The Good

  • Spacious layout with plenty of seating even during peak hours
  • Shower facilities are a rare find at MCO
  • Friendly and attentive staff who keep the buffet stocked

The Bad

  • Food options are decent but not outstanding compared to larger Admirals Clubs
  • Can get noisy near the bar area during evening hours
  • No tarmac views from the seating area

Pro Tips

  • Arrive early in the morning for the best breakfast spread, which includes hot items like scrambled eggs and bacon that disappear by 9:00 AM.
  • Ask the bartender for the off-menu craft cocktail of the day. They rotate weekly and are surprisingly good.
  • The seats along the back wall near the printer station are the quietest spot for getting work done.
  • If you need a shower, request it immediately on arrival. There are only two stalls and wait times can hit 30 minutes during peak hours.
