Based on relatively positive reviews, the reasonable cost (average $100/night) and the proximity to Cedar Point, we decided to try out Knight's Inn for the first time.
We wished we hadn't.
My wife and I ordered a King room for our stay. The room did indeed have a king bed with a jacuzzi. However, the room was immediately over the pool and there was very little noise reduction, meaning that even at the other end of room from the door, we could hear the activity. Not only that but the room had the most bizarre configuration - the jacuzzi was separated from the bedroom by a shower curtain...and the jacuzzi was not separated from the commode at all. Therefore, the entire bathroom was separated from the sleeping area by just a shower curtain!
Because of the extremely unusual/unfeasible layout and the noise, we asked to be moved. However, we were told that there was just one room left - a double room. This was on the far side of the hotel complex and at least it was a distance from the pool.
However, again, there was no noise reduction from the walls, so we could hear a lot from the outside. Our room was directly across from a courtyard where a group were having some sort of party in the evening. My wife and I try not to cause problems and understand that people are out to have fun.

Our room was directly across from a courtyard where a group were having some sort of party in the evening. My wife and I try not to cause problems and understand that people are out to have fun. So we didn't complain despite the noise lasting until around midnight.
Once the party stopped however, one person with a large pick-up truck directly outside our room started to idle his truck and occasionally drive around the parking lot for around an hour.
Not only that, but the advertised internet connection was so slow that it was not usable (presumably because we were at the extremity of the complex). On BOTH my laptops, I was able to connect to the service but it was so slow that nothing worked. I inquired at the front desk and was told that they were not having any problems and that the connection bandwidth was probably being used by other guests. This is fine but there should be sufficient bandwidth for ALL users at the hotel to use if it is an advertised service.
Obviously, we woke up in the morning tired and not feeling refreshed at all. We didn't bother to try the breakfast as we were really fed up at the quality of the hotel and didn't think the breakfast would have been worth it. Perhaps it was, we'll never know. We spent the day at Cedar Point and came back at around 10pm - to hear the same part happening outside in the courtyard. We asked...More
