I stayed last night in Le Parker Meridien in New York, which is not a cheap hotel. I wasn't feeling well, didn't want to go out, so I ordered room service. Practically the only choice that wasn't salty, over-sweetened, cheap-ingredient food was a hamburger (and that's what I had -- for $21). Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone else care? I don't mind paying room service prices, but I'd really like something decent to eat when, as with this week, I'm on the road, running from meeting to meeting and hotel to hotel.
What kind of hotels are you staying in?

Just completed a stay the Four Seasons Atlanta: the entire menu looked like something from a fine restaurant.

Ordered grilled cheese from the kids menu.
