Most luxurious hotel I've stayed in

I felt very comfortable, safe, and respected, the staff in every part of the hotel I encountered was friendly. The bed was comfortable, everything was clean, and the other visitors encountered were awesome as well.

Surprisingly fantastic

Absolutely phenomenal. Most surprising was the food in the downstairs restaurant. It’s a mix of Ecuadorian and Southern flare, the food is absolutely delicious!

LOVED The Manchester!

Really loved the ambiance and style! My husband and I stayed at The Manchester as home base for a weekend of bourbon adventures. Staff was great. Loved the bars and had a delicious Saturday brunch at the restaurant. Room was a little cramped, but otherwise cozy and exactly what we needed. Would stay here again in a heart beat.
