Budget savvy travelers dream
Knights Inn is a great hotel to book if you’re trying to watch your money.
The staff are helpful and kind. I would absolutely stay here again.
The WiFi connection could be better, however.

The room was exactly what I paid for. No frills for sure but if you just want a cheap room for the night and aren’t picky about thinks like the smell or is all the paint is completely attached to the wall, then look no further. Friendly staff and the place was quiet. I slept for most of the stay so why pay more?

I am handicapped and they went out to their way to make my stay comfortable. I have stayed at this location for over 25 years and will continue to return as I travel through northwest Indiana.

Rooms were clean but really need to be repaired for wear and tear on walls, doors, flooring. Light between beds didn't have knob to turn it on. Freezer had frozen dirty ice in it. Doors to front counter were locked so you have to converse thru plastic window. Place was quiet which was nice. Close to highway and restaurants. Just needs cosmetic updates.

Reasonable price and value for overnight stay
If you only need a place to sleep for a few hours for a reasonable price and don’t need any amenities, this is a reasonable choice. Stayed just long enough to sleep a few hours. Staff were polite and said staff were available 24/7. First impression pulling in made me uneasy as it is very run down and had a vehicle parked with two flat tires. Libby has a window with a small gap to slide things in and a sign that said no refunds after 15 min, made me a little cautious. I asked to see the room first and he was great about allowing that. Bed Box springs were visibly stained but sheets were clean and the bathroom was clean. The window unit worked and kept the room a comfortable temperature. Had a microwave and mini fridge but we did not use. Had a chain on the door for security.
Overall, the room was worn but functional for our needs. No sign of bugs. Price for the room was reasonable when we only stayed about 8 hours to sleep and back on the road.

Idk what everybody else experienced but I loved it
I’m not gone lie it was a pleasant surprise. Rooms gave studio apartment very comfy and quiet. Sheets were bright white and I didn’t see any bugs my whole stay. Front desk Was super nice and they actually return your deposit. Location is convenient as well there are restaurants and gas stations within walking distance. This will be the only place I stay when I visit this part of town. Thank you guys for the excellent service!

Knights Inn? Should be City Dump!
Absolutely filthy!!! OMG! If I could have went to another place I would have! You are not allowed to even go into the lobby! They have you check in through a back door! Very very hot in the makeshift lobby. At least pretend to care!
Do better Knights Inn! I don't think I could come back!
