vegetarian absence dry gnocchi
the room was generally acceptable.
The absence of a proper vegetarian option on the lunch menu was a letdown. All ten main courses featured meat or fish. i was offered soup or a cheese sandwich as an alternative. the vegetarian dish i eventually got was dry gnocchi and charred vegetables. It did not impress.

The breakfast choices were amazing with cute and helpful staff.
The spa was fully booked for my entire two-night stay. I was told management would contact me, but I never received a call. The hotel seems more focused on afternoon tea guests, causing significant delays in drink service.
