What guests think

Reviews of Knights Inn Phildelphia depict a budget stay with significant issues across multiple areas, while a few guests still considered it acceptable for a quick, quiet overnight or for its convenience to nearby errands and transport.

Cleanliness is frequently criticized, with reports of strong odors, mold or mildew, stained linens, dust, and occasional bedbug concerns. Rooms are generally dated and worn, with broken fixtures, limited outlets, slow Wi-Fi for some, noise from neighbors, and often no in-room fridge or microwave. Service is often described as rude or unhelpful, check-in can be slow, and several guests felt the area and on-site security setup signaled safety concerns. Expect a very bare-bones stopover rather than a comfortable stay.

Bullet proof reception. Whole place smelt like marijuana. Next room over was fighting and banging on the wall, screaming. Bed was a bowl from the sagging, pillows smelt like weed and nasty. Couldn’t handle it, had to leave and go to another hotel. Bad area. Not a family place.

The room 124 was not properly cleaned. I found dust around the A/C, and around edges of the floor, I also found hairs on the tub and bed sheets. Two of the pillows smelled like sweat, and two smelled like baby powder. Which i hope was the fabric softener, otherwise the pillows have not been washed recently. Towels were old and stained. There were two red spots on the toilet which seemed to be dry blood. One good thing was the 24 hours security. I was able to speak to one of them (sadly I did not get his name). This gentleman was extremely professional and helpful.

It was 100 degrees outside and 95 degrees in the lobby. Room had trash on the floor not cleaned from prior tenants. $140.00 for no fridge, no iron. I did not see a "dining area". What I DID SEE was the desk clerk AND "SECURITY GUARD" both asleep with mouths wide open when I came down to check out at 4am Sunday morning(Still dark outside in a rough side of town).

Unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was disappointing. The room had a very strong smell of cigarette smoke, which was unbearable and made it hard to relax or sleep. It was clear that proper cleaning and ventilation had not been done. Additionally, the overall cleanliness of the room left much to be desired — surfaces were dusty, and the bathroom was not well maintained. I expected a much higher standard for the price paid. I would not recommend this hotel and will not be staying here again.

Out of all the hotels I’ve ever stayed at. This has been the worst. Between the room wasn’t clean when I arrived. The lights didn’t work. The light bulbs hanging by the wires. Only one light work. No mini fridges. There was ash all over the bathroom sink. Condoms were in the dresser still so I don’t think room serviced cleaned anything. The only thing they seem to have spent money on is the tv.

The hotel operators should be prevented from listing this online. It was by far, the filthiest hotel I’ve been to. The photos in Expedia are photoshopped, the hotel does look like the images online. I have many photos to prove this. There were people making noise in the hallways all night and morning.

The room smelled like a litter box filled with cat urine. We had to keep the room exceptionally cool, otherwise the smell would be unbearable in the heat. Room was generally really dingy and ill-kept. Mattresses were up on metal boxes and were quite uncomfortable to sleep on. The shower curtain bar fell right off the wall when we tried to close the curtain. The latch on the bathroom door would not allow the door to close all the way. I've spent sub-$60 rates on roadside motel rooms in better condition than this.

Shabby doesn't even begin to describe this hotel. Large palm-sized areas of chipped and missing paint and plaster throughout the room and bathroom, a seriously broken bathroom doorknob, no fridge or microwave, only one outlet near the bed to charge phones and other devices and half of that was taken up by the lamp plug. Thin, dingy sheets and blankets and a random wet spot on the carpet. Would not recommend. We fully expected to get bedbugs, but fortunately did not. So I guess there's that.

I didn’t like anything about the hotel very old low maintenance, no air conditioning in the lobby or through out the building. It was a kings size bed that felt like a box spring, not to mention the it was a twin size headboard up against the bed. Bathroom nasty. Walls were damaged and lack of a clean rag to wash them down. It definitely needs to be up graded

Check in was fine but everything else was down hill. Carpet was damaged, fights inthe next room and in front. Cigarette burns in the blankets, every day had to get my key card fixed because it would stop working. It had a grimey fell all around. Would not go back there. Looked at the pictures again when we were there and realized some of the pics were from a different hotel.

The room was terrible, not clean at all. The carpet was sticky, the bed was like a big box spring (it was not comfortable at all), and there was only one lamp that worked in my room. There was also a noisy couple next door, and when I complained to the front desk about my situation, the man told me there was no vacancy and to "put some earbuds in your ears to block out the sound". I do not recommend this inn, and I am never going back here ever again.

Very Very Terrible stay Paid for a room got there. 2 people was ahead soon as the clerk was done with them he told us to wait 5mins he was clocking out. The next guy comes in and both works just chat for almost 30mins like we wasn’t even there, after they finished talking the clerk does paperwork and gets on the phone we are still waiting to go to our already paid for room. The guy was very very unprofessional un polite and rude. Me and my spouse both came from NY to be treated like to bums off the street.. The only polite person in the facility was the security.. The room it self was very horrifying I thought I was in a gangster movie. Carpet very old and dirty. Either poop or burn marks on the ceiling and walls. I called to ask about how do I cut on the heat 4/6/24 and the front desk was very rude and un polite very aggressive over the phone. So I had to figure it out myself. Help came one hour later after I already figured it out. I will NEVER rent a room from ANY Rodeway Inn anywhere ever again this was a very awful experience and I will not refer anyone to that hotel.. I’m furious and unpleased.

When we arrived, we were told by security that it was shift change and that we were not allowed to check-in for another 45 minutes. Once in our room, the neighboring room was screaming for hours. The parking lot did not feel secure. Property advertised free breakfast (one of the main reasons we chose this poroperty), but there was no breakfast. Security was sleeping in a corner chair when we were leaving in the morning.
