Just got back from four nights at the Manhattan Club. The biggest change is that Broadband Wireless Internet access is now available throughout the hotel. the bad news was that at least in my room, the access was pretty slow and occasionally unusable. Perhaps it's different in different areas of the hotel.
This is their 10th year and they said the following changes will be completed before the end of 2007:
1. Replacement of all televisions with 32" LCD flat panels
2. Replacement of all mattresses with pillow-top (Heavenly???) types.
3. Replacement of all room carpeting.
It's good to see they are refurbishing the MC. In terms of my previous issues, this time it only took 30 mintues to get our car, a time I consider just within the acceptable limit.
And, sadly, I do find that those people who have a chance of expecting a tip are very friendly and anxious to help, while those who don"t (read front desk) show zero warmth. It would cost nothing to fix the less than ideal attitudes and this is a place where we are not customers but rather, owners. Hard to understand why it's accepted. Had the chance to tour the Phillips Club and I can assure you, attitude is everything!
That said, we had a wonderful time, the unit was more than comfortable, the location is perfect for us (my son said, "what an ideal location - right between Carnegie Hall and Hooters!) and the price was right. Definitely no buyers' remorse here.
