I stayed somewhere fancy, like the Metropole in Hanoi, but I can't remember where exactly. I had an illnesses and couldn't eat except for bread. As they had a huge beautiful bread selection at breakfast I asked fora bread basket to be delivered to my room. This wasn't on the menu and seemed to pose a huge problem. They discussed it with numerous bosses and finally gave me a half hearted yes they could do it but it would cost me. I said I knew that and didnt care id it was $50. It finally arrived with great fan fare and a $25 bill!

my pet hate is late night room service that doesn't have a thick gooey chocolate cake.
