Do not forget to tip the associates (few do) especially those of you who make your own rules all over the world or if you do not. I am becoming unconvinced again.
Again, only true if you are an “upgrader”. If you reserve a room that includes club access, you get it for as many guests as the hotel permits you to register.

As i said before, i think this “no kids” movement is led by a bunch of upgraders who themselves have never actually paid for a room that includes club access and so don't understand that the kids they see in the lounge aren’t necessarily “freebies.” Either that or they are like the upgraders to first and business class on the airlines complaining about kids who have paid for first or business class tickets. Fly private is what i say there and I think with the lounge issue you will have no better luck on a chainwide basis getting such rules.
