“I don't have words for how terrible this place is.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

I don't even know where to start. so I'll just make a list.

BEDROOM:
The icebox was filled with some sort of goop, I did not investigate further.
carpet was stained and disgusting, It looked like a murder scene.
pubic hair was all over the pillowcases. after removing we noticed some oddly colored stains on the actual pillow. it's a good thing we brought our own.
the comforter looked like they picked it up in an alley, it was filthy
sheets barely fit the mattress, so it highlighted all the gross stains underneath.
the metal frame holding up the mattresses was the wrong size and will try to cut your foot off every time you walk by.
we have camped in a tent on the ground and found it more comfortable than the mattresses we slept on here.
room smelled like mold and cigarettes, reminded us of a place you would bring a cheap hooker
several of the lights didn't work
the lampshades were yellowed, cracked, and missing pieces
dim lighting
several of the outlets didn't have electricity
the TV cable was just a wire coming out of a hole cut in the drywall, stuffed with garbage (candy wrappers/paper)
bumping the TV cable cause the channels to lose reception and reset channels
one of the drawers had broken light-bulb glass in it
couch was stained and really old looking
curtain did not fit the window, way too small and i felt my privacy was a concern. they were also just ugly.
I had to slam the door to the room every time just to get it to close.
super thin walls, you could hear just about everything from adjacent rooms
furniture was dirty and greasy feeling, we felt like we needed to wash our hands after touching anything in the room. and we did.
noticeable trash behind couch and bed.

I'm not even exaggerating, that was JUST the bedroom.

BATHROOM;

grimy shower curtain
had to change toilet paper and top part of the toilet was broken
floor tiles were filthy
shower randomly turns on/off when turning on or adjusting water
no plug for the tub, but we didn't mind because we didn't really want to bathe in the filthy tub anyway because of the hair and grime
water temperature was unbalanced
coffee pot was dirty
sink was leaky
faucet handles were dirty
mirror was dirty
they only gave 2 towels for a 2 day stay
They ignore the do not disturb signs and came by multiple times
THE GOOD:
the air conditioner worked pretty good
that's it.


We stayed here after reading a false review off the hotel's own website. We thought this would just be an inexpensive hotel while saving money for the Texas Renaissance Festival, but this place almost ruined our trip. I would not recommend staying here.

I felt like I was in a SAW movie.

Room Tip: Pick a room at a different hotel.

“TEXAS WORST NIGHTMARE!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I was looking for a motel with outside corridors, because I had boxes of important papers in the trunk of my car, papers that I needed to work on over the weekend. The room had no fridge & microwave, which I asked for, so innkeeper looked for a room with such items. Found one, but no light plugs on walls. They brought an extension cord. Saturday the fridge defrosted twice, finally was replaced on Sat. night. Phone worked incoming, but not outgoing. Asked for no service on Sat. so I could spread my papers on both beds; room serviced anyway. Finally taped sign to door on Sun. for no service. Bedspread filthy (sorta grimmie, grease, and smelly). Walls were paper thin, you could hear beathing next door. On Mon. the innkeeper knocked on door at 11:30am to ask if I was leaving. I was gone 15 min. later. Other hotels/motels were full. I had chosen this weekend to do genealogy research at the Court House and nearby cemeteries. NOT A RESTFUL WEEKEND!

Room Tip: no room in this establishment is good for human living.

“The absolute worst motel!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2009
1
person found this review helpful

We had stayed in a very nice Knights Inn before so we expected the same. Instead, we found the filthiest, most run-down motel possible. The sheets on one bed had not been changed and had a huge spill of some sort on it. There were bugs. The desk and chairs were missing. The carpet was filthy. The furniture was chipped. The bathroom was disgusting. The lobby was closed due to remodeling - check in was at a small table outside. We should have immediately checked out but we were tired. As a result, we washed even clean clothes in our suitcases and sprayed them with lysol. This motel can't possibly stay in business.

“Do not stay here !!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2008

person found this review helpful

We called the day before we arrived to confirm our reservations. We were told that our nonsmoking room would be ready for us the next day. We arrived about 12:30, but the room was not ready & was told they did not have a non-smoling room available. We came back about 5:30 and went to the room they had given us. It smelled so bad and was NOT the room that we had reserved. They did change rooms for us(said it was nonsmoking), but it still smelled like smoke (THE BED PILLOWS EVEN SMELLED OF SMOKE)
There was NO microwave, No fridge, & No internet service. When we ask about the internet service, we were told that we had to go to the bar next door to use it!! Can you believe that!!
It was so noisy that we did not get any sleep at all..We will never stay at this place again and will not recommend it to any of our friends that go to Brenham, Texas.
