... or better yet: take the no-longer issued general circulation notes, pay the hotel bill with a points-earning/cash-back card and return the change in still-issued, general circulation cash and coin with face values of $100 or less.

If they're going to have a stupid policy (cashless), may as well make it more stupid (must charge the meal separately).

What is the point of removing a payment option?
