I was being 100% serious.
As
auandagbug notes, wake-up calls are automated. If you weren't getting them at the correct time, you might have been staying in some dodgy hotels. Personally, if a hotel staff member can't enter a wake-up call correctly, I'd find a new hotel. If the staff can't manage wake-up calls, I'd be wondering what bigger things they're screwing up.
As for the clock radio, you're conflating a wrong time with unreliability of the product. Clock radios aren't newfangled technology. If they have the wrong time, it's because a human being (probably a guest) set them incorrectly. As long as the time is correct, there's little reason to worry that the alarm won't function properly. I've used hotel alarm clocks on every one of my stays in the past 25+ years and never had a single problem.
