you definitely get what you pay for! the best part is the view of the river and both bridges - the sun sets beautifully behind the hills on the other side of the ohio.
room itself wasn't awful - had seen a lot of reviews suggesting there were bedbugs and other pests, this was not my experience. nor was there a significant odor of cigarettes in the room. the sink and the shower were both clean and the mini fridge was in fine shape.
not to say the room was in pristine condition. for instance, there was a small handprint burned(?) into the rug of my room, there was plenty of dust and dirt in the corners and the toilet could use a more rigorous once over. still, the location is walkable, the staff was accommodating and i never felt unsafe at any point in the motel or the surrounding area.
that being said, i'm a fairly low maintenance guy in his late 20's who needed a room in a pinch and the knights inn worked fine for 2 nights. i wouldn't necessarily recommend it to families with young children or people with more discerning tastes than i.
full disclosure - i dig leave my bags outside the room as i went in and to do a pretty thorough check of the room with a flashlight for those alleged bed bugs. can't be too careful.
