This place has some horrid reviews. There were only a few things I found that could be improved upon and these are things that need to be fixed in any older property. The paint was peeling and cracking a bit and the carpet was a bit worn. The bed was comfortable and the sheets and pillows were clean.

The TV had about 70 channels and each of them came in crystal clear and there were plenty of electrical outlets for plugging in our laptops. The WIFI stayed on and never booted either myself our my fiancee which was a very pleasant surprise. The pool area was clean and the water a perfect temperature. The AC kicked out nice old air but had a habit of turning itself off and on. Other than that we didn't have any issues that I can think of. We would stay here again as the rates for two for a king smoking room were very reasonable and it was quiet and comfortable!

On 6/14/2011 I booked the reservation for 7/10 thru 7/23 via the website at the "stay 2 save 20%'" which, at the time, I thought was a pretty good deal. But, when I got to the property on 7/10 there was a banner over the front of the building advertising a weekly special of $159. When I checked in I inquired to see if this was because I had a second double bed, the lady checking me said that my online reservation was the "corporate set" rate, and that, since they're indepently owned, they have some leeway to set rates via special promotions, etc. At no time did she suggest my cancelling the online reservation and checking in under the $159 weekly rate. This basically left me "stuck" with the online reservation which was $200+ more. I sent an e-mail to corporate and they replied that it would be taken care of by 7/27. One of their customer care reps left a voice message at home indicating that, since the property is indepently owned, I should have contacted the property. I contacted the rep today and explained that nowhere on the website was it mentioned that I could or should contact the property directly. So, I'm stuck with a bill $200 higher than it should have been. I doubt that I'll be going back.

Our first experience with the Murfreesboro Knghts Inn was an unforgettable experience:
it was dirty, and it smelled dirty. The door handle was sticky, half the lightbulbs in the room were burnt out or missing, and one of the wall lights was dangling by the cord. Also, the smoke detector was ripped from the ceiling and dangled over the bed like Damocles' sword. Finally, there was someone else's hair on the sheets. It made you want to take a long shower after just standing in it for a minute.

We went back to the office and told them there was no way we were going to stay in such a filthy room. The girl at the desk didn't apologize but quickly found us another one, which was quite an improvement over the first, but which I'd still rate at only one star. My old destroyer in the Navy was cozier and cleaner, but at least this room didn't stink.

We fled the next morning, after a long shower... never to return We spent just 13 hours there but the Murfreesboro Knights Inn will live forever in family lore.

I don't know why some of the reviews are so terrible. When you stay in a very "budget minded" motel, it's not going to be 5 star. We found the rooms very clean, the staff very helpful. Yes, the decor was somewhat outdated, but the stuff that counts (comfortable bed, clean, soft linens, good heat and air, a TV that works, good plumbing) was all anyone could ask for. I would recommend to a friend as long as they understood that it wasn't a "room service" kind of place. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!
