Just for clarity, when I said "hotel lounge", I was talking about the concierge room or lounge, not the hotel bar. If we're talking about enjoying an evening in a BAR, then I tend to agree with you, but I think kids have the right to be in the concierge lounge, supervised by mom and/or dad or guardian.

And I can't agree more with the post about unruly adults who treat the appetizers or snacks in the concierge lounge like their personal dinners. I've seen folks hoard the food put out in lounges like they'd never been fed before. Lounge offenders are not always children.
