I was just traveling in London and had the same thing happen. I was staying there for 17 nights and I would say just about every other day this one guy would stroll on in with his robe on too. Just not right! Those robes don't exactly stay closed very well and they should only be worn in the comfort of your own room.

What are the food offerings for breakfast at this hotel?

I demand you take down my picture. I am often at the Playboy house with Hugh :D

I think the policy should have broader rules than that. What about people who go to the lounge in sweaty gym shorts, armless gym shirts and running shoes?

Oh come on....This is a Marriott lounge we are talking about. The amount of pompous indignation about a mass market hotel lounge is one of the more amusing things I have read today. To you robe snobs....you are still at a Marriott.

To my view, the CL is a public area akin to a hotel restaurant...not an extension of the guest room, and I think it's appropriate for the hotel to have an expectation that guests dress as they would in the restaurant. And enforce it.

That said, bathrobes in the CL don't bother me personally as much as the occasional inconsiderate knuckleheads who show up grossly sweaty and smelly after a session in the fitness center.

Shower and dress first, please!

The bathrobe slobs are also preferable to me than parents who show up with poorly-behaved and/or unsupervised children. (I don't have a problem with kids of ANY age in the CL as long as they're well-behaved and supervised).

Exactly. If someone wants to wear a robe at home or in guest room, that's fine. But you don't see people showing up at restaurants or other public places (swimming pools aside) in bathrobes - because it's not appropriate attire.

Cheers.

Well personally i'm much more disgusted by the person who is eating all the food and hasn't used the fitness center in years, then the person who comes in quick all sweaty grabs a water and goes.........

Other people are gross. Best to order room service, you won't have to see them or brush against them in the buffet line.

"Mass Market hotel lounge." Talk about pompous.

Wife beater and pajama pants. Better or worse than robes? :D

Wow - that could be a toss-up. :D But presumably the pj's will stay up. The bathrobe might not always stayed closed :eek:, so I give the nod to the wife beater/pj get-up (although obviously neither is appropriate). Thanks for the Friday afternoon philosophical question :)

Cheers.

bold italics underline my emphasis

running shoes, you can't be serious :rolleyes:

Well put. Of course it's ridiculous to wander around in a hotel restaurant wearing a bathrobe and socks.

However, I'm also not a fan of how there sort of discussions immediately descend into silly class bashing. Why do you assume the people live in a trailer park and shop at Walmart? Plenty of middle class people have a sense of entitlement coupled with poor taste.

lmao, this guy is awesome.

Also whats up with all the Walmart bashing lately?
I love Walmart, I feel like everything is on sale everyday.
Actually going this afternoon to buy some cleaning supplies, socks, and undershirts.
