Alaska's Sleeping Lady Airport Lounge

It's a decent lounge once you get in but getting in is a different story. Upsides: -better mixed drinks than some other lounges. Included mimosa, **** mary, and margarita -friendly staff at the bar -food was better than united club during COVID (not sure about normal times) Downsides: -max 3 drinks per adult -strict 3 hour before scheduled departure rule -no access on arrival -when it is full, there's apparently a waitlist. I went when it was empty tho. Yes those last two are their published rules and it's fair for them to enforce. BUT practically speaking, when the lounge is mostly empty, most other lounges would allow it. Food available as of Apr 2021: -wraps (chicken and something) -soup (veggie with grains) -veggie platter (dry carrots)

Great lounge, they have a barista and some food options. I was just happy to visit a lounge during Covid. I used my priority pass to get access, so it was free for me. I probably wouldn't pay to access this lounge.

Great Alaska Air lounge. I arrived two hours before closing but they didn't have much food for consumption. Their drink menu was great and they had a lot of different seating options. The only con for me (was not the food) was that they didn't have a lot of COVID social distancing in place. Nonetheless my party and I tried our best to social distance when we chose our seats. The bar was great and staff was very nice!

Their hours haven't changed. Still open from 05:00 until 01:00. They have a couple gluten free snacks available. Boxes of snacks available for purchase. Tea and coffee machine up and running. Several beers on tap. Wine and liquor stocked. There are usually two soups available. Today there was a broccoli cheddar and a chicken sweet potato kale soup. The current complimentary barista special is cinnamon and spice latte.

As far as Alaska lounges go this one is pretty consistent with others though I did particularly like the set up and roomy design. I had no trouble getting in with my PP and even though I was pretty close to my boarding time they graciously let me pop in for some tea and a to- go snack. There is a main room with access to the snacks and also has a lovely two sided fireplace. Then there's also a long narrow seating area with comfy chairs and a view of the tarmac. They were serving soft drinks and tea and prepackaged to-go snacks at the buffet. While it wasn't the usual impressive display, it's good to see they're so working to offer their customers something with the ever changing covid restrictions and mandates. I was able to get some tea and the prefect snack for the flight and I appreciated the great customer service.
