New day, new amenity. This time dark chocolate butterflies and another fruit platter. Unfortunately, the marmalades that I received yesterday were taken away. I only tried a few of them and saved the rest for today. And now they are gone. They were delicious.

Grand Mercure Jinan Sunshine as Platinum (same style fruit platter as last time I stayed), with a handwritten note from the GM.
Apologies for the lighting; I got in after dark, the lighting in the room is quite dark and my phone's battery was too low to use flash.

I agree with 2 of the 3 conditions. 2nd condition is a very bad idea. It reminds me of Hong Kong Pullman policy. When you either paid for the lounge with the room you booked or you earnt it by getting plat membership (sometimes both in my case apply at 1 stay) I will be very angry to not be given access at any time of the day. Gold members is okay because they recieved this as a bonus above the usual Accor benefits. Also it is easy to correct what you are wearing. But you can't throw children away or leave them in the room. At the end of the day if the lounge is too busy they should reduce the number of club rooms as they underestimated how often people would use the lounge.
Accor need to think carefully if they are to exclude families from their hotels.

I guess the main issue is not every child is well behaved.
As kicking a family with noisy kids sure create more arguments and issue, then the hotel might be better off to create blanket ban instead.
And also, people with kids usually have more tolerance to the kids noise. And unfortunately not everyone like this.
Furthermore, kids in Asian countries (except Japan) somehow are quite noisy. screaming their lungs out and the parents just ignore them.
Not every hotel have the space to have children corner in their lounge.

Both the welcome amenities and the pictures of them look fantastic.
If only two guests per room are allowed at one time in the lounge unless the guest pays extra, it would alleviate some of the problems with unruly children and adults.

Your argument that “not every child is well behaved” is just ridiculous - so because one child is not well behaved, let’s ban all of them. Well, let’s ban all the business men in blue suits because they can make loud noises and misbehave in the lounge once they’ve had 5 beers as well!!!
its like all the people who think children should be banned from premium cabins on planes.
Children can misbehave, and children can be naughty. So can adults. So can teenagers. So can grumpy old men in their 80’s. so why discriminate.

I’m sorry Kaizen7, but I cannot remember a time that I’ve been in a lounge and there is a screaming child.

At the end of the day when we stayed at HK Pullman as PaloM knows I took my son into the lounge for short periods when it was less busy (15mins before the end of happy hour) We had no issues and those adults still there were not disturbed by him. Also just consider some adults don't like to see children full stop no matter how well behaved the child might be.
