The Hotel should try servinge Indian Style Vegetarian Dish options for their guests. I requested if they could make a Vegetable Potato Curry. The Chef was able to cook up a delicious Curry and I had a very satisfying meal on the second day evening.

Spoilt by poor information from hotels.com
Our stay was spoilt as you did not tell us about the renovation work on the kitchen etc which is being carried out. This meant that only breakfast was available and nothing else. Your lack of information spoilt our trip. Suggest you get your act together. A discount would have been nice!
