Would stay again

We needed a place to stay as we were traveling through the area and found the knolls on hotels.com. It had great reviews so we decided to give it a shot. We did not realize this when booking on hotels.com, but while this looks like a hotel or motel, it is also similar to an airbnb in the sense that there is no front desk, you communicate with the owner via text, and will need to read and agree to owners rules upon arrival. You will also need to pull the sheets off the bed and take out the trash in accordance with the checkout procedure rules. We had absolutely no problem with the rules, there weren't many and they were easy to follow, just throwing it out there in case there are guests who prefer a hotel style over the airbnb style. We were very pleased with the room, it was extremely clean and comfortable and came with complimentary snacks and waters. The owner was friendly and easy to communicate with and made us feel welcome. There was a restaurant a minute down the road that provided delicious food and drinks (ladder house bar and grill). The property was quiet and the clean and comfortable room provided us with a great stay before we continued our travels in the morning. We would definitely stay here again.

Disappointing

Very poor experience. Super bright outside security flood light swamps the room in light at night. Only cheap blinds on the window so nothing can be done, requiring me to go buy an eye mask. It’s so bright it casts shadows in the room and I could read the time on the wall clock. A/C heater is very loud and cycles on and off all night so bring ear plugs. In the morning I hoped to shower but even after running the water in the shower and sink for 5 minutes there was still no hot water. Bathroom is the size of my RV’s bathroom. There is no closet, ironing board or desk. Only furniture worth mentioning is the bed and one chair. There are 10 pillows on the bed (6 are decorator pillows) and the only place to put them other than on the floor is on the only chair in the room. Guests are required to read a 3 ring binder of rules then send a text message to confirm you agree to them. If you don’t follow all of them there is a $50 fine. Before checkout guests must follow a list which includes bagging all trash then taking it to the end of the driveway and putting it in a trash can. Additionally, guests must strip the bed and put the sheets and any used towels in a hamper. Advertised price was $92 per night but additional fees and taxes take the price to about $150 per night. There is nothing of note nearby so guests must drive everywhere so I will be staying elsewhere next time. I rarely write reviews but this time I felt it was necessary.

Loved the stay, staff was extremely helpful. Small but just enough for two people, clean. Well lit parking and right at your room so felt safer than some of the hotels I've stayed in where you are carrying your belongings across parking lots. Will definitely be back, it was just right for a beautiful weekend visiting close by Harper's Ferry and Shepherdstown. Can't wait to return

Boho charm

The Knoll was a fantastic get away, the room was as expected and beyond clean, they are small rooms but believe me it was a a hidden gem and a great getaway. The owners did an amazing job revamping this place and I believe all the rooms have their own theme. Ours was Boho, I fell in love with its charm and character. It was vey quite and no stress, I would recommend this highly for a couples get away.

Great place to stay in the Martinsburg area. The rooms were tastefully decorated and comfortable. We also appreciated the complimentary snacks and bottled water available in the room. We would absolutely stay here again!

I appreciated the appointment of the room, the bottles of water in the fridge, ice tray, Keurig and pods, individual size SNACKS, toiletries in tubes, a travel size deodorant, and a sealed toothbrush. Newly remodeled. The owner used the last 4 digits of my phone number for easy-to-use electronic door lock. Quiet location, near a 7-11 with gasoline and a friendly bar that serves excellent burgers. I would stay there again. Close to other towns, specifically Shepherdstown, my daytime destination.

Small, but nice.

The Knolls is an old motel that has been refurbished and updated. It has modern conveniences in a small space. The shower for someone of even some size is very tight. The proprietor is very solicitous and was extremely understanding when I had to cut my visit short.
