USA Today: 13 Most Popular Room Service Items

Invalid request error occurred.

Room service is a luxury that we never take part in. I actually can’t remember ever ordering room service besides having breakfast delivered to our cabin during the one cruise that I’ve been on.

Why don’t we order room service? There are a couple of good reasons.

  1. First would be the price. Whenever I look at a room service menu, I can not believe how exorbitant the prices are. Who needs to spend $8 on a bowl of cereal?
  2. The second reason is that we love to get out and explore, eating where the locals go. This would also include visiting popular places shown on food-related travel shows. A great resource to find these places is the handy TV Food Maps app.

USA Today Travel and The Daily Meal found out which hotel room service dishes were the best sellers. They found some surprises on the list like Maryland crabcakes being the most ordered dish at a NYC hotel. Another surprise was that breakfast dishes only made up 6 of the 13 items on the list.
