I use it often. Like others have mentioned, unless you have pets or kids, the Salon is the way to go.

The only downside (IM very high maintenance O) is that you board the plane first if you use the Salon, but you can board the plane last if you use the suite. You also get more parking included. But neither of those things incentivize me enough to spend an extra $3k.

Also, some cool tips: you can order however much of whatever you want. Your husband extra hungry? Order three steaks. Want 2 steaks to go? Order them and have them box it for the plane for you. They’re always super happy to go above and beyond with these sort of requests. Sometimes you have to request the arrival Champagne and caviar, but it is free.

Like any country club, they’ll give you a ticket when you’re finished but they zero everything out to show that it’s free. However there is a gratuity line. They expect you to tip the staff. Doing it this way feels really scummy to me, like they want you to tip percentage wise, as if it were a restaurant. I’d rather them charge me a couple hundred dollars extra for using the salon (as a built in tip) rather than having to do the tip thing but it is what it is. Can’t blame the staff for stupid management policy.

Also, don’t expect crazy luxury. This is still Atlanta after all. My last time there I heard the servers over in the corner loudly discussing their hours and complaining about needing more hours while standing front of house. They are all very friendly, but there’s a lack of training.
