6/10

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.

4/10

Bed was uncomfortable hurt my back , a towel wasn't clean, bathroom tiles were bad and walls were peeling. wasn't happy.

2/10

Rooms were not maintained at all.. appliances were old and dirty, room smelled bad, wi-fi did not work at all, and bathroom needed major renovations. Pool was closed and had dirty water (possibly mosquito infestation).

4/10

My Husband and I stayed at the Knights Inn, when it was just off Archer by I 75, several years ago. We liked the idea that is was then a one floor motel and that it was very clean. I was very disappointed with Room 157 on 8/19/2016. There were small roaches in the bathroom, I will not stay there again.

6/10

The place was having some internet issues when I got there, but besides that and the smell of 2 of the rooms, this place is in the top 5 of my best morels I've stayed at. Over all it was a really good experience

2/10

The pool didn't work. There wasn't a Continental breakfast, beds were uncomfortable, air conditioner was loud and there were cockroaches and other bugs in the bathroom and on the coffee tray. When we arrived , we went out and bought some bleach to clean the bathtub, which was not clean on the bottom, and wiped down all of the vanity surfaces.

6/10

We were disappointed with the quality of the motel when we first got there. The room was in need of many repairs including the bathroom and the air conditioner. There were three cockroaches in the room when we arrived which I killed! I reported the air conditioner and bug issue to the staff right away and they said they would send someone to address the air conditioner and spray the room for bugs. I didn't report the constantly running toilet but decided it helped block out the noise of my husband snoring. I wondered why their cleaning staff didn't see this running toilet as a problem. We definitely got what we paid for in a motel so I wasn't totally dissatisfied since this is a choice I made.

2/10

It was the worst experiences I have ever had in a hotel. There was one kind of bug in the bathroom and other bugs on top of the refrigerator. The shower was filthy. Several lights in the room did not work. The paint was pealing and the walls where coming apart. We never got a key that worked. We had to wait for someone to let us in the room and they never came back with a working key. We left as fast as possible. We stayed from around 11 at night until 7 in the morning.

4/10

Unpleasant, the smoking smell was too sstrong

4/10

Very old motel but clean considering its age. Has great potential but needs a total make over. Pool is not open is fenced off and filled half way with moldy green water should be drained and filled in for safety and appearance purposes.

2/10

the worse hotel experience of my life. smoking room, extremely dated outdoor carpet on the concrete floor, most of the lights did not work, faucets were leaking and so on. I never removed my clothes and pulled the hood of my sweatshirt over my head so I need not touch the pillows.

4/10

Run down in need of deep clean and revamp.breakfast poor

4/10

I waited until last minute and found a cheap hotel for my trip (punk rock festival), and got what I paid for. The room had a musty mold like smell and was stuffy do to the lack of AC. The bed felt damp and wasn't that comfortable. The bathroom door didn't have a lock on it. I got a non-smoking room with cigarette ashes in it. Window had a bar as a lock. The TV was obsolete and ancient. The staff was friendly. My advice would be for you to spend more money for a nicer hotel since the few extra bucks would be more than worth it.

2/10

For $80+ a night they should do a much better job with upkeep. There was nothing else in Gainesvillevso we had no choice but to stay here. The cleaning staff does an excellent job keeping the linens, beds, and towels clean, but it is a losing proposition when the place is falling apart.

2/10

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in! The room smelled of urine. It was filthy and old. Do your self a favor--pay a few bucks more somewhere else!

2/10

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.

4/10

Passable

2/10

At check in we could only get one key, despite two of us going in two different directions. Friday night was too exhausted to do anything but collapse in bed, but Saturday night, late, when we returned the room's towels had been changed but bed was still unmade, nothing else had been "cleaned." As I was washing my face, saw a roach on the mirror in the bathroom, and I insisted that we leave, although it was nearly midnight. I was NOT staying in a place that had those critters crawling about. As it was a huge game day in Gainesville, there was no place to stay, so I just drove the three+ hours to West Tampa/Clearwater. Have stayed at another Knights Inn in Orlando when our son graduated from Rollins, and that was clean, not upscale, but clean. This was creepy and dirty. Even the door knob to the hallway had been replaced, with insulation stuffed into the hole that was otherwise exposed to the outside. Neighborhood was scary, but the hotel itself, filled with fans for the game, was not much of a threat. Just the hotel room itself was a threat, filthy, needs a major overhaul or needs to be torn down.

2/10

It's an absolute dump. Only reason we stayed is because it was the last room in town. I'll sleep in car next time!

2/10

Do not stay here unless you have no other options. It is a very old, dirty hotel. The "breakfast" was a joke. I needed to sanitize my whole body after sleeping there.

4/10

The is dated motel with old TV's in the rooms. It is in a good location from the UF and the room was clean and the staff was friendly. The showers had excellent water pressure.

4/10

I wasn't expecting a nice hotel, but I always expect a hotel to be clean, & this was far from clean. The outside of the building was cleaner then the room inside.

2/10

I am a thirty year Army veteran and I have been to many third world nations; and this hotel is the worst I have ever seen. Although the staff members are courteous, the hotel's condition is borderline condemnable. The hotel was built in the late 1950's or early 1960's and has probably not ever had a renovation. The room was disgusting and reeked of pet and smoke odors. The furniture is probably the original furniture. The bathroom's toilet would not stop running and the sink had a leak. The shower was so disgusting, my wife would not take a shower in it. I would have checked out after walking into the room, but there were no other rooms available in my area. I have laid my head to rest in some unique places over my Army career, but never one as bad as this hotel. Unless you are desperate, do not book at this hotel.

2/10

I wish I could post the pictures I took of the disgusting fridge that hasn't been cleaned in months. The microwave was disgusting, I'm not sure if it was mold but there's black stuff on the walls in the bathroom.

2/10

If you are accustomed to renting a hotel room by the hour, you will feel right at home in this establishment.
