Perhaps if the hotels were more attuned to the guests traveling with children, fewer guests would opt for the Concierge level. When traveling with children who awaken at 7:00 AM and want their breakfast NOW and you know that it will be 45 minutes and $45.00, the concierge level seems like a fine alternative. Granted, the parents should keep a watchful eye on the kiddies and teach them to be respectful of others in the lounge. It is an open secret among parents traveling with little ones that Concierge levels are very convenient and cost-effective. The Ritz Carlton, San Francisco is a great example of a kid-friendly/business-friendly environment. They, really seem to manage that balance just right.
