Econo Lodge Manchester Hotel - Page 1

When we stayed here, we had what is perhaps the single most disturbing experience ever at a hotel. While checking in with my wife and 13 month old son, two men brought in from outside an argument -- evidently about a drug deal!! Profanties and shouting flew, one man clearly on something. The climax was one man telling the other that he would "f*** you up in front of this baby", meaning my son! This, of course, had us fearing for our safety. What was even more shocking was that the manager on duty ignored all of this, continuing to check us in as if this was an everyday occurrence! It certainly isn't for us. What if these men had been armed? To say the least, no matter how comfortable the beds could have been, we wouldn't have slept well. I have NEVER felt unsafe at a brand name hotel before. What is going on at this place? We've been soured on Econo Lodge permanently as a result, and we'll make sure none of our family and friends stay there in Manchester.

The accommodations were adequate.

It was a large comfortable room with two double beds, a refrigerator and a microwave oven in the room. There was also a large screen cable TV with remote control and many channels to choose from. There was a hair dryer in the room. Heating and cooling were controlled in the room. A continental breakfast was provided at no extra charge and complimentary tea and coffee were available in the lobby, twenty four hours a day. There was sufficient off street free parking in the hotel parking lot. There were ice machines on some of the floors, along with vending machines. The hotel is conveniently located right off the interstate.

Everything was clean and orderly. The hotel staff was friendly and informed. The stay was pleasant.

I worked for the Choice Hotels Brand, and can't believe this place still has a sign. The facilities were old and dilapidated. The housekeeping was terrible, and the customer service stinks. If you want to be able to stay somewhere and complain your way to a refund, this is the place to do it because your money back is the only value this place has to offer. I would encourage anyone to pay the extra money for ANY OTHER PLACE. There are shady people who live there, it's in a shadier section of town, and the staying experience was terrible. Dissuade anyone you know from staying there.
