This is an average lounge. I do like that it is quite spacious and there is plenty of room. The lounge has a nice bar, and the house Cabernet was delicious....

We were there for breakfast and 5pm. Breakfast has not changed much is about the same as United. Dinner there was soup offered. They did offer guacamole and chips as a special which was a big hit. Cheese and veggies along with brownies and cookies.
I am not a slob by any means and even though I have lounge access I do not just sit there and expect to be waited on . When I am done with my drink and plate I do not mind putting it on a dishwasher cart. Nor do I mind dropping my banana peal in the waste bucket. I may not do this every time but when I have a 4 hr layover I need some exercise!
They converted the old smoking room into non-smoking and it does look better. Would have been good to covert this to a NO CELL PHONE NO TALKING ROOM and have let the doors on.
Seats have individualized lamps with on/off switches. Power plugs were one per seat. The Flight departure schedule omitted all the flights we were on both outbound and inbound.
The men’s bathroom is a lot smaller then United SFO which were more like closets. since there are NO showers thee is only ONE changing room, this is a problem.
