Acceptable place to crash after a Gators game.

Hotel is what you expect, a low cost room in an old hotel in a college town. Two miles north of the stadium, an acceptable stagger back to the room after a Gator's victory.

Knights Inn motel

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything
Location: The location was the only thing that was ok
The Knights Inn needs to be completely renovated, it is totally outdated. The breakfast was a joke. The room was old and in need of repair. I would never stay there again.

Hotel staff always friendly and good value

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
We have stayed here twice and will definitely stay here again. Hotel is older but in good condition. Beds are comfortable. Rooms come with microwave and refrigerator. Staff goes out of their way to accommodate your needs. Good location for visiting anyone at UF. Very quiet. Not on interstate like most chains in Gainesville so you don't have the traffic noise all night. Excellent value.

Basic Room, Disgusting Maintenance

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet, clean
Cons: Poor breakfast, needs maintenance
Even at the low rate, this room was not worth it--I don't know if any maintenance has been done in decades. Peeling paint, peeling wallpaper, water stains, tacky repairs and fabric curtains that need to be trashed. The only reasons I stayed were: Low Price, Clean, Good Bed, No Bedbugs

Economic only

For travelers on a shoestring budget, this is your hotel. Cheap, but that's what you pay for. The bed was lumpy, sunk in the middle. There were roaches at night. I went to ask the desk clerk something and he/she had left a note on the front door saying "I'll return in an hour". An hour passed, no clerk. And on and on. If you just need a bed, that's about all you're going to get. The location was good (close to the university), but the quality was extremely low. Again, you get what you pay for.

Fine for price

Pros: Free Internet, Quiet
It was good for it being the cheapest price. King size bed, fridge, spacious room. A little sketchy but you're in a room so who cares. I think there might have been blood stains on the curtain though...

NEVER AGAIN

THIS IS A RUN DOWN MOTEL. THE ROOM WAS FILTHY, BLACK HAIR IN THE BATHROOM SINK, DRIED URINE STAINS ON THE TOILET. THE HEATER IN THE ROOM WOULD NOT HEAT.

Memories of Howard Johnson's- Alive and Well in Gainesville

The Knights Inn in Gainesville is a recycled, 1950s-vintage Howard Johnson's. The ""Big Red Roof"" is now a ""Big Gray Roof"". The price was right, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept in on the road. The room had a mini-refrigerator and microwave, quiet air conditioning and good lighting. Ok wireless and the TV remote was not chained to the nightstand. Not much to the ""continental breakfast"", but there is a Waffle House 10 minutes away and the grits were hot and ready. I make frequent trips to Gainesville and will definitely use the property again.
