And if these are shared with the JAL F lounge, I'd be pretty ticked off as a JAL (or other) OWE getting ready for a long flight to Japan after a full day in city, or connecting.

Out of commission for the day? Fully booked until departure? Other reason? I don't know, but I'd expect it to be a one-off rather than a permanent state of affairs.

My faux pas for not updating on this.. I arrived there the LAST day they were closed. I talked to the lounge manager, and he said the fault was.. JAL moving so slow to order the right parts to fix the water heater for the showers. Slow approval process etc. They were to fix it that day (and I was there early AM). Anyway, there's the story, and I should have shared this earlier.
