context_page_description: A cloakroom, or sometimes coatroom, is a room for people to hang their coats, cloaks or other outerwear when they enter a building. Cloakrooms are typically found inside large buildings, such as gymnasiums, schools, churches or meeting halls. In smaller buildings, people may hang their own coats, but in large buildings or complexes, coatcheck attendants may take the coats. In some venues, such as nightclubs, using the cloakroom's coat check service is mandatory.
  The name comes from the French word cloque, meaning "traveling cloak". In the UK, a cloakroom may also refer to a lavatory.
context_section_description: Attended cloakrooms, or coat checks, are staffed rooms where coats and bags can be stored securely. Typically, a ticket or receipt is given to the customer, with a corresponding ticket attached to the garment or item. Coat checks are often found at the entrances to nightclubs, theaters, concert halls, larger restaurants, or museums. A fee may be charged, or a tip may be paid by the customer when they reclaim their item. Some coat checks post signs proclaiming any fees or tips, especially when their use is mandatory (as in many museums).
