    We used the lounge during a recent trip from Edmonton down to the Dominican Republic, with a wonderful 5 hour layover in Toronto. This is the first "premium lounge" I've used; it was $64 for my wife and I to spend 3 hours here, and it was money well spent!

    The biggest draw for us were the comfortable seats, and the peace and quiet. We had a late-night flight, and got into Toronto early in the morning, so we didn't need the commotion of a busy airport. We were in the Terminal 3, Domestic lounge, which unfortunately doesn't have a shower (the other lounges do), and I could have really used one. There isn't a huge selection for breakfast, but I had some toast, cereal, a few muffins (they're very small), some fruit, and some juice. They also have soft drinks, and they serve alcohol (after 11 am), which go well with the peanuts and pretzels they have.

    If you're thinking about trying out the lounge, search online for some 20% off coupons. You can book online, but I'd recommend just going in when you want to use the service; they certainly weren't busy while we were there, but probably fill up later in the day.

    There are different lounges for Plaza Premium/Priority Pass and I don't remember which one I went to recently. For those who frequent the PP lounges though, if I explain it, I think you will know which one I went to. Unfortunately, I have been to better PP lounges (re: my other review of the lounge in Terminal 3).

    The one I went to (Terminal 1 I believe) was a tiny, small one upstairs hidden in a corner. It had a small food bar with limited selections of breakfast items...I had a dry hash brown and a dry egg...the theme of the day surely was d.r.y. Nothing else was available except signature cereal, tea's and coffee. The breakfast sausage wasn't bad, but I wouldn't pay the $30 odd dollars to come to this PP lounge. This one, unlike other reviews, didn't have the expansive windows overlooking the runway. In fact, this one is contained within the terminal. No shower facilities. 3 computers with free internet.

    Imho, adequate enough but value only if you have the Priority Pass membership, or the Platinum/Centurion AMEX card. No need to pay extra money for this PP lounge.

    A decent lounge that is available for free for premium Amex card holders (Centurion, Platinum...)

    I prefer this lounge often over the Air Canada lounge despite my Air Canada status for a few reasons. Firstly it is quiet here. So when it is like a nut house at the Maple Leaf lounge, the Plaza Premium lounges can be an oasis of calm amidst the craziness of peak travel times.

    This lounge has no beers on tap, but they do have Heineken in a can and a decent food selection. Compared with the AC lounge they have at least hot breakfast options. Instead of only toast or cereal, they have eggs, sausage, hashbrowns and other items. If you are on a 6am flight meaning you have been up since at least 4:30am it is nice to have some real food to start your day instead of just carbs and sugar.

    I would like to say finally that I appreciate that the staff at the this lounge keeps things spotless.

    Recommended especially if you can get in for free.

    There are 5 different Plaza Premium Lounge in the Toronto Pearson Airport alone!

    The lounge we usually frequent is that one in Terminal 1 for US Transponder flights.

    There are tons of windows in the lounge and have good view of the runway. The seats are comfortable and cushiony.

    There are machines for you to make your own freshly brewed coffee, expresso and cappuncino. The breakfast selection is really nonexistent though.. they have this funny rubber looking and tasting eggs.... and some cookies and bread...

    There are alcoholic drinks like beer... but I never drink them since I always there at 7 AM zzzzzzzzzz I just need my coffee...

    There are a place for showers if you prefer......

    And WIFI access with the password provided.

    I don't think I will be paying $35+taxes to use the facilities! If you have the access as a perk..then run to the lounge!
    Free is ok... $35 NOT good! :)

    Food is fine, lots of good drink options, easy to grab a bagel or yogurt on the way out. I found it comfortable, cool, and quiet. Will be coming back.
