Nightcap at Manhattan Hotel

22.6 km from Emerald

"Rooms were lovely, bed was soft but comfortable. Other reviews have made reference to the noise on a Friday night… we can definitely vouch for this. Saturday was quiet enough to be not bothered by it all Double glazed windows wouldn’t hurt if renovations were to occur. Did not utilise the venues food or beverage options available to us, so we cannot comment on them Car park could do with some maintenance, nothing to be afraid of though! For those with an EV, Evie charger in the same car park...
