This is 100% how I feel. When I'm traveling, the last thing I want to do is eat in a hotel restaurant that is indistinguishable from every other hotel restaurant in every other city I've been in.
On those (rare) occasions where I'm so wiped out that I just want to eat and go to sleep and not venture out, I just want a sandwich. Grab and go is fine. I appreciate fine dining, and I'm an adventurous eater, but I'm not such a snob that I can't eat a sandwich in a hotel room without a tablecloth and fine china.
When I want "room service" I want something purely functional.
