The inside was clean and staff worked constantly to pick up dishes and clean up. The staff were courteous. The wi-fi was a bit patchy where we were sitting near the kids play area.

We were a large group of 7 so I didn't think we would make it but it only took about 20 minutes before we were notified via e-mail that it was our turn. Food selection included cookies, pretzels, chips and dip, cereal, salad, soup, curry and rice, samosas, pasta, and a fish dish. I think there was only one server working but she cleared dishes and wiped things down pretty quickly.

Small lounge at Pearson Airport (Terminal 3). I get in through the Visa Airport Companion program,…read moreand have luckily never experienced being waitlisted or turned away. Guess it's about timing though, as I've heard from my friends that it's always super crowded. The breakfast eggs are often overcooked to death, turning into this grey-greenish solid. And the cleanliness of the tables, plates, and cups are sometimes questionable. Around 11ish they start serving lunch, and the selection is slightly better than breakfast. I've come across their butter chicken curry a few times, and it's quite alright. There is a very limited selection of food and drink, but it's still a good enough place to charge your electronics and get comfortable before a flight.

This lounge is located in the terminal only for US depertures. I came around Friday 5pm when it was…read morepacked, had to enroll in the waitlist first. Luckily my turn came within 5 minutes. Check-in process was simple, just had show my membership in the app. Upon entering found that the lounge was really small. Probably held about 50-60 guests. Most of the tables were in the back side of the lounge. The small bar was right in front of the entrance. On the left side of they had few more couches and booths. The food station had few dishes and salads. Drink station had soda dispenser and coffee machines. The dessert station was near the entrance. It wasn't surprising at all that they were at max capacity. I was really pleased with the food they served. The rice was so good, it had such nice aroma. The chicken was also delicious. I got multiple servings of both of them. The tap beer was also good. Staff members were working hard to keep restocking the station while also cleaning up all the tables with left over dishes and glasses. Despite the limited crowded space and messy stations, I was glad to find this lounge for some quick meal and drinks since this terminal has such limited choices, and most of them are mediocre. I'd be at this lounge every time now when I am traveling thru this terminal in Pearson.

We once flew from Paris to Vancouver and the lounge was on the other side of the airport and we were not able to use it. If you are flying from Toronto to Vancouver which is domestic Canada flight than again, you are out of luck. Majority of the time, I am not able to use my passes. This is definitely not worth the hype or even the price of getting the Priority Pass. The pass is useless and plus it took up space in my wallet which I am not very happy about.

I was also half dead with a cold and trying my best to hide it so they'd let me through the gates. First thing I noticed was that sleek, shiny, lounge-y atmosphere. Damn, this place looks like a hotel and was beautiful. Small, but with shiny wooden decor and large windows that looked out onto the runway. Off to one corner was a discreet area for a shower. This must be where the frequent flying elite brush up. I sat at one of the comfortable seats and just stared outside until I had to go. Blissful. One of the main benefits of the lounge is of course, free food and refreshments. I'm guessing they rotate through different international fare. That day, I was only up for something soupy because I was sick. Luckily for me, they had laksa noodles. Even more luckily for me, I found it very tasty. Sipping away at my laksa and unlimited earl grey tea certainly helped put me to sleep for 8 hours straight on the plane ride afterwards. Yes, there were more people than I thought there would be. Yes, there were a surprising amount of families and kids. But this isn't some 18+, extra exclusive lounge. If I have my family with me and earned/paid my way into the lounge, what am I gonna do? Leave my kids outside? I happened across a previous review that starts with: "It blows my mind when I see 4 and 5 star ratings for this lounge. Have you never been to another lounge before?" No, Jordan. I haven't. Because I'm a broke af young adult that just finished paying off college debts, goddammit. Chill. Let me enjoy your privilege for once. (17/100) - 2018

I couldn't find a Yelp listing for the Maple Leaf Lounge Express but from the pics already posted,…read moreit seems like this is the one. Yea, this is the most BARE BONES lounge I've ever been in. Originally, my dad, bro and I had wanted to go to the upper level 3 Air Canada lounge but it was at capacity unfortunately, the wait to get in was long and we didn't want to stand and wait. So we went to the lower levels and arrived at this "express" lounge. Walking inside we noticed immediately that it was super small (idk if you can even call this a lounge tbh). There was one long bar with a minibar and fridge and 2 giant coffee machines. That's it. The only food provided was parfait and blueberry muffins. The blueberry muffin was really good but 'disappointed' is an understatement for how I felt about the food offering in this lounge (NO HOT FOOD AT ALL???!!!) I think Air Canada needs to do away with this scam "express" lounge and build a proper one to mimic the one on the 3rd level.

There are no showers or restrooms--at least according to the staff who really wanted to be anywhere but there.

However still a great experience, it was fairy close to my gate. The reception was so friendly and notified us when our flight was boarding via (PA). It had a nice area for complimentary drinks (full bar) - however it is self service so my DIY Caesar was pretty terrible. They have specific hot meal times. We were able to catch the 5 o clock dinner time. They had some hot foods like a dumpling station, pasta station, some meats and a cake station. Nice sit down meal.

The wait was about 20 minutes, which was reasonable. However, once inside, it was difficult to find a seat due to how packed it was. The hot food selection was very disappointing, and I honestly can't believe people pay $$$ for this level of service. The offerings included frozen basa fillet in a coconut-based sauce, overcooked chow mein, mayo-heavy coleslaw, and frozen chicken dumplings--overall worse than a decent food court meal, or even an average airplane meal. I understand that a domestic lounge may cater to short-stay travelers, but since international passengers are also being accommodated here, there should be a wider variety and better quality of hot food options.
