Thanks Rockflyertalk for confirming that,

I did ask and apparently it was due to a request from a complaint that the "Lounge was being occupied by people eating and taking up all the tables "

Best laugh I have had all year.

Yes I did mention it on check out, and was again told my complaint was noted but it was a management decision, I replied I have a choice and from now on might book later flights and stay elsewhere.
