Good lounge with good view. Free wifi which is not available in other places at the airport (available but only for 30 mins then you have to pay for it). No shower but quiet and good selection of breakfast. First one Ive been to so cant compare it to others.
Open lounge overlooking the gates below. Food is buffet style, options are limited but quality was good. You can poor your own beer and mixed drinks. Very easy to get in and out of this lounge, as well.
While the new lounge is beautiful and the hard products are gorgeous, this lounge lacks a lot of soft product. Was there for breakfast and trays were empty, there was very little food selection. Also, beer and alcohol was not available until after 11am, but NY State law stipulates 10am on Sunday. To compare, their competitor offered full stocked hot and cold food as well as beverages available after 10am.
I love this place!!!! So why 3 stars? The food selection is not great drink selection is by far way better. Had I been a drinker I would have given 4 stars. Even with the 3 star rating there is nowhere I would rather be while waiting for my flight. The space is comfortable and inviting. There are chairs to stretch out and sleep in not many but enough. I have never had an issue with it being too packed which is great compared to other lounges I have visited.
While located on the upper floor for the exclusive feel, this lounge feels inadequate and tired. The lighting is dark (different from ambient!) with a floor lamp here and there. There is absolutely no personality in decor. We were there at 10:30am for a morning flight, and there was barely any food served at the pantey. A yogurt here, a small leftover pastry there. Not even packaged cookies or nuts! The selection of beverages was okay, with the expected coffee and cappuccino machine. You can make yourself some toast, if you like the thick cloyingly sweet fruit preserve! More to be desired.
A Priority Pass lounge. No sleep/shower areas. And very far away from other gates. However, was quiet, had good coffee and decent snacks. Waiters were friendly and cleaned very frequently. Had various types of seating. Good enough for me.
Pretty good lounge. Could use more power outlets to charge computers. There is a charging tower for phones at the door. There is a bar available for free with a bartender. Food selection was good with tortilla chips and salsa, kale salad, and a couple of soups. Bathrooms pretty old and grungy. Definitely nice to be able to access for free but wouldnt pay for access.
Pretty good spot, lots of seating, drinks and snacks are nice. Its not the fanciest lounge out there (their internstional signature lounge is lovely for example) but it is a whole lot nicer than a lot of the US airlines offerings, and it beats waiting at a lot of the gates at Pearson
The lounge is quiet but food selection is poor.
Brand new lounge. Great natural light, confortable seating. All chairs equipped with both AC and USB outlets. The food bar is small, still offers good quality dining and beverages. Great spot to hang out and either relax or work while you are waiting for your next Air Canada flight.
It is ok. Comfy and quiet but really lacking options for refreshments. The bar is somewhat limited and the food options are very light. It is pleasant but some of the other airline lounges offer more overall.
What an amazing lounge. People that work there are professional and very helpful. The food choices are healthy. The lounge looks very modern is very clean and spacious. The TV is big. Everything is top notch.
The Maple leaf lounge is ok, I have had hotel continental breakfast that was better. Opened a few minutes passed its opening time of 5am on the day I visited, the check in process was slower because several people waiting in line for it to open. The staff (male/Asian) employee was unfriendly, barely helpful and it appeared as if he was waiting for the female employee to arrive to let passengers in. His attitude seemed as we are eating for Freè or freeloading at his Restaurant. I had to take a photo of him looking down at the passengers as we see Kim Jung of North Korea on T.V. Bar selection is slim but ok as you can see from the attached photo. Waiting area is clean,comfortable seating, quiet areas and there are bathrooms. I wish this lounge was located past security closer to the gate. If all the lounges were like this I would have canceled my membership.
New Lounge is bright and open... still not a great snack/food selection.
I love the idea of a place in the airport where I can relax and not be bothered by the incessant announcements in the rest of the airport. This new lounge at LGA is a wonderful addition to the renovated space. The food and drink selection is okay and the entire space is clean and comfortable.
Try to avoid. I came here because it was offered by priority pass and I had a lot of time on my hands before my flight. Thought it was going to be a bit better than what the other reviewers said, I came to see it for myself. Boy... Was I so wrong.The food selection is terrible! Warm oatmeal, boiled eggs, some really ripe bananas, a few beverages and some sad looking toast. Even the toast taste horrible and how can you get that wrong when it was probably bought??The only good thing is, they do have comfy seats and the receptionist was acceptably nice.
Clean and organized. The food and bar area were easily accessible. Comfortable chairs. Good selection of food and drinks. Dimly lit so could use a brighter facelift for ambiance
Pleasant lounge, modern look, attentive service. Had breakfast before a flight. Oatmeal, assortment of breads and mini muffins. Lavazza Coffee and espresso machines, cereals, jams, juices. Only downside is that its BEFORE security so you cant fully relax as you need to guess on timing to leave for your gate.
Food was ok, ambiance was ok, drink selection was ok. If you have to be stuck in LGA for a few hours, might as well check in here. It wont make-or-break your new York trip one way or the other, but they have unlimited drinks (what else are you going to do?) and free wifi and not bad snacks.
The new Air Canada lounge is excellent and a welcome change from the old location pre-security. The food fare is standard for an Air Canada site, but the layout (with ample seating, outlets, and views from above onto the main promenade area) make this a great spot. The staff has likewise been notably more outgoing and helpful than ar other Air Canada lounges. They have have helped me on several occasions rebook flights or move to earlier flights---always courteously and quickly. To me, this new lounge embodies the essence of the new LGA terminal and is a place that I look forward to when flying back to Toronto.
Super helpful staff! With flights canceled agreed delayed due to Boeing review, weekend staff showed their resourcefulness in changing flights! Place is clean, modern, lots of attendants.
New Maple Leaf Lounge at LGA is quite nice. Great views of the concourse and planes
First class ticket holders only, priority pass same day departures only. Serves passengers only shuns or does not allow airport members like pilots, flight attendants etc in the area. Its definitely more quiet and relaxing compared to remaining LGA airport.
Food options very very limited considering we all experienced long delays. Bathroom not great, and only 1 toilet. Front desk service good, welcoming and efficient.
The space is a bit tight and snack options are limited, but for LGA you cant ask for much more as there is minimal room to work with. The cappuccino is very nice and having Molson on tap is a perfect touch..
Worst lounge Ive been to. Food was limited to pretzels, edamame, soup and hummus... It was also uncomfortably hot. However, I understand a new maple leaf lounge is opening soon in terminal B.
Relatively small and boring, dim light space with limited snack selection. The only thing better than outside is a quiet and more private space to stay. Otherwise nothing impressive.
The staff was nice. The lounge is too dark for me and the snack choices was limited. Quite place to relax although I do not like that it is before security
As far as Air Canada lounges go, this is one of the least attractive. Dated, in a crummy part of the airport (but is there a non crummy part in this airport, to be fair..). Chili was very good. The usual array of drinks, alcoholic and non. Lounge is not airside, though, which is annoying if you waitlist for an early flight.
Cozy lounge which never seems to be busy, good selection of drinks and some snacks are available throughout the day. WiFi is good and the lounge overlooks the main terminal.
Skip the lounge. The Singapore Airlines & United Lounges are far better.Not a great selection of food. Not enough showers. Lots of room though
Great lounge space, really open and comfortable with plenty of seats. The food selection is somewhat sparse but its enjoyable.
Give 2 stars because if you search on internet they said they you can access the lounge with the priority pass but when you try to use it they said that they dont give access to priority pass and the explanation they give you is that they are new and they have to update the info. Also it on terminal B so if you are and terminal C or D you will have to exit the airport take a shuttle and then pass security. And the same thing to go back to terminal C or D
This lounge is quite surprising compared to the surrounding chaos that is Laguardia under construction.Polite and well mannered bartender with small, but as expected, limited food options.
The lounge accepts Priority Pass which is nice to get a complimentary entry. I went early in the morning and the food selection for breakfast was a little limited.
Pathetic food selection .... just hit the alcohol!
Had to change terminals to get there and the signs to the exact location were not clear,i had to ask several people for directions. Everyone was very helpful. This day it was very busy so not easy to find a seat. Its definetly an older site and could use a facelift.
This is the worst airport lounge Ive been to. I was here in the morning and the food is pathetic. They only have a toast, yogurt, bananas, and cereal. The drink selection is mediocre, and the bathrooms are small without showers. Its also a lounge before security which is annoying if the line for security is long.
Limited beer selection. Burger was OK. Fries suck. Quick service. Decent ambiance. Way too expensive for burger and fries.
This brand new lounge is very nice compared to a lot of the priority pass offerings I have tried. Id rate this slightly above the centurium lounge just outside security.
No frills lounge in LGA, free beers and some snacks. Bathroom was a bit dirty and staff did their job but not a lot of smiles.
First lounge I accessed with my priority pass. Right off the bat it was nice to have access to a relaxed and comfortable environment in the brutal transit camp called LaGuardia airport. The lounge is rather small in size compared to other ones Ive been to. I do give them credit for how theyve tried to make the best of an awkward space. Went here on a friday night around 7 and it was busy without being crowded. It says there is enough space for 72 people but I think it can accommodate about 35 without getting crowded. There are restrooms inside the lounge which is great. They have a no cell phone use area also which is nice if you want to get work done.Now the negatives, first off there is barely any food on offer. When I went, there was 1 soup, crackers and a bunch of condiments. There werent even any items that could pass for hors douvres. The bar is sufficient but definatey more limited than what Ive seen at other lounges. The wifi although free was pretty weak when we visited which was strange since the place is small to begin with.Now, despite the shortcomings I was about to give the place a 4 star review because we were enjoying a relaxing time here prior to our flight. Felt nice to indulge in some conversation and drinks in a quiet and comfortable setting instead of over paying for tasteless, mediocre food and sitting in uncomfortable cafeteria chairs. However, in the midst of this moment of zen, the front desk lady came and informed us that we had to leave in 5 minutes. It all seemed a little abrupt considering she didnt tell us the place was closing in an hour when we walked in. Maybe 15 or 20 minutes notice would have been nice so we didnt have to chug our drinks. In addition to the lack of notice, the lady sort of hovered over us until we left which was a little off putting. The rest of the staff were really courteous though.Almost a 3.5 but not quite. 3 stars is being on the generous side.
Nice decor. Food is average par for Air Canada lounges, eg bland and in offensive. Oddly quiet compared to, say, Pearson.
Nice location overlooking the terminal.
Not the best lounge but better than nothing... Small array of foods that they serve. Mainly toast/pastries with spreads, cereal and hard boiled eggs
Departures Only. Terminal B, 3rd floorPriority Pass allows you to bring a guestPros:-Awesome coffee, espresso, chocolate maker-desks with Herman Miller chairs-spacious seats and tables to lounge in-bar w bartender-you get a friendly reminder when your flight is about to departCons:-Limited options of foodOverall great experience and will be coming to the airport early just to chill at the Maple Leaf Lounge
Far better than sitting out near the gates. It is more comfortable and quieter. Food and drink provided. Sometimes too warm in the lounge.
Roger was super nice. Place was a little of the beaten path but they are building a brand new terminal where the new one will be located in a few months. Food was actually great too. Vegetable soup was legit.
Very clean, quiet and relaxing venue. Good coffee machines and nice snacks. Lots of places to recharge your electronics.
Breakfast options leave something to be desired.
Disapointing, not even as *G worth going there.i rather get proper food and drinks outside.maybe only if you need a big comfy seat...
No hot food after 1.30pm
The lounge was very comfortable everything but the check in counters staffs are very very unhelpful. in addition she didnt do to say thank you to us.
Great selection of food & drinks. Very comfortable chairs & tables. Business section. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
I have a TD Aeroplan Visa. I am supposed to be able to access airport lounges. They would not let me access the lounge and cited terms and conditions. Bad customer experience.
It is usual ML lounge. Very little selection of food, but not bad, good selection of drinks, and there are always seats available
Decent lounge in LGA. Not very large and minimal food selection though, but its clean and quiet and staff is great.
Its fine. Not really trendy/funky like pictures would have you believe. More smart/functional.
Maple Leaf Lounge is the best bargain for travelers. Comfort, food, bar, wifi... Perfect preflight service.
Good assortment of food, liquor all included. WiFi is excellent. Clean, quiet and lots of space.
It has WiFi. Thats about it. Terrible. Also, who puts a lounge before security? The fact that you need to leave the lounge early to get to the plane is insane. That being said #firstworldproblems :-)
Not great for an airport lounge, it is a bit small, and doesnt offer the same amenities of other larger airports
Basic comfort food well made. Coffee and drinks available. Find that often it is quite crowded.
They stopped accepting Priority Pass because there are no other lounges in terminal B and they want to squeeze every potential penny out of their customers. Very disappointing, Air Canada!
Clean and comfortable. Location offers television, device charging, magazines, bar, coffee and limited food.
Needs way more coffee machines the ones they have are often broken and far too slow for volumes at busy times. Often run out of newspapers halfway through the day.
Feel bad for the lone attendant being run off his feetThey are out of clean dishesThe bar is not open like other Maple Leaf LoungesYou have to wait to be poured a drinkNo sandwhiches. Just soup, salad, salsa and chipsBut no one can eat because he disappeared to wash more bowlsAir Canada posts massive profit and pays huge executive salariesBut paying lounge members are given this garbage setupThis is not the fault of the staff. He is alone doing the best he can
Limited food, espresso machine, open bar, comfortable seating but not plentiful.
Dont spend your time there. Smelly small useless lounge ever
Meh. Pretty basic lounge although staff were polite and friendly. Hate lounges on the wrong side of security.
Small and quiet. Not much in the food department. Drinks are good.
Nice lounge, however there was only one tv which they would not allow me to turn from CNN.
This is a lounge, and nothing more. Its very small, dark and the selection of refreshments leaves you wanting more.
Nice comfortable lounge. Spacious layout with a combination of nooks, sofas and tables.
Good place to sit back and relax with a drink and snacks while waiting for your flight.
Self serve booze, bright and spacious. Soups and light snacks.
Ok space. A bit sterile. Food is meh. Beverages are good. Service is ok.
Like all airline lounges in North America, terrible food, worn furnishings and dated decor.
This MLL is a poor example of how to do it right. Food selection is dismal and beverage selection sparce.
Very busy and limited seating. Good snacks and tended bar.
Helpful staff and well-stocked refreshments. Best lounge at LGA!
Typical AC lounge. Clean, comfortable with some good work spaces.
It is an AC domestic lounge. Decent selection of drinks and light snacks
Sadly due to lack of communication between Priority Pass and Air Canada - we were not able to get to enjoy the Maple Leaf Lounge.
Amazing drinks, spacy and great to watch games... food is decent
Very nice lounge. They treated us like VIPs.
Nice peaceful basic snacks,More snack options can be added
Poor food choices (soup and chips with salsa). Not well maintained restrooms.
Said the lounge was full and priority pass members could not access while air Canada business passengers could
Food was poor... out of the way from the rest of the terminals but still enjoyable!
So much better than the old LGA lounge, bright and spacious.
Everywhere online says they take priority pass. But when I try to go in they say they do not take priority pass.
Clean, good variety of snacks, convenient to the gate.
Great staffs, the new place is more open. Needs better signage to where this is located.
An okay sized airline lounge. Not many travelers in the mornings which is nice.
Have to exit security? Really? What good is that?
Now that this lounge is behind security it is much more convenient to go here.
Spent a countless amount of hours here. Each time it’s been great service.
Nice setting. Quite and easy to appreciate for early morning flights.
Not where I was, but good guess Google... Im sure theyre great, everything related to Canada is great
Nice and quite but not the cleanest or most up to date.
LGA has the worst lounge anywhere for Sir Canada. And what is it doing OUTSIDE security???!!
It was horrible.Air Canada needs to seriously upgrade the AC LOUNGES.Food horrible and not inviting.
Nice lounge. Soup was amazing. Friendly staff.
Super bare bones breakfast yogurt hard boiled eggs coffee juice and toast.
Breakfast was disappointing. The views are of HVAC systems.
No protein served, no milk accessible.
Best one so far
Average in every respect... the food choices are severely limited. A bummer.
Does not have a shower & has very little to offer
They actually have couches you can lie down on!
Clean and comfortable sitting
Great place to lounge around for a plane.
Newly designed gate is a big improvement.
Very small food selection at breakfast
Very comfortable and well located.
Beautiful spacious upgrade from the old lounge
Nice spot to wait for your flight.
Food selection could be better
Usual AC. Never awful, never special. Often a letdown.
Have a bar, business centre，and cellphone free zone.
Idli was not properly cooked.
All female flight crew outstanding
Never been here, but It looks amazing 😍
Very good!
Ice quiet place, too bad it is before security
Great food and atmosphere
Clean, airy, nice view.
Not open on time, escalators not working
Toilettes needs more attention.

Pretty limited selection
Convenient. Comfortable. Quiet.
Best lounge for relaxation

Rude staff
As always 😎😎
If you are a Stara Gold member, you cannot enter the United Club, but you can enter here in the Air Canada lounge.Most of the meals are cold, probably because of the time of day.Alcohol is available at the dedicated counterHave the staff pour it.
Food set around instant. There are no vegetables or fruits. The staff are friendly and clean, such as cleaning empty dishes.
The girls are very charismatic and helpful. The facilities are always clean and comfortable. The morning menu could improve.
Little variety of snacks, very small, the massager sofas unplugged. There is dust.
Old and little variety.Comfortable facilities.Fast WIFI.
The food and soup are delicious!

2021-12-29Dec 29th 2021. Lounge is open. Decent selection, areas nice and clean and comfortable.

2022-05-31Considering how many flights Air Canada has out of LaGuardia, Im really surprised by this lounge. Limited food options (no hot items at all and the cold items arent great), very basic amenities, lacking for space, scant seating options and not very well staffed. The United Club Lounge right across is a lot better.Plus, you cant even pour your own coke or make a coffee and have to ask the very busy staff to do it for you.I saw quite a few people here bringing in food they bought from the terminal because of how paltry the food options are. Honestly, Im not sure you couldnt have a better time just sitting downstairs because this really doesnt offer much.

2022-07-07Sitting here now. It’s clean and the food selection is simple with few choices yet decent. . Nice selection of beverages. Surprising good beer taps.
Review №4
2018-04-27Not a big lounge but a good selection of cold and hot food, beer, wine and other alcohol, tea and coffee. A quiet zone and some work spaces. Bathrooms also. This lounge is on the public side of the airport so allow additional time to get through security when you head for your gate.
Review №5
2018-12-08This lounge is brand-new and a featured part of LaGuardias terminal B. Great selection of spirits and beer on tap, rivalling the selection in Toronto. HBeautifully laid out, with photographs and furniture effectively aligned to bring the space to life. Food selection is better than the previous pre-security lounge, with new options like pizza available.
Review №6
2021-12-20It’s open as of 12/20/21 despite what Google says. Beautiful space, lots of room, views of the B gates (also quite close to the gates unlike Centurion lounge which you still have to walk quite far for), clean restrooms, grab and go food. The machines weren’t working to scan the Lounge access codes from a mobile device but the lady let us in with ease.

2019-08-17The maple leaf lounge in Toronto is fantastic. Multiple places to sit and relax or get some work done as you wait for your plane. The food is basic but quite good. The thai chicken curry soup was amazing and Im seeking it now. Clean facilities and friendly staff make it a great value.If you are eating even one thing in the terminal you might as well upgrade and get the lounge access.
Review №8
2020-01-30Comfortable, spacious and bright. I notice a lot of previews reviews are old and the pictures look totally different to mine. The lounge is after security. When I poured my rum drink it kept flowing, I didn’t realize the spout would let me free pour 😊
Review №9
2021-12-06Its reopen!! Reopened 2 weeks ago! Seating is great and the staff are very friendly! Even though there were no hot items on breakfast, the yogurt parfait and the chocolate quinoa was delectable! Great that this place is back open!!

2017-11-12Terribly depressing, nothing like Maple Leaf Lounges in Canada. Lounge was fairly empty on a Sunday afternoon with plenty of seating options. Amenities are very basic and actually make the United Club look desirable. Filthy, small bathroom and disinterested staff didn’t help the experience. Definitely NOT worth visiting. 👎🏿
