This would be a good option only for a 4-5.5hr nap if a sleeping room is open - perhaps ask at the desk before paying for access?
I have about 7 hour layovers coming and going back. The Oryx is totally booked up, this was my strategy to go to AS, make sure there was sleeping rooms, and to ask if it was available and if so then buy access. But I'm not sure if they are selling entrance anymore to the AS lounge? I think some are reporting they've stopped selling access? If they are selling access it's definitely a better deal than the Oryx where it's $300, and you don't get gourmet food just a walk away, in addition to a private room to sleep.
