The hotel is in a great location. Subway station access was less than a block away. Close to good restaurants. We loved the fact that you could get discounts or free dessert at select restaurants by showing your room key. While a few blocks from Times Square, we did not have any issues with street noise. The room was spacious. We loved the 1 BR/ 2 full bathroom option, which meant the teenager got their own "space" (via a pull-out sofa) and bathroom since the bedroom was sectioned off by french doors with mirrors (which made the bedroom private). The room came with a microwave and mini-fridge, which came in handy for storing drinks and leftovers from restaurants. The only downfall was that the room temp is not individually controlled, even though there is a thermostat in the room. The only way to control the room temp was to turn the thermostat off and on depending on how hot/cold you wanted the room. Apparently, the hotel has centrally controlled air/heat, so once the hotel temp is set, there is no way to change it for your comfort, other than what I already mentioned. The hotel was clean and housekeeping was spot on with cleaning the room each day. I cannot remember the young guy's name, but check-in that morning was a breeze and he was such a pleasant person! The rooms were not available for early check-in, but we were able to store our bags at the hotel until check-in time at 4 pm. Other than the temperature issue, would definitely recommend The Manhattan Club.
