Spent 8(!) hours at ORD on Wed waiting for a flight to YYZ - ended up going to all 3 terminals during the time, but that's a different story 
This is now by far the nicest UC in the system. Low bar of course, but on par with some good LH SEN lounges (in terms of hard product) IMO.

Visited the club this past Wednesday. The club was crowded due to weather-related IRROP. I thought the decor was definitely more modern and functional, with power plugs available at most seating areas, along with the seating bar with a view of the tarmac. What was unfortunate was the even with the large number of crowd, they only had 1 bartender to fend off all the drinkers. The agents there did walk around and announce that the bar was closing at 9:30, but they will keep the club open until 10 because of all the flight delays.
Here's a visual guide, in case you do visit the club again.

I mean where are the showers ? Where are the soda fountains / fridge with can drinks ? A few years ago when ORD RCC at B17 remodeled, at least it put in not 1 but 2 soda fountains, why couldn't they do the same with this "brand new club" ?

I am convinced SMI/J is purposely not putting out self serve to cut consumption. If he could put the carrots behind the bar I am sure he would
