Unique items:
There are quite a few unique features to this lounge:
The main travel hub includes the Lion's Arch Aerodrome - the Raid Staging area - as well as the ability to return to your previous non-WvW area.
This is one large area for something advertised as a compact space. To compensate for that, there is the ability to quick travel using a quick bar swap. That is a neat feature.
The main Mystic Forge will transform you into a random WvW item should you step in it.

Commentary:
As you would expect, this lounge is themed for WvW with all the amenities and luxuries one could expect and hope for. This is a good area to rest in while not leaving the realms. WvW decay does not happen here but map chat is still available.

Final Score:
There really are two (2) grades here. If one plays WvW regularly, then this lounge deserves an “A”. There is simply nothing which could be added that any serious WvW player would want.

If one does not do WvW, then this lounge only warrants a “C”. The endless war theme simply would wear on you and many merchants offer items that are only purchasable with currencies obtained only in WvW. This reduces the appeal of this lounge and there isn't much that would entice the non-WvW player to select this lounge over one of the others.
