The low rate is definitely a plus, but what we didn't expect were the 'friends' we had waiting for us in TWO rooms. Our first room (room 109) had bed bugs between the box spring and mattress. We talked to the desk clerk (who was at least polite) and we were quickly sent to a second room. I also asked... More

I am from Florida. Been there all my life. Went to a friends wedding at Bay city. Stayed at this hotel. I don't know why people are complaining about it. Sure it is not a luxury hotel, but believe me its cheap and reasonable. I have stayed at many budget motels in California, Florida, etc. they were worse than this... More

We stayed one night and had booked through Expedia, so we were unable to cancel at the last minute. Our room was dirty, there was used soap in the tub, no towels, and only one pillow. The desk clerk was a nice young man who was very apologetic. He advised we would be able to watch fireworks from our balcony.... More

Stayed here during the month of July and it's the most awful place I have ever been in! They advertised free "high speed wireless internet" which wasn't working at all. The bed was broken. The room and the bathroom were extremely dirty! Blood stains on the patio door. Carpets hadn't been vacuumed in ages! The owner who worked the front... More

I needed a hotel room on very short notice. I realized that every hotel room in Bay City was booked due to the Tall Ships Celebration in town. Against my better judgment, I booked this hotel room. I knew not to expect much due to this place’s reputation and I know you get what you pay for. I figured it... More

Every hotel was full in the surrounding area, including the this Knights Inn, the guest showed up and was begging for the room, there was a room that was off market and the guest said he did not care as long as there is a bed and a shower and he checked the room before he rented. After about 6... More

I am sorry about all the problems you encountered during your stay at the Bay City Knights Inn. There is no excuse for this and if you wish to contact the hotel and ask for the manager, I will be glad to refund the amount you paid for your stay. I would also like to offer you a complimentary room... More

I would have rather bought a sleeping bad and crashed in my car, than sleep in a dump like this again. So filthy, mould everywhere, pool closed when advertised to be open, stale breakfast.. It was a nightmare. Stay away from this place, unless u like to be tortured. More

The stale odor and lack of cleanliness in the hotel lobby made me suspicious that this hotel would not be as clean as I would like but my husband wasn't feeling well and wanted to stop so we did. Never, never, again! This place is nasty! As I write this review from the hotel lobby there are other customers at... More

I have stayed there twice as I work construction. I stayed for 9 weeks and overall it was ok until I checked out. I was billed 2 days later on my credit card for a chair that I supposedly had taken from the room. The owner has not made any attempt to resolve this. Rooms were 1/2 cleaned 1/2 the... More
