Full-service restaurants and room service have long been hallmarks of four-star hotel properties, however. What do Forbes Travel (ex-Mobil) Guide and Michelin have to say?
I adore being melodramatic ... being plain vanilla is boring.
Also, I live to eat. That means restaurants are important to me when I travel.
If I'm paying good money to stay at a full-service hotel, I expect to be able to get a full meal in a real restaurant without having to leave the property.
Yes, there are plenty of times when I'll go out into the community to eat but there are also many times when I'll want to dine at the hotel. For example if it's late, if I'm tired, if I don't have much time, etc. IMO, stripping a hotel of a restaurant strips it of stars.
