The sample size is much larger than 1.

Then, from those that do, determining how few ACTUALLY do is relatively trivial (and since this is a new property this year, providing a data point on one of the aforementioned properties).

The NYC comment above illustrates the low distribution of these lounges, which are an advertised benefit of the program.
