I talked to had no idea the construction was going on. Holiday Inn should be ashamed of themselves. Don't stay here anytime soon.

It is a fully active construction site and totally unsecure. Ladders, plaster, boards, buckets galore to trip over amid dust and debris, all to be walked through to get to your room of peeling wallpaper and a dysfunctional toilet. There is no one attending the front desk most of the time, so any old person off the street is able to come in and help themselves to the hotel. You also cannot make a left into or out of the parking lot which is extremely inconvenient as well. Never have had such a jarring experience at a hotel. They should not be able to operate in such a way, someone is going to get hurt.
