Advantages: None Disadvantages: Poor management, bad service, waste of time
The NIGHT BEFORE my sister's wedding at 8pm the Black Lion Inn called to say they had re-booked the rooms we had reserved for all our wedding guests to people coming from a conference at the last minute.

Quick review of The Black Lion Inn, Saint Albans Review ofThe Black Lion Inn, Saint Albansby
