Stayed 1 night at Knights Inn, & overall, it was fine.

-good ocation -- close to the freeway, easy to find. many restaurants & shops within easy walking distance
-very clean & looks like it had been recently renovated
-great having a fridge, microwavve & stove, but no utensils, dishes, etc.

cute enough little hotel. stayed with 20 yo son in Feb-Mar 2011. cute courtyard with small pool and hot tube. not open in winter?? Room was average. shower tub , toilet seperate from sink. hot water ok most mornings , nearly ran out on 1st day. has tv/remote, no radio or clock. had small fridge and microwave, both on extension cord that was pobobly a fire hazzard. reasonably close to west la attractions. 24 mile to Venice Beach and Santa Monica. 19 mi to Hollywood, 15 mi to Getty museum and Universal Studios. 19 mi to Hollywood. Of course all travel times are outrageous compared to what I'm use to in Michigan. Maid service was good, we had no real need to find out if they would be helpful in a needy situation. Free wireless worked fine. business/residential neighborhood was not scary. very close to 101.

My daughter and I stayed here 3 nights while she was working in LA. The location is great. There are lots of stores and restaurants very close by (plus two shopping malls). It's right off the 101 (but not so close you can hear the freeway). The staff was exceptionally nice, the room was clean (except the carpet was dirty....the bottom of my socks were quickly black), and the room was cozy. It was very quiet at night. There is a small pool and jacuzzi. The continental breakfast consists of coffee/tea and donuts/muffins.

This is your basic hotel on busy Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley. We had a room with two queen beds, one for me and my wife, one for my daughter. We slept near the air conditioning unit for the room, and the only two choices seemed to be freeze, or just circulate air and be hot and muggy. As a result it wasn't the most comfortable of nights. However, in this hotel's favor, it's close to a lot of the valley, it's pretty reasonably priced. The people running the desk are helpful. The area is the usual LA sprawl; nothing to recommend it other than location. The "continental breakfast" consists of coffee and some reasonable-looking muffins; nothing else. Like the hotel, very basic. There are an enormous number of breakfast choices within one block of the hotel, ranging from classic full-blown Jewish delicatessens to bagels. (It's a heavily Jewish area of the city.)

The bathroom had plenty of towels, but only soap. Bring your own shampoo. There's a small pool in between the rooms; nothing special.

I'd summarize it as an older, clean hotel in a basic part of LA. Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed. I'd stay again, but I'd want to stay in a room with just one bed so I could be further from the air condition.
