Econo Lodge Manchester, VT

This place should be condemned. Avoid at all costs. I was charged $220 a night. There wasn’t even soap or shampoo in the bathroom. There was a drunk man outside when I checked in. The place smelled like stale cigarettes and alcohol. I stayed the first night, terrified. Went to my function the next day, was supposed to spend one more night, but came back at 9:30pm, was not comfortable at all, got in my car and drive home.

We spent a night here before continuing north to see the fall colors. The higher seasonal rate made the problems really stand out. The bed was very hard. Not quite like sleeping on a board but closer than you'd like. There were no bath towels in the room although they did get us some quickly. The floor was dirty enough that stepping on the bath floor towel generated dark footprints. The breakfast area had the milk left out and my waffle came apart while trying to remove it. There was a non-stick spray hidden, but it wasn't used by the front desk person until he presumably saw me having issues. I appreciate that a hotel can have an off day, but if you're going to charge $200 for a room that would have issues if it costs $60 normally, the review's going to show it. Won't be going back.
