What?

Why would they have to take breakfast back to their room?

Not really surprising!  I would always wear real clothing such as what you and your husband wore!  I think it is not showing any respect for other diners to show up in your sleepwear!  But then again there is that word which a lot of people don't even care about any more - Respect!!!!  

A lot of people go to stores and every place wearing pajamas.  And looking like they have not even combed their hair or anything else.

I don't always look 100% but I try to do the basics at least.

I agree. I was always taught "you are what you wear". If you don't respect yourself then how can you expect others to respect you!

Here's a sweatsuit.  I would definitely NOT put this in the pajamas category as a few had stated.

Definately not sleepwear.  Easy to put on.

Back in the day, I would have taken the hoodie set in place of a robe.

If I were in a public area of a hotel I would be dressed.  Not pjs, not sweats, but actual clothing.  You are having breakfast in a public dining room.  Put some clothes on.

One thing I learned many years ago was that just because I choose to have manners, dress very appropriate for the occasion and might even be thought of as a bit of a "snob" at times, that others need not do the same. It seems to have saved me considerable angst against mankind. I have no real interest in critiquing how others dress and whether it meets my standards. 

LIVE AND LET LIVE is my motto. 🤐

As a hotel manager, as long as you don’t have bare feet, I don’t care what you wear.

@RollTide2008 -  That's a pretty broad statement.

So, if someone showed up for breakfast in his/her underwear at your hotel, you'd be okay, as long as that person was wearing footware?  What about a guy wearing his boxer shorts and no teeshirt?  That okay, too?

A hotel manager, IMO, has a duty to see to the comfort of all guests staying there.  There has to be some level of appropriateness.

We are staying at a hotel while our home is renovated, breakfast is included, hubby and I always wear clothes to breakfast usually sweats. I am so surprised what some people wear. I have seen people in PJS and robes. Is this and acceptable way to dress these days? Thanks all

@I am still oxox  I've seen people at airports in pajamas and robes- now that's shocking to me ! I think that some people in hotels are too tired to change into clothes and don't want to miss the breakfast hour.

@NHJon - First of all, welcome to the forums!

And I agree with everything you said.  Having lived in England for 20 years and traveled around some parts of Europe, I never saw anyone arrive at breakfast dressed inappropriately.  As an American, I would've been embarrassed to do so; it would seem disrespectful to the host country.

And I absolutely agree - like it or not, we represent our country, when we're travelling abroad.  Sadly, not everyone cares.

We saw the most obnoxious adults when we were in Italy.  Two men, one woman; on a trip to Pompeii they trashed the coach, made everyone wait while the woman argued with a vendor (outside of Pompeii) about the price of some teeshirts, were loud and...once again..obnoxious.  It didn't matter that the coach company had a scheduled dinner stop that we were all going to be late for.  We all suggested the driver leave her behind!  Sadly, he didn't.

Same on a trip to Scotland with a friend.  I told my friend in a very soft voice, not to let anyone know we were American!  We didn't want to be associated with a very strident woman - on a boat trip around Loch Ness, head in a book saying in a loud nasal voice to her husband "You've seen one lake, you've seen 'em all!"  (I pitied the husband.)

Okay, I know I'm getting off track here, but honestly, it all starts at home and with self-respect.

I have seen people wearing robes and slippers in the lobby and at breakfast buffers for years in the US.  It's very common.

I've never seen it in Europe or Asia.

It doesn't bother me as long as  they are not in sexy lingerie like you see at the lunch buffet or in resturants in beach areas.  They come right in from the pool half naked and greased up.

Many resurants won't even allow men in without shirts with sleeves, but women can wear anything or almost nothing.

I always make sure I am dressed in street clothing before I leave my room....or RV.

I do me and let them do as they want to.  I just hate sun lotions on the tables and seats.  So gross with your almost bare bottom on a chair.

I always wear my robe and PJs to the breakfast bar in hotels.  That is why they provide the "signature" robes for you in their baths.  They want you to take advantage of a relaxed breakfast. Most PJs and robes I see at the breakfast look nice and many are very elegant.  I guess it depends on what part of the country you are "hoteling".
