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.

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.

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?

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!

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.

The room was OK for $50. The pillows could’ve been a little fluffier and I wasn’t aware that there was a $30 deposit until I get there so maybe they can advertise that so that people can be aware because I thought once I paid that was it thank you

It was a decent hotel for the money. Bed was mediocre, no bugs except the ones that made it through the door gap, poor lighting, tv was poor reception, definitely not winning any remodeling award, took a week to get my deposit back.
