The first sign of things to come was the duct tape across room numbers to the right of the Office. Should have cancelled then.
There was a toilet seat that swung to the right every time I used it, nearly causing me to fall.
There were dead bugs on the bathroom floor!
Apparently, the room had not been cleaned, just the bedding changed, as there was a lot of dust. I seriously was afraid I would get bedbugs, but I was already checked in. Seeing none, I did go to bed but got little sleep due to the noise next door, i.e., doors slamming, people talking. My dog didn't sleep well, either.
I didn't realize the place was so dirty until later in the evening, when I first used the bathroom. After that, I checked around and found dust in several places.
A UPS truck was parked cross-wise across the entrance to my room. When I went back to the office to take the room (which I had not thoroughly examined yet), I informed the woman at the desk. She said she'd call him and have him move it; "he doesn't have to park like that" is what she told me. When I went back to the room, a beat-up car was parked behind the UPS truck, also banning direct entrance to my room. The UPS truck did not move all night, nor did the car.
In the morning, broken glass was stewn across the parking lot in several rooms across from me, as well as what I assumed to be discarded beer cans.
When checking out, I told the foreign-looking man at the desk about the glass, etc., and informed him that I had nothing to do with it. He did apologize, but that seemed to be the extent of his interest in my complaint.
On the way home, I had a flat tire and had to get a new one in Battle Creek..................may have picked up some of that glass at Knights Inn.
My husband and I stayed at this Knights Inn years ago and it was always fine. I wish I had photos to attach!
Looks like it's strictly for low-income weekly renters. Did not feel safe there at all.
I would absolutely never go there again.
