Four Winds Country Motel

When booking there was only one room left so we went for it. Imagine our surprise when there was only two other cars in the lot. (It looked as though the other rooms were taken by men who were picked up by a bus in the morning.) Upon arrival there was no one in the office and when someone did come they didn't speak English. A younger person finally came to register us. The room was clean but chinzy on the towels and room coffee. The breakfast was stale fruit loops and two donuts. We moved to another motel in town the next morning.

Owner-operators NOT honest. Ask the locals about their reputation. DO NOT DRINK THE WATER! Leaves oil residue on skin. Electric heat pump did not work. Minimal reimbursement. All about the Benjamin’s with these folks!

Made a reservation months in advance and requested an early check in between 11-12. Upon arrival, the manager gave us a key to a room that was never cleaned. Went back to complain and he told us we needed to wait 30-40 minutes for it to be cleaned. (Not an easy ask after a long drive with a 5 month old on a 95 degree day). But we waited. Watched them go in to a different room and start cleaning instead of ours. My husband complained again, and the manager began to talk back to us saying “nothings guaranteed”. We would have walked out right then and there but we didn’t really have a choice as there were no other places to stay in the area. The rest of our one night stay was uneventful, thankfully. The room was nothing special. Bolts loose everywhere, cardboard sheets, and paint covering leaks and cracks. But the AC worked (loudly), and the cardboard sheets

We stayed only one night. We made reservations on line. We chose to pay upon arrival. Checkin was quick and efficient. Encountered with staff were pleasant, a bit awkward due to dialect/pronunciations. We stayed on the hill, which gave a nice view across the valley. The room was clean and 2 queen beds were comfortable with nice linens. The room appeared to be freshly renovated, very well kept. A small kitchen including a double cook top, a small fridge, microwave, coffee maker and sink were all in good working order. Breakfast was included in our stay. Continental breakfast was not exceptional, cereal, packaged Oatmeal needing hot-water, warmed hard boiled eggs, tater tots, fresh fruit and Belgian waffles. The cooked Belgian waffles were bit crumbly and difficult to get out of the maker. Coffee or tea. Sufficient, but nothing memorable, except that is was not great. Overall, this is a good place as an operational base. Think utility, and not posh. Functional, not extravagant. Value was high, considering other places. I would go back, just not eat breakfast here. Pluses: + location to Manchester + view + outside table and chairs for our room + clean/comfortable + value + quiet Minuses: - the fridge was a bit noisy - The pocket door separating the kitchenette did not function. This would have mitigated the fridge noise. - controls on the AC were difficult to navigate. We did figure them out and it was operational. - There was a bit of language barrier. - breakfast
