Hotel bosses reportedly say the sign was put up for "health and safety" reasons, but a number of mums are angry at the tone of the message.
One mother who saw the sign whilst swimming with her four-year-old told the local news outlet, "The wording is disgusting."
While she understands the reason behind it — to prevent parents from changing their children on the benches — she finds the delivery offensive. "They’ve just labelled both bags and babies as a nuisance," she said.
Another mum told the Coventry Telegraph, "I’m appalled by the sign and the exclamation mark just makes the statement worse." Comments on Facebook were divided. One person wrote, "The sign is ridiculous and could have been handled with more grace." Whilst another said, "They cannot expect people to put their babies on the floor unless they provide mats or more changing stations." Others, however, weren't offended. One comment read, "If people don’t like it they can go elsewhere. Nothing worse than getting back to change and finding some mums covering the benches with what only looks like they have enough changing bags for the week, leaving no one else any room to get changed." What do you think about the sign? We'd love to hear your opinion.Explore more on these topics:
