This is one of the nicest hotels my husband and I have stayed in. The price to quality was unbeatable. It was easy to walk to a bunch of different fun activities. The only downfall is there isn't free parking - it is valet or an overnight paid lot across the street.

We stayed in the bunk bed room and it was very cool! We ate at the rooftop lounge for appetizers and the grand dam for dinner. Both were excellent I will definitely return. One of the best hotels I have stayed at!

The Manchester Hotel is a very nice boutique property. It sits along a stretch of older industrial buildings, which makes the immediate surroundings look less than scenic. On the other hand, many of those buildings have been converted into restaurants and entertainment venues.

This hotel is really nice, but the food is not good. They are trying too hard to make it fancy and at a price that isn't worth it. They need to stick to some basics with a burger and the fried chicken. I can only describe it as "funky". I ate 2 times in the main restaurant and both were almost inedible. The tri tip was tough as roofing shingles. I was with a party of 8 and no one finished their meals. Don't eat here until they change their menu.
