Hotels in College Station, TexasAn aging budget motel near Texas A&M
4.8/10
Campus convenience cannot make up for unreliable cleanliness and maintenance.
Knights Inn College Station is an aging budget motel, not a full-service three-star hotel. Its strongest argument is proximity to Texas A&M, with free parking and basic rooms equipped with microwaves and refrigerators. Some recent Expedia guests report clean rooms, comfortable beds and helpful staff, but the overall guest ratings remain weak. We'd treat it as a fallback for a short campus visit, rather than a dependable budget pick.
The problems go beyond dated decor: reviews across booking sites repeatedly describe stained bedding, unpleasant odors, noisy air conditioning and maintenance failures, with several reports of cockroaches. The advertised seasonal outdoor pool has also drawn complaints about green water and unavailable access; don't count on swimming without checking first. Deposit disputes add another caution. We'd skip it for families or anyone prioritizing reliable cleanliness and restful sleep.

Campus convenience cannot make up for unreliable cleanliness and maintenance. An aging budget motel near Texas A&M, scored for what it is.
Knights Inn College Station is an aging budget motel, not a full-service three-star hotel. Its strongest argument is proximity to Texas A&M, with free parking and basic rooms equipped with microwaves and refrigerators. Some recent Expedia guests report clean rooms, comfortable beds and helpful staff, but the overall guest ratings remain weak. We'd treat it as a fallback for a short campus visit, rather than a dependable budget pick.
The problems go beyond dated decor: reviews across booking sites repeatedly describe stained bedding, unpleasant odors, noisy air conditioning and maintenance failures, with several reports of cockroaches. The advertised seasonal outdoor pool has also drawn complaints about green water and unavailable access; don't count on swimming without checking first. Deposit disputes add another caution.

Best for: Short campus visits when alternatives are limited; Travelers prioritizing free parking near Texas A&M
Watch out for: Recurring cleanliness complaints and pest reports; Noisy air conditioning and worn rooms; Unreliable pool availability
Location: Near Texas A&M and Northgate; campus convenience is its clearest strength.
Rooms: Basic rooms with microwaves and refrigerators; wear, odors and loud air conditioning recur in reviews.
Cleanliness: Some guests find clean rooms, but stained linens, dirty surfaces and cockroach reports form a concerning pattern.
Service: Helpful staff earn praise, alongside recurring check-in delays and inconsistent problem handling.
Amenities: Free Wi-Fi and parking; the seasonal outdoor pool has repeated condition and access complaints.
Fees and surprises: Pets and late checkout cost extra; confirm incidental-deposit terms, as guests report refund disputes.
