Knights Inn Edmonton South

There were blood spots on the blanket and bedsheet. The place was filthy and smelled strongly of marijuana and dirt. I nearly threw up. Since cancellations weren’t allowed, I left my $220 behind and went to another hotel. They act like they’re good, yet charge what the good places charge. It should be $40 a night, no joke.

We tried to save a few bucks and really regret it. Sleep was nearly impossible with people running around and yelling at all hours, along with ambulances and police. Our neighbor sat in his doorway shirtless, smoking and drinking, and other guests offered us weed. Don’t do it.

The room was dirty and completely outdated, and the place was loud enough that I didn’t feel safe staying there. Staff were unhelpful, close to rude. They charged me over $75 for a tiny stain on the sheets that would have come out with Spray and Wash. It was overpriced and felt like a rip off. What they have going for them is taking a cash deposit, then preying on people who can’t afford it and taking advantage. I don’t know anyone, myself included, who got a full deposit back. You’re lucky to get even part of it. Stay clear if you have any other options.

My husband and I left five minutes after entering the room, but at least we got our deposit back. The rooms look nothing like the advertised pictures. They were run down and filthy, with badly stained furniture and beds. There was a band aid stuck to the armchair, and they used a cheap comforter as a blanket. I wouldn’t be surprised if the mattress had bedbugs. The room reeked of smoke and who knows what else. I didn’t want to touch anything, even the door handles, and fruit flies were buzzing around. Some shady looking people were standing outside smoking too. Nasty place. I wish I’d taken photos of that dumpster hole. Please spend your money somewhere else.
