In most locations, there's no seating area, and in some locations it's literally pantry-sized, but it gives you many of the same benefits of a club lounge. The Elite Pantry offers more than enough options to scrounge up a continental breakfast, afternoon snack or even something to fend off an attack of the midnight munchies."
Is that what you experienced?
Yeah, I'd say that sort of described it. The oatmeal and cereal were all in the cups you usually find in the markets at other properties. Still, when they said they had a concierge lounge, I expected a bit more, like a place to sit and maybe a bar service. We actually choose to have breakfast in the restaurant the second morning because getting it at the 'lounge' was too much of a hassle.
