Knights Inn Athens

Hotel

Lady that checked us in was really rude and confrontational she wanted to argue with everyone of us. We had 16 people all together. Smelled disgusting bugs found in bedding, we ran to Walmart to buy cleaning supplies and bedding. Lysol cleaned the rooms top to bottom. We started 2 nights. Wasp nest in door handle got stung 5 times. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Would actually give zero stars but this app doesn't allow it. All the bad reviews are true not worth the money.

Smoke alarm battery died in middle of night, woke us up in the middle of the night. I had to personally disable it in a deep sleep. Not a lot of guest service, breakfast was limited. Get what u pay for!

The room was nice and clean and cozy air conditioner work great the rooms were a little older some of the outlets only had the two prong plugs and you can't plug anything into him cuz they would just fall back out but overall good experience have a nice little breakfast there.

What a crappy place. Service sucked, and the owner/night clerk was the worst. Will never try to stay here again.

Great price and lots of food and shopping near by!

I don't even have to stay there to know that the service is bad. I called 6 times to ask if they had a room available and the Indian person just kept hanging up on me. Total b.

Won't go there again. A little scary.

By far the worst extended experience I've had. The knights has never been a choice of quality but this place deffinetly lowered the bar the staff treats guests like children the from desk lady WILL MOST LIKELY YELL AT YOU. Money has went missing. The staff enter and exit your room at their leisure. Especially! when you are not there! worst hotel ever! when theu cleaned my room the litterally touched everything I own!

I had an extended stay here and the AC unit was horribly loud, the breakfast offerings were so bad that I passed (as a grad student, I don't pass on free food without good reason! ) and housekeeping would periodically decide that the "do not disturb" sign didn't apply. I appreciate the wanting me to have clean towels, but I would have asked for them when I needed them. Stay out of my room!

Great Hotel for the price a little dated but everything worked well and was comfortable.

Super clean. Very comfortable bed.

When I arrived the woman at the front desk was very friendly. The rest of the staff was also friendly. The rooms were clean and the TV was nice sized. I enjoyed how quiet and peaceful it was. When I am in the area I will definitely return.

Beware stay at your own risk! Owner will not give you your Wyndham Rewards points! (Footnote four months later and I have Never heard from her and never got my points)

Was not pleased with this place. Too expensive. 1 bed per room only. Woman at desk quite rude. Knights Inn used to be friendly and comfortable. Not the case here.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for a week in August of 2016. I guess you get what you pay for in terms of the quality of the room. However, it is the woman behind the front desk that really upset me. I have never witnessed such poor customer service in my life. I booked my room 2 months in advanced. I also called the hotel 2 more times within those 2 months in between my arrival. Once, extending my stay and the other I changed the card I had on file. On the night me and my boyfriend were heading out I called to ask what check in time was and the same woman who always answers answered again and as soon as I asked the woman began to yell at me saying "Oh yes you are the one! " I was confused and she went on saying "You call too much. Why do you call so much? " like are serious? I absolutely could not believe it. So when I checked in to the hotel the woman again shouted at me from her desk "Oh yes you are the one! " I was just like "excuse me?! " and she went on about how I called so much and what do I want calling so much like absolutely unbelievable! I personally have worked front desk at a hotel and I know guests can be a pain sometimes but this is just terrible! So yeah if you're gonna stay here do anything and everything you can to avoid speaking to this woman. Her voice is pretty distinct…

A simple and very cheap, but. Nonetheless cozy and nice. Motel. Worth a stay if you're in the area and looking. Also located close to a movie theater and plenty of fast food and restaurants.

Stayed there with a friend from Thursday night through Sunday morning. It was inexpensive. The beds were on the stiffer side, the bathroom had a broken knob (won't close all the way or lock), but it had a large 42" LED LCD TV with a basic cable package. There was also a 3 drawer dresser, mini-fridge, sink, and clean white towels. Would consider again for future stays.

Rude staff. Pretty sure there was a drug dealer slinging next door. I'm sure because the walls are paper thin and I could hear every transaction through out the night.

Good motel. Clean rooms, great service and low prices. Would stay there again.

Rude service. Shower handle fell off, no toothpaste. Hit the super 8 down the street.

Nice place! I have been coming to this town for many years and since past few years I have been staying with knights inn. Very nice lady she owns the place with her son in law. Rooms are very clean and BF is good too more then 2 choices to pick from… They have upgraded lot of things in room! compare to when I use to come back in 2000-2007. Few more upgrade in the room and it would be a prefect stay room. They for sure have very OLD shady phones and they need to replace the old window curtains for sure. Only these 2 things were bothering me in the room. Rest everything was CLEAN very CLEAN. Better then days inn and home town inn. Worth staying for the price and cleaning ness.

Bed bugs. Stayed one night. Room smelled like moldy shoes. The next day I was bitten all over. If you absolutely have to stay here, put your belongings into a tightly sealed garbage bag and leave it in the bathtub, or better, leave everything in your car. Check yourself VERY CAREFULLY before you leave. Bed bugs are what nightmares are made of, and they want to go home with you. One week later, called to tell them that we noticed a problem. The woman on the phone became very defensive and yelled at me that they did not have bugs. I explained that I wasn't looking for a refund, just trying to tell her so they could treat the problem for future guests. She hung up on me. I don't know what business this is, but it isn't hospitality.

Room was clean, but … what breakfast? There was a breakfast room that said 6:30-9:30 but it was locked and no sign of any activity?

This place is better than the Highlander closer to town, but don't expect a 5-star hotel with a pool and gym. I liked my first stay enough to stay there again the following week and again the following year. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the heating unit heats the room well. I saw no bugs and slept nicely. It has free Wi-Fi and a free breakfast. Cons: Traffic can be loud. Some rooms have only two-prong outlets.

Clean but dated. Located close to the trailhead for the Hocking Adena bikeway. Every room has a microwave and fridge but otherwise no frills and the rooms are very dated.

The rooms are clean and comfortable and the heating unit heats the room well. I saw no bugs and slept nicely. It has free Wi-Fi and a free breakfast — just make sure you tell the front desk about what time you plan to eat breakfast because the owner doesn't just leave the room open when there are only a couple of guests. She will open it for you upon request during the posted hours. The only issue was the traffic noise. I live near highways, so the sound doesn't bother me, but it might bother people used to the quietness of more rural areas.

My wife and I stayed there in September 2012 on our way down to North Carolina. It had the things that meant the most to us, clean, fridge, microwave, wireless Internet and decent rate. They provide a nice continental breakfast as part of the package. We felt they were worth it enough to stay there on return route home later that week.

If you want swimming pool, jacuzzi, fitness center then you don't want to go to this place but if you want basic room with comfy bed, nice pillows, clean bathroom, really friendly and efficient service in great location for an affordable price, this is the place to be. We stayed here for 4 day college event. Our stay is perfectly fine. Housekeeper provided room service with clean towels on each day. Manager kept open the breakfast room for till late night. One morning, it ran out from hot water but I understand that there were other rooms are occupied with students due to college event. I waited for few minutes and it started hot water again. Not a big deal! I really enjoyed hot coffee in breakfast room. There are numerous diners and restaurant in the immediate vicinity. We had great stay and would glady return to this establishment.

Clean, comfortable, safe. As a solo female traveler, I stay at the Knights Inn Athens regularly (4 — 5 times per year for the last 9 years). My experience has always been that it is a safe, quiet, clean hotel with friendly, helpful staff. For a value hotel, it is one of my favorites.
