8am, first Sunday in October. Zipped right in with Priority Pass. Receptionist had YouTube going on his phone the whole time. Place was about 80% full so no problem finding a seat. Basic hot breakfast bar (scrambled eggs, sausage, etc), got the job done. Espresso machine broken, juice containers empty, didn’t see staff wiping down tables at all. Otherwise got the job done.

Seating was relatively clean but fairly open arrangement so might be difficult to get work done.
