The George Manhattan, Tapestry Collection by Hilton+++
There’s no pool or hot tub as advertised. The pool view room overlooks an unfinished hole in ground - you pay more for an eyesore. The room is so small you can’t even fit to walk around the bed, probably 9 inches of space between the edge of the bed and the wall.
