This has to be one of the worst rooms I've ever stayed in. The pillows were yellowed and looked like they hadn't been replaced in years. The sofa and carpet were covered in stains all over — it was honestly hard to find a clean spot anywhere in the room. The overall cleanliness was so bad that I didn't even feel comfortable taking off my clothes to sleep; I ended up sleeping in my clothes just to feel less exposed to the dirt.
I've stayed in many hotels before, but I have never experienced a room this bad. I would not recommend this place to anyone, and I certainly won't be staying here again.
The room was OK for $50. The pillows could’ve been a little fluffier and I wasn’t aware that there was a $30 deposit until I get there so maybe they can advertise that so that people can be aware because I thought once I paid that was it thank you
The room was so cozy and comfortable. And the staff were very nice and friendly. It was a far out and groovy stay.

Knights Inn is a great hotel to book if you’re trying to watch your money.
The staff are helpful and kind. I would absolutely stay here again.
The WiFi connection could be better, however.
Require $20 dollar deposit on key. Returned key, deposit has not showed up on my card as of a week later.

It was a decent hotel for the money. Bed was mediocre, no bugs except the ones that made it through the door gap, poor lighting, tv was poor reception, definitely not winning any remodeling award, took a week to get my deposit back.

Good location room was adequate for my needs. 20 dollar cash deposit for the key which was refunded in the morning. Would stay again
