Also, what happened to the picture? |
Outstanding. I don't know whyanyone is mad about this either way - I would be cracking up! Now i am going to eon the lookout for robe clad guests and post them back on this thread. I never knew this happened, but from some of the comments it sounds like it isn't rare. At least outside if breakfast in the lobby of a Fairfield.

Because I have stayed at the JW Marriott in DC and been to CL and did not notice a dress code. :rolleyes: That's how I know. And it is not my place to be the fashion police, I have 10,000 more important things to worry about than what Ma and Pa Kettle wear to breakfast, as I would hope you would, too. While I think it may be tacky, I think it is even tackier to be "that guy" who needs to nitpick everything. If it is not affecting your enjoyment/health/safety of the lounge, who cares? Were you a hall monitor in high school :p?

Sorry Maine. Couldn't disagree more. These guests are tacky and they cheapen and reduce the experience for all of us. I more people say something and shame them in public, maybe they will think twice next time...

To be honest I will not dress like that to the Lounge but I have no issues people do that. I would think it's weird to wear Tuxedo to go to the lounge for breakfast but sure if someone do that no one will complain about that. I know this is just a personal opinion but I think the OP should at least delete the pic as it is not fair to post it without that person's permission I guess.

only problem I would have with a robe in the lounge would be if the persons bits and pieces were out in the wind....:D

Too bad they weren't hot, then nobody would complain.
Anyway, this reminds me of the guy wearing a track suit in F and had to change or deplane or something. IMHO, it's up to the airline/hotel etc to enforce the dress code, not pax. And that said, my very humble opinion is that if you cover your privates, you're fine. And if you're hot - you don't even need to do that much ;) |
FYI
8:50pm at Napa Marriott and it's "Robe Time" and flip-flops for a husband/wife couple in CL. |

That's been the traditional definition of proper attire in food establishments in the US. I'd argue that the same applies here. After thinking about this for a while, 1) I would take a photo of the offending party. 2) Tell the concierge lounge personnel to either enforce the dress code or get the manager to come up immediately. I've grown weary of the 'anything goes' attitudes. And I'd do the same if someone brought an animal or noisy children into the lounge. |
I stay at this hotel weekly! I saw them too! Btw, the actual buffet is an equal appetite suppressant.
