The Manhattan Club is fantastic. I am SO grateful we booked with this location. It's a lovely place to stay, and for the price offered, an incredible bargain.
Some things to expect:
The rooms, the lobby, everywhere is SPOTLESS. The cleaning staff is just extraordinary. The hotel is gorgeous, to boot, and feels very luxurious.
The rooms are not all the same size. We booked one room for longer, and then a 2nd room for when the rest of the family could join us; the first room was more like a suite, with a large living room area, and two large windows. The 2nd room was smaller, more like a standard hotel room, and darker with only one window, but still the same great quality. The smaller room had a bathtub in the bathroom; the larger room just had a shower stall. If you have children who are shower-averse, make sure to ask for a room with a tub.
The kitchenette in each room is stocked with coffee (both caf and decaf), and microwave popcorn. The cabinets have plates, glasses, mugs, bowls, and silverware. We washed dishes by hand, but there is a dishwasher as well as a microwave, and a sink, which is lovely to have for extra hand-washing if someone is using the bathroom.
Larger rooms have two closets with lots of hangers; smaller rooms have one. The hairdryer is in the bottom drawer of the dresser under the television. There are two luggage stands in the closet, which was very nice!
All the staff are friendly and helpful. Don't hesitate to call the front desk or ask them for help in person - they are great!
Valet parking is available for $35 for every 24-hour period (your car stays in the parking area - if you get the car and then put it back, it re-sets the 24 hours, so you pay more) or period of time beyond the 24 hours. This is a steal for NYC parking!
The hotel has a storage room for luggage, and you can drop off luggage before check-in, or have them store it for you after you check out, so you can still go explore NYC for your last day, and pick up your luggage (and car, if applicable) at the end of the day.
If you are attending Carnegie Hall concerts, or performing in them, this is the closest hotel to the backstage entrance: it's less than half of a short block away. It's also incredibly close to the south end of Central Park. A great location for exploring NYC!
The beds are *very* comfortable! If you are using the sofa bed (necessary if you have more than 2 guests for a room), be aware that the sheets are not made up ahead of time. A pillow and blanket were in a zip pouch at the top of the closet in the small room, but we had to call to the front desk to ask for sheets. In the big room, there was one bag with blanket and pillow, and another with sheets. The sofa beds are a little hard to pull out, but if you need help, I'm sure the staff would help. :)
If you are planning timed activities, be aware that the elevators sometimes take a while to get to/from the upper floors (especially near check-out time). Plan a few extra minutes to account for elevator time, or take the stairs down if you're able.
We had a wonderful stay here, and will definitely stay again if we do another overnight in NYC!
