Golf View Hotel

Description:

• This hotel won't win any prizes for architectural finesse -- it looks like a hospital. But despite its shortcomings, it's one of the best-maintained and most efficiently managed hotels in the area. It's a motel-like property with a small pool that's found in an unattractive courtyard. We'd give the Mandeville Hotel higher marks, though it too is a bit spartan. About half of the rooms here overlook the verdant fairways of the local golf course (Manchester Country Club); others front a swimming pool and a banal courtyard. Rooms are outfitted motel-style with relatively comfortable furnishings. About a third of them have air-conditioning, and each is equipped with a shower-tub combination bathroom.
