A guest’s shocking $110 room service meal at a luxury hotel ignites online discussions about declining hospitality standards.
They shared a photo on Reddit showing two sad-looking burgers, fries, and a couple of beers in cheap containers. It was a far cry from what you’d expect for that price.
The guest was really frustrated, especially since a 22% tip and a delivery charge were already tacked on. They called it deceptive and said it was just plain awful for a high-end hotel.
This caught the eye of a travel expert who mentioned that room service is really going downhill. He pointed out that hotels are cutting back on all sorts of amenities, including room service, which used to be a big deal.
Other travelers chimed in, sharing their own bad experiences with room service at Marriott hotels. One person even said they’d had better food at a school cafeteria!
Another traveler complained about hotels claiming to be eco-friendly while still using tons of plastic for takeout. It’s like, what’s the point?
The upset diner later said a manager offered a 50% discount after hearing their complaint, but they still thought the food was terrible. The burgers were overcooked, and the fries were soggy.
In a similar vein, another viral story involved guests at The Plaza in NYC who ordered a “Home Alone”-themed sundae and were shocked by a $500 bill. Talk about a wild night out!
