Favorite / Worst Crown Room Clubs
Since my last post was about CR's I started thinking about my favorite CR I have been too and the worst. Business Elite lounges can also sneek in if you feel they were really that good.
My fav CR: Salt Lake City. Love that fireplace.
Worst CR: London Gatwick, small and stuffy (although this might just be considered a lounge and not a CR... I am not sure)

I like the "E" CRC. The center "quiet area" is great to kick back in, and the agents are fantastic.
I dont like the LGA CRC...no wi-fi.

I like the CRC at ORD. Well laid out, functional and with a good view of the airport. I also like the LAX CRC.
I'm not a fan of the ATL CRC's as they are usually packed when I pass through ATL in late afternoon.

PHL gets my vote both ways. The staff is fantastic. The club is small and outside security, which are the negatives.

MIA = Not so good
I like many of those listed here. In addition ATL T and DCA are nice.
BDL was a dump, but now it is gone. I walked through the new terminal last weekend. Nice and light with high ceilings and what seemed to be decent facilities including a large (many machines) security area.

Phoenix is nice - great staff.
SFO sucks. Being outside security is strike one. Small and stuffy, strike two. No imported beers (last time I was there), strike three.

The only problem with the HNL CRC is that I'm only there when I'm LEAVING Hawaii which is always a bummer.

My home SLC is great, and must be, as I have seen the same agents there since I started going, telling me it must be a good place to work. For the hometown boys and gals, it always make you feel good and welcome to get a smile and a nod and a "welcome back" without having to show anything when entering as well as having the inside scoop on how to make the bar experience on par with that outside Utah. (details per private mail only!!)
I do like the CRC's in SAN and SEA, but mostly becuase there seems never to be hardly anybody there (makes you fear for their future).
Worst CRC? - There are at least one bad one in ATL. Long and narrow and little space for privacy, with the help desk in a funny place. Aircondition usually bad (and totally lacking for some time with noisy fans instead). Can't remember which councourse/gate.
