Top Stardome Observatory & Planetarium Hotel Reviews

Knights Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service. After having a nightmare of a booking with another motel we called the reception around 9:30pm and they had an availability and could meet me to get me settled in. I made the booking online through Expedia then arrived and they greeted me nicely, showed me to my room and even offered me an upgrade after my horrible experience. Very pleasant staff. The rooms were so cute and clean and I love that there’s a stove in the rooms with other amenities and the beds were also very comfortable too. I would certainly stay here again."
