Thanks. Hard to keep track of that given this is the SFO Polaris Lounge thread and no mention was made of MLL in the actual post 🤷🏻♂️

I never noticed any issue with cleanliness, though. If anything I'd have said it's better than the PL's showers. The tiling is quite dark, but as far as I could tell quite clean. YMMV apparently.
Yes sorry, I was just replying to the last message regarding this. I guess it's been a few days. And yes, literally a circle. I thought it'd be useful for people to get an idea of timings when considering the hike when trying to decide between waiting for PL to open and going to MLL

I've also never seen the MLL anywhere close to capacity, even when the E UC has been literally (literally) SRO for anyone just walking in.

The fact that UA pays for every one of my entries is just an added bonus.
Yes, I mean in the actual shower room. There is usually a bench or something built into the wall to sit on. I've found this most common around the world. The few times there isnt, I guess you sit on the toilet but there is at least a toilet lid/cover. This is the first I can remember where there wasn't anything. I thought the matte black tile made it not look so clean. I didn't say it was more dirty than PL. Some PL showers use black tile too though they seem more shiny. Overall fine.
Lounge itself was fairly empty. Didn't even notice a terrace. I didn't find the food spread to be much better than PL. PL had more options.
