| - Lets start this off being brutally honest... this is no lounge. This is basically a small holding area for connecting flights into the US from other parts of Canada. Since we do not go through security here, it is basically like a way station. This is pretty much what I expect from a Canadian jail after committing the crime of attempting to leave.
They need a bar. They get points for having free sodas and some weak snacks available, but a bar is needed. There is a Duty Free there, but they close really early. There are some drinks for sale, but they are weak and pricey. They need a place to sit an drink and chat with a bartender and get some snacks.
There are also no decent food options. Chex Mix, and some sandwiches in bags like a gas station. Not really a plus.
It was packed. Hard to find a seat and even harder when traveling with people. This place needs to be bigger and have more seating for people. Did I mention a bar?
All in all, the people were nice, the area was moderately clean (travelers can be pigs), the wifi was free but slow, and there are a bunch of power plugs. I cant give it more than a meh, but I know it could definitely be worse.
Oh, and the bathrooms.... not good. Very busy airport bathrooms. No peace, always smelly. Hold it or go on the plane.
