Knights Inn Lancaster, Lancaster

In a pinch and needed a place for the night,everything was booked but this place so in we went. What a mistake. The room was terribly dirty,it was so bad that I didnt want to touch the light switch or the doorknob,upon waking up in the morning we saw how bad it really was,the mirrors were so streaked and dirty it literally made me sick that we had stayed there. NEVER AGAIN dont stay here....for your health.....YUCK

This was the worsed visit ever, totally ruined our visit to lancaster. We were told we could check in at one pm, When we went to check in at 3:15 pm the room was not ready. The room was dirty, the attempt at cleaning was pathetic. They changed the sheets but the blankets and spreads were dirty and had holes in them.I had to argue for 15 minutes to get them replaced the manager said they don't change them. The man made one pass between the beds and at the end of the bed when vacuming, the floor was still dirty and trash was on floor around the beds. The want to be air conditioning was full of dust. The frig. was iced over with 3 inches of ice and no door on the freezer part of the frig. Counters not clean, chairs full of dust. The bathroom walls and falling apart. Bathroom shower knob falling off, difficult to adjust water temp, because of it. We watched them clean bathroom floor with a papertowel. Were afraid to walk on floor without shoes. The building does not have an elevator or ramps, it is not dissability accessable. the person with me has aheart condition, after discovering that no elavator was available I asked to be moved off the 3rd floor the manager would not do it. This hotel manager said if we didn't like it check out. We would have but there wasn't any with a room available, I called 8 places. I had to be at a show an hour later and I didn't find somewhere else to stay. I called the corp. office and sept. of tourism for lancaster because this was so bad.

OK, I am in this place right now. Luckily, for one night only or I would die. I will start with the bathroom. It does have running water or I would have called it an upgraded outhouse. You have to hold the handle down on the toilet for about 30 seconds for the thing to flush. The tub has hairs in it and is grimey. I scrubbed it but the water still has not gone down. The vanity countertop is nice but is dirty. The vanity door is falling off. The tray that the ice bucket sits on has blue sticky goo all over it. The wallpaper is pieced together... I don't mean that you can see that strips off paper I mean that it is put up with some areas that are maybe 12inches by 18 inches (where a strip should be). It also has parts that have peeled off and have not been replaced. The floor tiles are nice but they are dirty. The ceiling is a drop ceiling that was painted and now the paint is peeling and chipping off! It still has one of those sun lamps from the 70's in the bathroom. The room itself smells. I can't even describe it as I have never smelled anything like it before and hope I never do again. The wallpaper is dirty but doesn't seem old or too beaten up. The windows are really bad, like they haven't been cleaned in months. The window sill has peeling paint which I would say is a big issue if you have young children as I know this is an older building (It used to be the Lincoln Lodge Motel 20+ years ago) and I would worry about lead paint residue. The desk is big and is actually clean and has 2 chairs that are a bit worn but clean. There is no iron nor an ironing board as the website states. Also, there is no alarm clock as advertised either. The beds are terribly hard and the pillows are flat and old. The bedspreads and drapes are very old, faded and outdated. The refridgerator was useless as it was ice-laden and needed to be defrosted. The telephone did not work however they did have someone come switch it out for a newer phone. The new one is maybe from the 80's as opposed to the older 1970's model! The lighting is awful. It is so dark in here it isn't funny. The cable TV wire comes in from next to the door and is "covered" by a curtain rod with tape on the back of it! The electric outlet that the light between the beds plugs into is missing. It is just a hole in the wall. The A?C unit is nasty with dust. Oh, and the peep hole in the door.... you can see into the room through as well as out. There were also envelopes left on top of the dresser. (I hope they aren't expecting a tip)! I am looking out to the pool area which is awful. The pool does look clean but it has a liner in it. I have never seen an inground pool with a liner. I have one at my house and it is all tile. The deepest is 4 1/2 ft. There are old chairs out there. The concrete deck around the pool is painted but the paint is all peeling there too! A man staying in an adjacent room was sleeping with his door half open. He was partially covered by the sheets but you could see his "tighty whiteys" sticking out. I had to move my daughter past there quickly. I am so furious! Finally, the staff is not very friendly. They seemed annoyed over the phone problem. Oh well. Please, don't waste you money. It is an awful place and potentially dangerous as well. I will be contacting the building inspector and corperate because this place is scary. I stayed here over 20 years ago when it was the Lincoln Lodge and it was really nice and affordable. I always had a great experience. As for me, this is going to be a sleepless night. Hubby has to sleep as we have a long drive tomorrow and my daughter has to sleep. I just don't feel safe here. This is a filthy, dirty, scary and possibly dangerous and hazardous place. Stay safe and don't stay here.

I've stayed here over 7 times before I moved to Lancaster. The rate is good and the people are nice, wireless internet is reliable, place is clean. The beds are very hard, the pillows are flat and hard. i brought my own pillow and that helped 95 percent. The power in the room I always requested was odd but workable with a surge. Across the street is a Friendlys restaurant and the local pizza place delivered (pops i think is the name). Worth what was paid, best rate I could find in town on and off season. VERY easy on and off of Hwy 30 (where all the shopping and eating goes on).

We just returned from this hotel after a week and we will NOT be returning. The shower had mold on the ceiling, the room smelled really bad, there were ants, one of the nights we heard voices outside our room the next morning there was vomit right outside our front window, the outdoor light fixtures did not work, my husband had to go to the office and get bulbs and replace them himself. Then when we found undergarments, dirty towels and a filthy pillow in a cabinet. Please use this hotel as a VERY last resort!!!!!

THESE places are ridiculous!! It seems like the SAME family owns ALL THESE HOTELS--they all have the same furniture, tv's nad stained carpets.. They dont know how to clean.. No one understands English!! There are bugs, etc... Its like staying in Beirut during a 'WAR'.... Ridiculous... And at $80.00 on a weeknight!!!

I will never go back to this place ever... I have never been anywhere on vacation that I was absolutely terrified to be at, as I was staying here.. screens pulled from the windows, broken windows on the bottom level, grass over grown all around the place, the pool area disgusting... the place was filthy, and wreaked of a terrible odor(thank goodness I brought Lysol, I used the whole can in 2 nights!!).. this was not a pleasurable vacation to say the least... I am glad I am home, safe and sound....
