Breakfast
I think it's fair to describe the breakfast a a rip-off here.
I think I may have found the most expensive bowl of outmeal I've ever seen: £30, essentially. There is only one breakfast option: the buffer, for $27 + taxes and that applies even if all you want is a small bowl of oatmeal. It would actually be cheaper to have room service. The waiter actually recommended that I go across the street to IHOP for breakfast instead!
On check-in the previous evening, as a valued Marriott Bonvoy Gold member, I was given a stack of $15 vouchers to use. Except, it's not as simple as that, because it's not just a ticket for a $15 deduction. It's $11.58 off, $1,74 gratuity off, and $1.68 tax off. So, when he brought me the bill this morning, for $27+$2.30+$1.89, with a spot for adding a tip, he then had to write on a subtraction of $13.26 and calculate it by hand - which he did correctly and pretty fast, but this is just insane. Surely he should just let me add any tip to the original bill, and then subtract $15 from the final total. That would have been so much easier.
