Wish all lounges were like this!

I've become skeptical of most Starwood club lounge offerings, as it's often very basic with a minimal-continental. Nice perk, but not worth selecting a specific property because of it.

My visit to the 20th floor lounge at Westin River North was a nice surprise. All the usual basics, well presented + cheese/meats, tons of fresh berries, 1 hot item and an espresso maker with "to go" cups to grab a cappuccino!

This lounge appears to have been remodeled, with the "new" Westin look, iMac and of course a great view of the river.

I was in a hurry, but noticed what appeared to be one of those new wine machines that pours glasses of wines from bottles that are sealed inside.
