Didn't end up staying. The place was falling apart and I felt like driving until we found another place, or just sleeping in our vehicle was a better option. This is by far the worst place I have ever been led to by Expedia. We checked in, took one look at the room and went back to the office to let them know we were not staying. I left with the understanding that they would be crediting my card back, but that was not the case. Paying $140 for a room we never actually stepped into was still a better option than staying there.

Acceptable place to crash after a Gators game.

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.

Not a good value

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).

Very Disappointed

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.

Looks dumpy but bed is super comfortable.

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

Stay Away

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.

We attended our son's master's program graduation

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.

Horrible

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.

Old motel but clean enough for quick stay

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.

Seriously considered sleeping in my car.

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.

Fest 14 Trip

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.

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.

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.

Game day in Gainesville

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.

It's a dump

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!
