Entrance
The entrance was humble, but with clear signage dictating the lounge that’s here.
Seating
The lounge wasn’t terribly big. But it was about average size for a contract lounge.
One thing you’ll notice about these couch seats are the power ports along the sides of the couch next to the plants. This is a really useful heads-up feature.
There were also different sections of booth style seating.
There were views of the outside, but they were kind of….not much honestly. But I’ll take any source of natural light.
Bathrooms
The lounge had toilets which were pretty clean and functional.
There were showers as well however I did not get a chance to use them or check them out.
Food and Beverages
Drink-wise, the lounge did have a nice bar; however, it was far too early for me to indulge in anything.
There was a fancy coffee machine for your average caffeinated beverages.
The buffet boasted a solid selection hot and cold items.
Conclusion
The escape lounge is modestly sized, but has everything I’d need in a lounge. It’s got a decent chunk of seats, it has drinks, hot food, cold food, and showers if I need.
