Knights Inn Phoenix East

I should’ve taken pictures before I left, but I really needed a shower and there was standing water in the bathroom tub, so I had to leave and find a new motel anyway. Scary neighborhood, absolutely terrible, crappy facilities. They ask for a $25 cash deposit before you check in, and then they hand you a tiny washcloth as a towel and a roll of toilet paper to take to your room.

We had a reservation for this motel, somehow we did not check tripadvisor before which we deeply regret, so our expectations were not high but we could never in a million years have expected what this motel was like. At first we arrived at a gas station near the motel and several drug-addicts approached us asking for money. Even tough it was in the middle of the day the store at the gas station was locked and we could not get in to pay for our gas. Then we took off for the motel. As we closed in on the destination we started to feel quite anxious because of the enormous mass of homeless people and drug-addicts hanging around by the street. When we got to the motel we saw people doing drugs right outside the rooms. We felt unsafe just sitting in the car so we did not even get out but drove past it and quickly decided that we did not want to stay at the motel. Then we stopped at a parkinglot to try to call the reception and tell them that we could not stay the night even though we had a reservation and asked for a refund. The woman we got in touch with could not answer our question and said she would get back to us after she had talked to her manager. She did not call back. We called several times, but got no answer. We ended up in another hotel in Scottsdale which was a really nice area. DO NOT BOOK THIS MOTEL!

I could not stay here! The police were out investigating and would not allow me to enter the property. They told me they were doing me a favor. As I was waiting, I was looking for another hotel, a lady came out with two kids and was trying to get a refund from the front desk. She said there were needles and bullet holes in the wall. While we were waiting for the front desk, she let me look at her room and a cat that came out from under the bed. Needles were thrown on the floor and the sheets had blood. The police entered saw and walked out. That was enough for me not to stay! The front desk would not refund my money and said he had a lot of trouble with guests. He looked like he had gotten into a fight. Do yourself a favor, DON'T STAY HERE!
