According to the photos online, this is supposed to be a “Knights Inn” and the rooms that are pictured probably reflect that time. Period. When the hotel was so labeled. The hotel was disgusting. When you walk in to the front desk, there’s a person station there behind plexiglass, which is no big deal on itself, but there were handwritten signs plastered all over. I checked in received a roll of toilet paper to take with me and if I wanted towels to dry myself off with after a shower, use a washcloth or even a hand towel it was a $10 cash only deposit which I did not have $10 in cash on me and the ATM in the lobby was out of service.. I got my room key went down the hall, which reeked like trash and the carpets were littered with miscellaneous particles of whatever people have charged in from outside as well, as it looks like streaks of black, something embedded into the carpet itself. The room was sparse with hardly anything in it except for a chest of drawers with a TV mounted on top one chair the bed and a side table with a lamp on it. The window had a manual adjusting shower curtain rod up with curtains that look like they have been bought at the dollar store and the bed sheets and blanket were very thin with the pillows in what looks like a hand me down from grandma’s handcrafted collection of pillowcases.. I went back to my car to get something and was confronted by two cockroaches, trying to flee from me (they didn’t make it) terrible place!!!

Needed a place for 3 days for work. Reserved online. Showed up and payed $126.00 and went to room. The had been kicked open and the door barely shut and locked. No chain or bar lock. Just a deadbolt that bare held door closed. No cover on the heater/AC. Just rusted coils showing with a visible gap showing the outside. No chairs, table, no towel, soap or coffee. No coffee anywhere on the premise. After we decided that it would be easier to stay than to try to look for another place that late we had a knock at the door and apparently they under charged me and I had to pay another $22. This isn’t a traveler friendly place. Long term renters. Most of the hotels around are long term. Lots of caos at night. Would not stay again. I’d rather pay more for better atmosphere.
