Brilliant hotel yet again perfect stay - Just back 2 weeks now from another brilliant stay at Club Lion, rooms spotless, food good not lots of choice but everything good we had. This was our 6th time there and back in Oct for 2 weeks, staff are lovely love the 2 girls behind the bar. Met some old friends and made plenty of new, I’ve stayed in 4/5 star hotels and this is better than those, majority of ppl were great but you always get the odd few who complained every day about something not been right, whether it be food or rooms or anything come to that if they wanted better should have booked 5 stars . Management were great and tried to accommodate where ever possible,so if you thinking about going just book up you won’t get disappointed. (Reviewed at: 2024-07-09)
