The Oklahoma City Concierge Lounge had a peculiar feature that caused me a problem last summer: They don't allow children (under age 21!) inside under any circumstances, supposedly because they serve alcohol. I was on vacation with my family, and only my wife and I could get the free breakfast, etc. Pretty annoying. My kids aren't screaming babies, by the way (ages 5-15 at the time).

Regarding the New York Financial Center, the staff is just being New Yorkers, nothing special! Rudeness is required to get by.

The Asian lounges are all terrific. I've seen half a dozen.

Regarding weekend hours, the inconsistency among hotels is annoying. It's always a pleasant surprise to find a lounge open on the weekend, but even those hotels don't do it consistently. The reservations people don't know. Sometimes the hotel itself doesn't know in advance if the lounge will be open. You just take your chances!
