Lounge is on the 33rd floor of the older looking Harbor Tower, the one closer to the Marriott and Convention Center. Keycard access required and staff usually ask room numbers for breakfast and happy hour. $25 fee for bringing a guest to the lounge. There's apparently 24/7 keycard access for coffee, bottled water, computer use, etc. One bank of elevators serves floors 1-4 (meeting space, pools, etc.) and floors 29-40 (there's a view bar on 40 as well as a few rooms) while the other elevator bank on the Harbor side serves floors 1-4 and the lower room locations.
Breakfast ends at 9:30 weekdays, 11:00 weekends. Every day I saw bacon and some sort of sausage, hot eggs (scrambled plus trimmings to be added), raw ham, smoked salmon, croissants/bagels/bread varieties to be toasted, some cereal, IIRC oatmeal.
Midday snacks from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm weekdays, 11:30 am to 3:30 pm weekends.
Happy hour is from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm every day, with a selection of *free* wine and beer between 5 and 6, followed by the same wine and beer offered in the form of an honor bar from 6 to 9. Each day the food presentation includes a hot protein (cilantro chicken, grilled teriyaki salmon fillet big pieces, chicken putensca, and salmon cakes during my stay), hot mixed vegetable dish, some other cold/salad dish of the day, salad bar including slices of chicken breast, asparagus, olives, etc. with two dressings of the day, and interesting small cakes (cupcakes or pieces) for dessert.

I always ask at check-in if they have any welcoming toys/goodies for the kids and they usually do.
I really like the room service kids menu. You can tell a lot of thought was put into it and lots of variety too.

Does anyone have the hours that the lounge is open (ie for breakfast, etc)? I have a one-night stay planned in July and a busy convention schedule planned, so I'm wondering if it's worth it to book a Club room.

When I was there last month, breakfast "opened" at 6a and went until 9a. I popped in at 530a before heading off to the airport and was able to snag a muffin for the road.

They have some nice snacks all day, such as white chocolate, and a good evening spread.

I just stayed at the Manchester Grand on Saturday and was very happy with our stay. The staff was exceptional and helpful in every way.
Using a DSU, we were upgraded to a grand suite on floor 32. Very spacious room with a kind on one end and two doubles on the other. The suite had expansive views of the harbor and downtown.
The lounge is very nice and spacious. The evening app selections were OK, nothing over the top. They had some chicken curry won tons, which were pretty good. They also had some sort of beef pastry puff, cheese, cold cuts, etc.
We were able to get breakfast in the restaurant by asking. YMMV.
The hotel is in Seaport Village with lots of shops and restaurants. We actually did the Kansas City BBQ across the street. Cool little place, especially if you are a Top Gun fan.
I will definitely be back to this hotel. The hotel is beautiful. Rooms are new and the pool area is spacious. No issues with internet or other diamond bennies.
