The Manhattan is in a prime location. Super close to the subway and an easy walk to Central Park, Hells Kitchen as well as Times Square. We stayed in a renovated room, which was clean and comfortable. It wasnt luxury, but we werent in the room all that much. The biggest drawback was, there was NO air conditioning. I was told it was turned off. I tried to open the windows, but that provided little relief. Even at summer camp, I had a fan! That being said, the staff were kind and lovely.
