Quality Inn Hotels in Manchester

My son and I were heading down to Atlanta, but since it was getting late, and we were tired, we just needed a place to crash... This motel was literally the first one we saw....I checked a few other places online for prices, and I didn't feel like spending a ton just for a crash pad.... However, I shoulda drove off when I pulled up and saw the night clerk get up from the lounge chair with a serious case of plumber but on full display thru the window... I figured this could be a bad sign, but I checked in anyway. We got to the room and it was definitely old and tired. The bathroom was rough--someone thought it was a good idea to paint the tiles along with the towel rods, plumbing fixtures etc...SMH. The bathroom fan didn't work, and it took forever for hot water to come to the tub faucet...it took so long, I thought the hot water wasn't working, but it eventually came... There was a live bug on the bathroom floor. It looked like it coulda been a roach, but I'm not positive....I quickly picked it up an flushed it down the toilet... Surprisingly, the vanity top was granite and in decent shape. The entry door (rooms are accessible from the outside, like an old-school motel) was pretty beat up, and the paint was peeling around the window frame and sill.... The few good things about this room were the beds and pillows were very comfortable and clean, and it had a microwave and decent sized fridge.... Also, the wi-fi seemed to work OK. Breakfast was pretty basic, but it got us to Atlanta. It did have a waffle maker, which is always nice...but not much else. The coral dispensers were broken. The dining room actually looked pretty nice, till you get up close and see the peeling paint around the windows etc.... The morning clerk (owner?) seemed like a nice guy and was friendly.... So, in conclusion, I would've given this motel a 2.5, but TA doesn't allow half points, so I dropped it to a 2.... It appears to me, the owners bought this place thinking they could get away with doing the bare minimum... Well, if the owners are reading this, you need to re-think how to properly operate and maintain a motel...starting with desk clerks that are presentable to the general public. I'm surprised Choice Hotels don't demand properties like this aren't held to a higher standard... We paid around 80 bucks for a double queen (AAA discounted)....for what we got, it should've been around $50 or $60. That all said, if you absolutely need a place to crash, and are on a budget, this place will do the job, but don't expect much....
