Based on previous reviews and an early morning flight out of MHT airport, I booked here for one overnight. First impression of the lobby and exterior was positive - updated, renovated and nice. That unfortunately was the last good impression I had of this property.

I found the rooms to be very outdated, even by Holiday Inn standards. As I exited the elevator onto the 4th floor I noticed a funny odor in the hallway which continued all the way down to the room. It wasn't smoke or anything necessarily foul, but more like an old, musty smell you might get from your aunt's house or something. Weird.

The room furniture is so old that it probably came from a thrift store, and the sofa bed was so dusty we didn't dare even sit on it. You can tell from the walls and floorboards that this is an old property. The only modern things in the room was the flat screen TV and the shower/toilet room - rest of it, circa 1970 or 80-something. Bed was OK but the headboard was as old as the rest of the decor and not as comfortable as I'm used to at newer Holiday Inns.

The front desk wasn't impressive either. Service was fine and polite, but there was only 1 young college-aged woman on duty, not in any manner of professional dress and was very harried from being alone. There was a helpful maintenance worker who helped fixed the printer in the business center however. Parking was a pain as the hotel didn't seem that busy but the lot was still almost full.

Personally, I wouldn't stay here again but I understand the convenience factor to MHT - but there are other, better choices. Hotel is set well off I-293 so there was no noticeable traffic noise and there are gas stations across the street if you need to fill up your rental car, plus a Dunkin Donuts. I didn't get to eat at the diner but it was quite busy.

We stayed here the night before a recent family trip to germany, although we did not have an early flight I prefer to get to the airport the night before in case to traffic or weather problems. When compared with parking alone this was a really good deal as the mystery hotel on a booking site. The check in was good, the room was a bit small for a family room but we only needed an quick over night and we all slept well. The staff in the restaurant were excellent the snacks we ordered (burgers, nachos, toasted sandwiches ) were excellent really hot, quick and generous portions much better than a recent visit to a Mexican chain restaurant. Based in the food in the bar the night before we decided to take up the £15for two breakfast offer which was really good value and very enjoyable . The reception arranged our transfer to the airport - again great service, and when we returned a few days later they picked us up very promptly

I had to spend a night near the Manchester Airport and found this hotel perfect. The shuttle responded promptly to my call from the airport after I arrived, the bed was very comfortable and the bath was very clean, I loved the shower (although mine had a leaky shower head which I reported to the staff and they promised to have a plumber take care of it for the next visitor) and the area was quiet. There is a "diner" type restaurant attached to the hotel which I did not use, nor did I stay late enough to sample any breakfast. There is a McDonalds directly across the street, however, and I will make this my regular place to stay in Manchester.

This was our second time at this hotel in Manchester, NH. We LOVE it here and that is why we decided to go back. We first stayed here in May 2011 as we were driving from New York City, we were on our Honeymoon. The front desk workers are super nice and friendly. They could answer any question we had about the area.

The rooms were very clean, cozy, perfect temperature and huge!! Bathrooms were very well cleaned and maintained!

We travelled around the area and did loads of Christmas Shopping! Love the Long Horn Steak House!! WOW we will be back there again!!!

HOT Breakfast was excellent!!! It was a great start to our day!!!

Check in and check out was a breeze!

Pool is very nice and clean also! Spent some down time there!!

We will be back again soon!!!
