poor evacuation dietary requirements
The fire alarm woke me up at 6:45 AM. There were no staff present overnight, so the fire evacuation felt disorganized. I ordered food, then they told me 15 minutes later that it was unavailable. My meal finally arrived after an hour, and it did not meet my dietary requirements.

Satisfactory visit overall

tapas selection cheese balls room cleaning missing information
I often eat three tapas. This includes one for starter and two for mains with fries. I had great cheese balls dressed imaginatively. I also had light tempura prawns with yummy spicy dip.
My room was not cleaned on my second day. The website clearly states DAILY housekeeping though. I was informed they clean only every two days. This information WASN'T on the website!
