Rant about Concierge Lounges

I just have to vent about the concierge lounges at the Marriotts I have stayed at. They all seem way to small and instead of putting in more tables they put in a bunch of couches and coffee tables. Now my experience has been that most people use the conierge lounge to eat. Of course, this does not apply to all but from my experience people use it to eat breakfast and the light dinners they serve. Very little "lounging" around. IMO they shoudl put in more tables and take out the space consuming sofas. People, including myself, seem to be tire of hunching over a coffee table trying to eat breakfast in the morning while others wait to find somewhere to sit. Maybe there are too many elites, but but even so, Marriott should accomodate the bread and butter of their business by making changes to their lounges to accomodate the rising number of elites. I usually stay 100+ nights a year in hotels and having recently switched to Marriott in Aug and Gold status, surely Plat in 08 it is just frustrating and I felt I needed to vent. The worst lounge for size that I have seen is the Fremont, CA Marriott.
