Knights Inn

Knights Inn in Seekonk, MA is trying, but it is not there yet.

Although the bedspreads, drapes, shower curtain and artwork are nice, and the pedestal sink in the bathroom is cute; the overall quality of the room in which we stayed was underwhelming. There was a stale old smell, the carpet is old and dark. The drapery rod was bent and hanging down, visible when entering the door, so we wondered why it has not been fixed. The drapes also hang down over the controls of the air unit since the rod is bent, and don't quite fit the width of the window, leaving a gap of uncovered window at the edge! The bathroom door sticks really bad, and the wifi did not work. When called, the front desk reset the router and gave us a USB hardwire cord which we still had to use. The plug and jacks were located near the table/desk so this was easily accessed. There was no coffee maker in the room, but there was a microwave and mini fridge, and very good coffee was provided in the cute bookshelf-lined lobby.
The room was really small overall; we had a double with two double beds (all that was available), and there was a small chair right by the door. Although the room seemed really claustrophobic, the bathroom was large and the shower was a large walk-in tiled area with a high-pressure shower head which is so strong you can't put your face in it-never had one of those in a hotel, it was nice! However, the room had dusty corners, and one of the beds we were not sure it had been changed, when turned down there were small wrinkles and a couple crumbs! I was a little freaked out by that.
The issues with the bed, the wifi problems, the bent and ill-fitting drapes, the badly sticking bathroom door and the nasty carpet combined to make this a place we don't want to stay in again, unfortunately.
