I had a mixed experience at Lion Quays Hotel and Spa. The location by the canal is quite charming and offers a peaceful atmosphere, and the spa facilities are enjoyable. However, the service in the restaurant left much to be desired, leading to a rather disappointing dining experience overall. While there were some nice touches in the room, such as a bottle of champagne, the poor staff attitude at breakfast and dinner negatively impacted my stay.
