London Crown Plaza - The City, Saturday July 25 - all rates include 12.5% service charge, even though this is also stated: "Taxes and Fee Details: Discretionary service charge is added to your food and beverage bill when dining at our restaurants, bar or ordering room service."

So what exactly is the 12.5% service charge for when the rate does not include dining?
