Knolls Resort Motel

Never Stay Here!

We booked a room here last minute for my daughters cheerleading competition in November, I know it was off season but it was the worst hotel/motel experience I have ever had, the manager was nonchalant about the numerous issues we had from a broken window to noisy "permannent residents" at the motel, aparently during the winter months they open the motel up like a rooming house to pay the bills, these people like to ignore the 10 pm quiet rule till 1:30 in the a.m. and then again from 3:30 till 4:30am needless to say very little sleep, we booked a "deluxe" room and it was small and old and had rusty faucets and did not even come with cups to rinse when you brushed your teeth or shampoo, nothing, just one wrapped bar of soap, unfourtantly since we booked last minute we could not cancel and go somewhere else or we would have.

1 1/2 star hotel

great location near boardwalk and in the heart of Wildwood. Hotel room was clean but don't expect any degree of luxury. Overall, a place to rest your head at a decent price.

Bad Beds

The beds were very uncomfortable.

Guest did not leave a comment.

Good place thats close to the boardwalk

I thought the desk clerk was very friendly and courteous, the room was very clean and accommodating, the only drawback was that there were no soap provided in the bathroom. Other than that, I had a pleasant stay, and I liked the fact that it was very close to the boardwalk so I didn't have to drive while I was there.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Location

This hotel was 1 block from the boardwalk and beach. It is a 50's style little place. Quite adorable. When you come to the beach you do not expect to stay in the room all day. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great location for the money

We stayed for 5 nights. The man at check-in was very nice. I received a room at street level on the corner and I didn't like it so he changed me to another room upstairs. We didn't have phone service and internet connection kept fading. The pool was in good condition. We had to ask to have our beds made and fresh towels every day. For the area, the rooms were reasonably priced so I wasn't expecting much.

Arrogant Desk Clerk

From check in to check out the desk clerk, who would not give me his name, made the entire stay very uncomfortable. He lied, was evasive and gave a very shady impression. He asked for a credit card, drivers license and that a personal information card be filled out at check in. He also required a $20 cash room key deposit, that he didn't provide a receipt for. I was traveling with two young grandchildren and he gave us a room with no heat. He said all the rooms had heat. After several trips to the lobby asking him where the heat was and how to turn it on, our stay was in late March on a cool damp weekend. I finally asking him to go to the room and show me how to turn the heat on. He then changed his mind and said that room my room didn't have heat and he forgot to give me a portable heater.

Clean, Quiet, Reasonable Rate

Our room was clean and quiet, no problems with check in. The only problem we had was with parking, too many guest and not enough parking spots

Not Horrible, but needs some improvement

The good: The location is great, one block to the bordwalk. There is a small, but decent pool. The bathroom was clean and stocked with shampoo, soap and TP. The bad: I don't think they changed the bed sheets since the last people were there. I found long womens hair in my bed.

Expected better than what it is

I wouldn't even rate it a half of a star; Very poor service, the concierge was rude, the room was very small, and the beds were very uncomfortable. The only good thing about it was the location.

Nightmare on Atlantic Avenue

The only thing good about this motel was the location. The room is small, dirty, no light bulb,no toilet paper or soap. One man runs the whole place. There is no maid service, no complimentary coffee, or parking spaces. Everyone smokes, there is a complimentary planter with sand outside each door but, they throw the butts on the floor anyway and thats where they stay. You can't see the tv unless you sit right in front of it because the doors don't open enough.It was worse then I could have imagined.

Needs Improvement

The bedroom was acceptable as far as furnishings go: bed, dresser, TV, etc The bathroom was in serious need of an update. Stoppers didn't work in the tub or sink, for example. The colors were retro, so ok for Wildwood:) The worst problem was the extreme noise of the other guests all thru the night. Posted rules state quiet hours, but they are obviously not enforced. Pick another hotel for your stay in Wildwood, particularly if you are over twenty-something.

Hotel

The beds were very comfortable. The room was clean and cozy. The price was a little steep for being off season.
