Basically, the owner of this "motel" uses it as a temporary shelter and houses families in danger of homelessness at the maximum rate paid for by the taxpayers. Surrounding towns and even our Federal government support this vicious cycle by placing families, who can not afford the rates, then cut them loose. The owner, is, no doubt, receiving tax break incentives by providing shelter, while charging maximum rates for families well below our Nation's poverty level. The electrical, sewer and water systems are ALL sub-standard. The owner advertises "2 Bdrm Suites" that do not exist. They told me this over the phone but when I arrived, I realized it was, in fact, only 1 room (no additional bedroom). In addition, the night I arrived, I found a bloody pair of panties left in the pull-out sofa. In other words, my room was never cleaned prior to my arrival. He charged me $285 per week for sub-standard accommodations. I paid enormous phone bills with NO explanation of their billing and they refuse to provide a telephone representative contact. EVERYTHING there runs on electricity; the well water, sewer and phone. Therefore, frequent power-outages are more than an inconvenience for people who reside there. The owner has never provided water during outages, even after several days during the icestorm in December 2008. The owner's phone system shuts off at 10pm so tenants are not able to receive calls, even in the event of an emergency. The phones are turned back on at 6am. Also, there is no 911 access on the telephone unless you agree to keep the phone on, which of course is an additional fee, separate from rent. There is only 1 exit way from all the rooms in the back in the event of an emergency. Motel management tell prospective tenants there are cooking units available. The only unit allowed is a microwave. Recently, the owner had his maintainance guy enter all rooms, cut the safety plug from all air-conditioner units and hard wired them directly into the walls so he could control the units from a main breaker. In the Summer of 2008, the Town of Windham found ecoli in the water system due to fecel matter contaminating the water supply. The owner, neither notified tenants, nor did he provide bottled water. He hung the "Boiling Order" issued by the Town of Windham in an inconspicuous area of his office with the sides of the paper folded inward so the average person walking by would "miss it". In addition, former employees and tenants report the owner has an eavesdropping device located in the storage areas of the property. In short, this man in UNAMERICAN. Please notify your local, state and federal representative and put an end to funding these deplorable living standards. The Manor Motel is located at 43 Rockingham Road, Windham NH 03087.
