Well, that was the situation with the Club Lounge at the Edmonton Sheraton last weekend when I stayed there, intended or not. Arriving for Sunday breakfast, the room was filled with children and a few of their parents. It was only on my third trip to the room at 9:45a -- I gave up hope of getting anything more than a cup of great Starbucks and glass of orange juice on the previous two forrays -- that I was able to find it less populated, and a few items of food remaining.

This is not a complaint, just a reflection on the changing make up of these lounges from weekdays to weekends. I suspect now that school holidays are over in the Northern hemisphere, this will not be a feature during the week but remain so over the weekends. Ironically, this is also the time of week when the lounges are not staffed appropriately, so these places do tend to get extremely messy.
