In early January the club lounge was still closed but food and cocktails were being served for 2 hours in the evening, 6-8pm IIRC, in the breakfast area and beverages during the day were available at the coffee bar. Breakfast was 6:30am-10:30am but we only had a pastry and coffee prior to getting some local food. Did not get an upgrade and had the tiniest room I've ever been in there (and for that we needed to wait for an additional hour) but there weren't any higher level rooms even for sale, so were they all sold or I just missed out in the upgrade queue (as a LTT), unknown.

There were some vendors setting up on the street side in the evening but it didn't look like much and in general I avoid that area like the plague, excepting Boy Blues Bar in Kalare. However he's only open on weekends and we were there Mon-Wed.
