What guests think

At Knights Inn Brooklyn Sunset Park, travelers note budget-friendly rates and easy access to the subway, but many reviews report significant cleanliness problems, including roaches and mold, alongside various building issues.

Service feedback is mixed: several guests praise friendly, helpful front-desk staff, while others cite rude interactions, reservation mishaps, and intrusive housekeeping. Facilities are basic, with very limited parking, no breakfast, and reports of smoke smells despite a non-smoking policy. Rooms are small and dated, with frequent noise and underperforming Wi-Fi or TVs. Expect a no-frills stay suited to budget-focused travelers who can tolerate trade-offs.

Toilet made lots of noise after flushing. Room not as clean as I would have liked. Very limited parking. Free wifi did not work very well. The person working at the front desk was pleasant and helpful. For the cost of this hotel it was underwhelming.

Shockingly overpriced, Knights Inn teeters on the edge between urban street chic and flop house. It\'s obviously being used as "temporary" housing for families with adults and kids who never seem to sleep. The rooms are very down at the heel, furnished with worn out stuff, thread bare linen, and very tired climate control. The staff however is friendly and responsive, and the five car garage with a locking entrance door is a comfort, once you\'ve squeezed in.

The room was very comfortable and very clean. However they did not have continental breakfast after paying almost $700 for three nights. There was banging constantly coming from upstairs all night long and I could not connect to the WiFi.

I guess you cannot expect too much for 100$ a night in NYC... but still. No on-site parking available. There are car parks nearby, but it's between 40 and 60$ per day, and I definitely wouldn't street park because of the neighborhood The hotel really needs some renovations and is generally in poor condition. The room was not very clean. No breakfast. Only convenience: the subway (D) is within a few minutes walking distance. Only stayed one day and then moved into the Holiday Inn across the street. More expensive but better comfort and clean rooms.

No hot water. Nothing was done to help. Was told hot water needed a couple hours to come back but never got hot only cold water. No heat. No wifi. On Christmas day this was the worse hotel experience I ever had.

The staff was great, but this was supposed to be a smoke-free property; however, the property seemed like the headquarters for smokers.

There were very limited food options around the property. There was a lot of warehouses and other small businesses around the property. The bed was ok. There were cockroaches in the room and the floor was a little dirty. The front desk staff didn't seem to understand some of the guests and got people confused.

I have no idea how this place could justify the cost for the experience. Horribly small sized rooms, dirty, extremely dated decor, faulty electricity in the bathroom, broken hair dryer, horrible looking garage space, etc. Even in NYC, I’d expect this to be a bottom priced hotel. Front desk people were fine enough.

If you are looking for a more authentic NY experience, this place would be perfect. Not sure if it has anything to do with me being from a rural area but the noise was a bit overwhelming. Phones ringing loudly in the middle of the night and cleaning ladies working late with little to no regard for sleeping guests.

It was honestly a nice little stay, they could however do some very small simple things to improve the rooms. A good deep cleaning, replacing missing or damaged outlet covers, repainting trimming, replacing the cheap glitchy TV with a cheap not glitchy TV. It was nice that there were plenty of USB outlets, that's frankly an issue I've had with several hotels I've stayed at recently, surprising in this day and age. Overall good for a cheap emergency stay.

I booked two rooms, one under my name and the other under my colleague. He went to check in @5pm. They said they don't have the reservations. After showing them the ref # & confirmation email, still can't find. after 20 min, they find under my name but would not let my colleague check in because I'm not there. He leaves, tells them to forget it. I get a call @1am asking if we're still coming, I tell them about the earlier fiasco and they apologize but they have found both reservations. I tell them, it's 1AM, are you kidding me?! STAY AWAY!!! HORRIBLE!!!

I had a good experience. Traveling is becoming to be so expensive. So to find a hotel that is a 3 star hotel especially in New York for a less than $250 for one night. Is a reward. It was clean and the 2 guys in the office were cool.

WOW! All things considered, I’ve stayed over the past year at a few random, with a Google search, affordable hotels for unplanned over night stays in the Brooklyn / NYC areas. Adding this hotel 1st time stay this year stood out among many others. In that I was treated really nicely from my initial inquire via a phone call follow-up after just booking on line via EXPEDIA. To a go out of the way receptionist at an early morning hour who made sure personally I was literally guided into an inside the clean building’s parking spot — It was truly beyond regular customer service for the star level that this affordable hotel is categorized. HIGHLY and BRAVO RECOMMENDED! It will become my go to place in the hood. Thank you!

Decent budget pick. Ac, tv, bed, microwave, mini fridge were all great. Only thing I didn't like was that room service came in every day (there didn't seem to be a "do not disturb" sign to hang anywhere), and they changed the towels but didn't leave any extra soap. I'm talking those tiny little squares that cost under a dollar. So you need your own shampoo, and if staying more than 1-2 days your own body wash. Also saw one or two water bugs but those are fairly common...so idk. The area is ok but I didn't find many food options that really intrigued me. I had to travel for most stuff and that involved at least one transfer every time. But you may find it suitable that's a little subjective.
