I'm sat in a Marriott Exec lounge enjoying the food and (especially) the free beer and thought it would be a good idea to start a resource about lounges, confident in the fact that being Flyertalks much smaller brother, it shouldn't become too unwieldy.
Guaranteed lounge access is a major driver of my loyalty and I know this is the case for many of us here. The more info we have about the lounges the better our choices can be. I think this is especially important now that reviews have been removed from this site which has deprived me of my most trusted source of hotel info.
I'm asking all responders to make the hotel bold for easy reading and include useful info and photos. My set-up for each review is for my ease, I hope everyone who reviews a lounge does so in whatever way they feel comfortable.
Finally, please give the lounge a grading indicating whether its "Poor"(1/5)"OK"(2/5)"Good"(3/5)"Great"(4/5) or "Fabulous" (5/5).

I am at the Cardiff Marriott executive lounge right now, and good news, that should see the Cardiff Marriott get a well deserved fabulous 5/5 as it now opens 7 days per week, no weekend closure with free beer, cider and wine between 17:30-21:30. I'm here for 3 nights and will be trying out all the exec lounge offerings here. I will update my Cardiff post on this thread in the next day or 2!
