Knights Inn Lenox

Don’t believe the photos. Don’t stay here. We called the phone number of the hotel up the road where we have stayed several times. Unknown to us, that hotel is currently closed for renovations, and our call was put through to here. We thought it was our usual hotel, but under new ownership. No one explained that it was a completely different place. We found out when we arrived. Grass not mown in weeks with knee-high weeds. An old cigar butt outside the door to our room. We rented two rooms, one king size and one with two-doubles. The king size room was huge. The double was considerably smaller, and we could barely get around the beds. The room included a small table with two chairs, but not enough room to sit at it, and we could barely get past between the end of the bed and the table to get to the bathroom. The room stank of air freshener. There was a clock-radio, but no outlet to plug it in. A LOT of traffic noise. The bathroom. Retro is not the word, since the pink and black tile on the walls was clearly original from the 1950s. Which was 70 years ago. Missing bits of floor tile were filled in with gray cement. The walls above the pink wall tile were painted neon violet, and they did a crappy job. Black mold patches on the ceiling above the shower, an old nasty shower curtain, dead bugs on the floor. But the topper was the inside of the bathroom door, which was so incredibly filthy that I would guess it’s easily been over five years since anyone cleaned or painted it. Give that some thought. Not long after we arrived, another guest pulled up in their pickup and proceeded to play the truck radio at full blast. Parked right next to the office. They started setting off firecrackers. Again, right next to the office. Management doesn’t care. We had no other options since it was a holiday weekend and there were literally 15,000 people in town for a concert.
