We were there today and the food was awful, day old and the employee (male) who took our ticket info was smoking IN THE LOUNGE after most of the patrons had left. I have a smoke allergy and asked who was smoking. He hid his cigarette which I saw and then pretended to look for the patron who was smoking.
I would not waste my time on this lounge....
Thanks for the comment Lisa.
Sad to hear that the service has been that poor. Hopefully, it was an exception and not the normal state. Unfortunately, there are not many lounge choices in this airport.
