Compared to airport lounges like The Club or Amex’s Centurion Lounge, Minute Suites have far fewer included amenities. You should not, for example, expect complimentary snacks, soda, or alcoholic beverages — though they’re available for an extra cost.
Instead, the biggest perk is having a secluded retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the airport terminal.
Although we could have easily returned home for the night, staying in the Minute Suites room meant we didn’t have to worry about making it back in time for our early-morning departure or dealing with the hassle of going through security again.
We set our alarm for 3:50 a.m. and woke up just a short walk from our gate in Concourse B, which made the wake-up call somewhat more manageable.
The pricey experience felt worth the cost in this situation, but I don’t think I’d splurge on a private room regularly — especially during the day when I have access to other lounges.
However, when dealing with unexpected overnight delays, it’s a convenience I’d definitely pay for again.
