Our stay was fantastic, with the hotel situated in a fabulous English manor house in the heart of the city. The rooms are lovely but a bit on the expensive side. The service was impeccable, and the staff made me feel right at home. The location couldn't be better with easy access to Central Park. The dining options were limited to pho only, which was a downside. However, the facilities were modern and well-kept.

However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with limited options. The facilities were well-maintained, and the price was fair, but there were some additional costs to consider.
