Huge line when I arrived. Did not get in even though I have been a member for 2012 and spent well over the amount to allow me to bring a guest. The overcrowding of the Centurion is getting to be a real issue and I am starting to question the value of the lounges.

Much like other Centurion lounges, same perks & drawbacks. Unbelievably crowded at times, standing room only. But great food, bar, services. If they would expand the space.
