I passed through the club last Sunday. I actually SDC’d to a flight that transited ORD. The new club looks really good, is quite spacious and finally has some natural light. While I was sitting at a table, a server brought me a brown shopping bag filled with pizzas. I thanked the server but told her that I did not order any pizzas. Also, the Coke machine behind the bar area was not in service.

There is a conference room at the F club. It is located between the men's restroom and the help desk.
Just noticed it on my last trip.

I've been in that club a lot and never noticed the conference room. I wonder how many times it has been used since the club opened.

First visit this morning. As someone who avoids the carb-fest, enjoys eggs in the morning, disappointed to see only waffles/syrup and bacon as hot option (besides the oatmeal). Understand the desire to rotate, but would it be so hard to have cold hard boiled eggs at least when not serving some sort of hot egg? Delta SkyClubs manage it without a problem, so can't be that hard ...
Otherwise, nice space, nice lighting, miss the semi-privacy of the business cubicles in the new design.

ORD lounges
Could some kind person remind me...? I have a lounge pass from getting the Chase credit card, and I am flying through ORD tomorrow. But I think I dimly recall some kind of email from United saying that one or all of the ORD lounges was being renovated, and such passes were not currently being honored.
Did I dream that or not? I'm going to be in Terminal One at O'Hare - if anyone knows for sure if I can use my pass, I'd be most grateful.

I received an official communication from UA about this this morning. Guest passes are being accepted at all United Clubs at ORD, unless the club is at or near capacity. The B6 clubroom just reopened and has relieved the crowding that caused the airline to stop accepting guest passes in the open terminal one lounges.

Correct. I confirmed with United Club staff as well last week.
With the opening of the club near gate B-6, they are once again accepting the Chase 1-time passes.
Note: The club in the C terminal is still undergoing renovations, so I would avoid that one.

Taking an early morning LAX-ORD and will need somewhere to change before going to a meeting. Usually use a shower to accomplish this quickly, but sounds like that isn't an option currently? Looks like I'll probably be arriving at C9. Any suggestions on best club to use for this?
Thanks,

They did a great job honestly, the extra space is definitely appreciated and its nice having the crowds a little smaller at the other B terminal club again. The only negative aspect of the B6 club is that they seem to have a hard time keeping the dishes cleaned up. Not sure if they are just understaffed or what but last time I was there more tables were empty and covered in dirty dishes than had people at them. It some what tainted an otherwise positive environment. I half wish the had stations or bins where people could at least deposit some of the plates (not everyone would but some of us dont mind cleaning up after themselves).

You are correct that currently no showers available at United ORD.
