Adults? Sweats and a t-shirt are fine. A nightshirt? No.

Yep this.

I agree. I actually think it's kind of cute when I see kids in pajamas. We have different rules when we are at a hotel than at home and it can be a fun thing for kids to be in pajamas in public.
Every hotel I stayed at this summer had breakfast ending at 9 not 10 and it can be hard to be showered and dressed by then.

Are you the type who thinks jeans and a sweater and a pair of stud earrings is “dressed up”? I am so tired of friends asking why I’m “so dressed up” if I’m wearing something basic and comfortable like that, or even a sundress.

Me too. I sleep in pants that are probably dressier than what a lot of moms wear to the grocery store—I started doing it when the kids were babies in case I had to get up early with them and walk them around a strange city. It’s the Lands End cotton knit pants. I do put on a bra. It’s the Residence Inn so I think everyone can get off their high horse.

Kids wearing PJs that are basically a t-shirt and shorts are fine. Adults in PJs should just pick up a coffee and muffin and return immediately to their room.

Why do the Chinese immigrants in my neighborhood all wear their pjs outside? Some men walk around in boxers even.

PJs in any public space are not okay. You don’t need to shower, but you need to get dressed in regular clothes. Jeans/athletic wear are fine, but just no to pajamas.

No. And purely for cleanliness reasons. Pjs are for sleeping after showering. Not for sitting in a public space.

I mean, are these kids going to wear new PJs to bed the next night or will you be re-wearing the same ones? I would not wear clothes that I sleep in outside of my bed/house to then wear again the next night.

I generally wear my PJs twice before washing, so I wouldn't want to wear them in a public space and then re-wear for sleeping. Yuck. Also it just looks bad wearing PJs in public.

If you wouldn’t wear it into a grocery store or out to Starbucks it’s not appropriate. And for heaven’s sake brush your hair and put on a bra.

Quick slide in to jeans or sweats or leggings, t- shirt is fine. You can go back and shower before leaving the hotel for the days’ activities.

Crawl out of bed and go in PJs? Pretty tacky and gross. But at least you’d give all the other diners stories about you’ll never believe what we saw on vacation.

We generally get dressed first but I wouldn't be horrified if my child went down in PJs.

No need to shower, but I wouldn’t go in regular pajamas. Put on sweats/shorts and a tee.

I can't get past the fact that you might be in a hotel during the pandemic, much less one serving a communal breakfast.

If that is the best story someone can get out of their vacation, they really aren't vacationing correctly. If someone told me that as a vacation story I would think they were boring and/or insane
