[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I wouldn’t expect people to move. But, I would expect that if you choose to sit in the room with the piano meant for guests to play (as there are literally dozens of other options)  you shouldn’t be put out when people play it. I guess if I sat in the bagpipe area (at the highland game?) Id have to deal with people bringing their pipes. Otherwise I’m not sure the analogy holds. Again, it’s a lovely type of leasure equipment provided by the resort for use of guests. I guess I’m not seeing the real difference between this and my treadmill example.

But, I did come here for different opinions![/quote]

Nobody decorates a room with a treadmill. Plenty of people decorate a room with a piano, especially a nice one. It creates a certain look and feel. Bonus points that it's probably used for functions and they don't need to move it in and out of the room where they want it.[/quote]

And your example was "telling someone not to use the treadmill at the gym because you got there first and want to read a magazine in peace" but a gym is designed for people to work out, whereas a main lodge room at a hotel is designed for people to relax and mingle and socialize, i.e. talk together, maybe have a couple of drinks.

It's different if it's a small room with a piano and a couple other instruments and there's a sign on the door saying "music room". And if people came to the hotel for that music room and the chance to play there. Then your analogy would hold, but otherwise it isn't remotely the same thing.[/quote]
