I've pretty much given up on room service anyway. Too many overpriced, badly cooked, barely warm meals....even in the best places.

If I really, really want to "eat-in" (which isn't often), I'll bring something to the room with me. Either a carry out in the evening or a breakfast bar, cereal, etc. for the morning.
