incorrect order unnecessary hassle
the breakfast buffet provided a nice variety.
I was annoyed that room service didn't get my order correct. It was quite frustrating. also, the hotel charged my card instead of just blocking the amount initiallywith an unnecessary hassle. i expect better from a hotel of this supposed caliber.
