I stayed at the Knights Inn and it was AWESOME! The room was super clean and the bed was so soft I didn’t want to get up. The TV had lots of channels and the Wi-Fi was fast so I could watch YouTube with no problems. The people who work there are the nicest ever! The lady at the front desk smiled and helped us check in fast. Someone even helped carry our bags to the room. They really care and made us feel welcome. The hotel was really quiet at night and I slept like a baby. In the morning, they had free coffee for my parents and everything was clean and nice. If you’re going on a trip, you should totally stay at the Knights Inn. It’s the best hotel I’ve ever been to!

The lady in office was very nice. They have a policy as to where people with dogs all go to the second floor but she made an exception for me and let me be on the first floor right by the door because I have a oxygen machine. The rooms were were average I had to do a little cleaning up for to be comfortable but they were quiet not a lot of riff Raff in the parking lot it was nice and quiet and comfortable.

I've been to this hotel several times in my life, and I've got to say that they're doing an amazing job right now. If you've ever had a negative experience I'd definitely recommend staying again, because they've really made this place into a great place to stay! Wonderful customer service, with very nice employees, a clean and welcoming environment, vending machines and the ability to buy cold drinks at the desk as well, reasonable prices, comfortable beds, and they've done a great job of keeping things like drugs and unsavoury behavior out. This is a clean, warm, safe environment; great job on turning this place into a place people want to stay and focusing on customer satisfaction! ***I'd like to say that they do require a deposit for non-smoking rooms though.($20)

Stayed here for a few weeks while in Dayton and had a great experience. It seems like there may be new ownership, and they’re doing a great job. The rooms were very clean and quiet, and the front desk staff was warm and welcoming. Overall, a well-kept and comfortable place — highly recommend!

The rooms were clean and neat. It was mostly quiet. The hotel staff that checked us in and out was nice and polite. The ac worked and was very cool. Nobody was loud. The beds were nice and comfortable. Just enough light. There were no bugs or anything. A little work was going on when we arrived but were finished before we got back. The room was easy to access. The room key worked great. The tv was nice and clear. Sound was great. Pillows were soft. Should the need arise, I would stay again. Very enjoyable. It also isnt to far from good food.

First thing I noticed when I walked into the hotel was a scent of smoke, which makes sense considering they offer smoking and non-smoking options. My brother and I stopped for the night on our way to Baltimore, so it's really cheap for a quick stay like ours. The beds were comfy enough after a 12 hour drive and though the ceilings are shorter than the average room, it's just what we needed.

Okay so a lot of people don't like this hotel but I personally am a fan if you book it online through one of them hotel apps it's like 50 bucks you can't beat that. the service was absolutely excellent. the night shift guy is Awesome .the room was clean enough for $50 And I didn't have any problems. And the hotel is ducked off to the side on Poe Avenue away from all the traffic and riffraff from Miller lane , it's discreet and secluded and I like that.
