We had a 4 hour layover. The club should be about 4 times this size for the number of visitors in house now.

Forgot to post this earlier this week -
SLC on Monday afternoon (11-12pm) was as busy as I've ever seen it. There was literally no seats in the entire club (for those that have been to the club - even the back left area past bathrooms was packed, rarely see that). Men's bathroom was out of soap and paper towels. Whole club looked like a bomb went off - suitcases everywhere, no room to walk. I ended up leaving for the (less crowded) gate.

I was in the MSP club near the F/G gates yesterday evening. When I was checking in, there was some excitement among the desk agents. Two of them grabbed cell phones and headed toward the restrooms. I heard a comment that someone must have made quite a mess in there...yuck.
I didn't think much more of it. I grabbed a cocktail and started taking care of some work emails. I was sitting on a barstool at the long high table that overlooked the lower level of the club. I turned back to head to the food area when I saw someone from janitorial services walking from the restrooms to the kitchen door. He was carrying a plunger that was dripping water and left a substantial puddle within 10 feet of the food service area. I was rather disgusted and decided against eating anything. Lost appetite.

It also looks like the work area at the FLL club is gone as well. I thought there was a worked counter area that was divided off and used like cubicle work stations but they were gone. I really hate FLL's skyclub doesn't have their own WIFI and you have to depend on the free airport Wifi, when it isn't down it's usually even slower than a typical SC's wifi
